Community Living
The Hava & Adam Eco-Educational Farm is completely dependent upon the energy, creative resources and time of her residents. All members of the farm share responsibility in running the site and making it their home.
As a large family, we cook together, eat together, and work alongside one another. We also enjoy life together, creating time for music, stories & laughter. The hope is to cultivate a community based on mutual respect and communication, guided by the ideals of compassion, not just for our own selves but for the life of the plants, animals, and wild life surrounding us.
As we grow food, we aspire to cultivate the art of communal self-sufficiency and healthy living. The residential community of the farm is usually about 30 folks. Besides Eco-Israel, Hava & Adam is also home to Israeli national service and year of service volunteers.
Language
Many languages are spoken on our farm, however, the primary languages are Hebrew and English. The language of instruction in Eco-Israel courses is English. In addition, Eco-Israel participants learn Hebrew formally, with a teacher, once a week and informally, with the other residents of the farm, on a daily basis.
Housing & Food
Participants are housed in spacious geodesic domes or yurts on the hilltop overlooking the farm. Each dome comes with beds, quilts and shelving. Community living space includes solar showers, compost toilets, shared kitchen and a library.
Breakfast, lunch and dinner are prepared on rotational basis and shared communally. All meals on the farm are vegetarian.
Group Activities
As an Eco-Israel participant, the farm is free to be your home as much as you wish to make it one. We enjoy group hiking, yoga, music, as well as Shabbat & Holiday celebrations.
