Community Spring Work Party
Followed by a vegetarian community lunch, catered by Ariel Shapiro
Join us for a morning of work projects for people of all ages to help prepare our Farm for this growing season! This is a celebration of earth, food, and each other that is not to be missed. Projects include landscaping, mulching, weeding, planting, sign painting, and more. There will also be activities available for young kids to participate. All are welcome!
Most work projects require standing, lifting, and/or bending, but there are seated work options available.
We recommend arriving in sturdy clothes that you can get dirty, and coming equipped with any gloves and gardening tools you might own. Above all else, come as you are! No registration required. May the Fourth be with you.
Interested in volunteering at the Welcome Table or to help us clean up from lunch? Sign up here for a volunteer shift!
Let My People Sing!
Let My People Sing! is a cultural project expanding the ancient and transformative practice of Jewish communal singing. We gather in multi-racial, multicultural and genderful Jewish community, uplifting songs and leaders historically and ongoingly pushed to the margins. Together, we transmit and reclaim diasporic Jewish singing traditions, celebrate original music emerging from our communities, and create heart-centered gatherings where we can all be leaders and learners of song.

Singing Into Freedom - Community Song Circle
Join song and ritual leader Molly Bajgot, along with Farm Manager Nat Ross and percussionist Richie Barshay, for a reflective and joyful Passover song circle. Through ancient melodies and new interpretations, we lift our voices in celebration of freedom and renewal. Whether you love to sing or simply want to soak in the music, come as you are—ready to share in a soulful journey in song. As we prepare our hearts to clear away the chametz of the past year, we will sing, reflect, and connect with the themes of resilience and collective liberation that define this sacred season. April 10th, at 7:00pm on Abundance Farm, all peoples welcome.
Medicine on the Seder Plate
In this class, we will explore the physiological wisdom in the plants held sacred by the Jewish people. We will delve into the bitter flavor, as we discuss why neither horseradish nor lettuce, the foods often included as "bitter herbs" on the seder plate, are particularly bitter. We will learn about the vital importance of the bitter flavor for the functioning of our body systems, as well as the uses of the other flavors in these plants. We will discuss how our body's needs correspond with the seasons of the year, and how these differ by climate. Registration Required.
