Kayam Farm organically grows healthy food 

for the Pearlstone Center and greater Baltimore 

community, while offering both Jewish and nonsectarian 

hands-on agricultural and environmental 

education. We hope to reconnect people with 

their food and with the earth, inspiring social and 

ecological responsibility in the Jewish community, 

greater Baltimore, and beyond. 

Kayam Farm’s 5 acres cultivates organically 

grown vegetables, culinary & medicinal herbs, fruit 

orchards, vineyards, berry & asparagus patches, 

and small grains. The Kayam program also includes 

interpretive trails, wildlife habitat and ecosystem 

restoration areas, and a plethora of environmental 

education programs. 

Kayam Farm at Pearlstone is hiring its first full-time Farm Manager, March 25th-Nov 15th, with $5000 stipend plus free housing at Bejt Kayam and farm produce.  The Kayam Farm Manager will be responsible for managing all farm production tasks- planting, mulching, fertilizing, weeding, irrigation, harvesting, and composting- as well as produce distribution through our CSA, Pearlstone kitchen, farmers market, and donations.  The farm manager will work with other Kayam staff, volunteers, and summer fellows to make the farm as productive as possible.  The farm manager will live with other Kayam staff and apprentices at Bejt Kayam, a beautiful 6-bedroom mansion located one mile away from Pearlstone.  Contact Jakir Manela for more information: jakir@pearlstonecenter.org

The environment is young and relaxed. We all love what we do and are enthusiastic about learning more together. We are building a rural, agrarian Jewish community by thinking about ancient agricultural law and finding applications to the present day and our farm.
