Chevra Eco Farm "Seed" Fund for Tu B'Shvat

Hi, we're the founders of Chevra Eco Farm.

We're establishing a therapeutic and educational Jewish farm and organic food forest in Israel’s Upper Galilee.

Plant a tree in Israel: $100

Dedicate a tree to a loved one $1,000

Dedicate a small orchard (5 trees) $5,000

Dedicate a large orchard (10 trees) $10,000

Inspired by our Jewish ancestral connection to agriculture, we aim to use sustainable farming and connection to nature to build Jewish identity and community, teach environmental practices, and foster natural healing in the land of Israel. We will accomplish these goals by establishing a regenerative food forest and organic farm in the Upper Galilee which will serve as a hub for Jewish community: informal education programs, holistic healing, eco-tourism, and an opportunity to immerse in Israel’s most lush and beautiful region.

After months of sorrow surrounding the current situation in Israel, Chevra Eco Farms invites you to shift focus toward healing and rebuilding. In honor of the holiday of Tu B’Shvat, which marks the end of a long, dark winter and celebrates the sprouting forth of new life, we ask you to please help “seed” fund a literal and metaphorical tree. Each tree will stand for generations to come in the hills of the Upper Galilee, providing shade and nutrition to our community and environment.

Every small amount helps, but for gifts in the amount of $1000 and above, we encourage you to dedicate a planting to a loved one, a victim of Oct 7th or a fallen soldier. Please contact us for larger gifts and dedications.

The funds raised will be used to complete land procurement, build infrastructure, purchase tools and equipment, perennial plants and trees and solar panels. Full business plan available upon request. For 501c3 or amuta tax deductible receipt please contact prior to making your gift.

“To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of HaShem, that He may be glorified.” (Isaiah 61:3)

Please come visit us the next time you're in Israel!

With prayers for a bright future,
