Volunteering

Jewish environmental fellowship programme 14th June – 2nd September

Apply now (Deadline May 13th)


Building community, sowing seeds and engaging with culture, traditions and heritage are all part of our fellowship programme. We are re-imagining how we can live together, work together, rest together and still produce beautiful vegetables and a hive of biodiversity.

We offer a 3 month Immersive and educational fellowship. In this time we build community through group meals, classes and working on the land. You will be working with our land manager, vegetable grower, pickler-in-chief and our CEO. The sessions range from vegetable growing, hedgerow maintenance, DIY, cider making, helping in the house and supporting the local community through woodland clean ups or food bank projects. The next programme starts on 14th June and the places are limited. The cost is £500 for three months but we provide full bursaries on request. For more information email talia.chain@sadehfarm.co.uk.

COVID: Sadeh’s Covid rules are strict. Please be in touch for more details.
