  • Linke Fligl 2021, 5781/5782

    Our 6th year seeding radical diasporic Jewish futures on land!


    Land and Chickens: Transitioned our flock to new stewards; Sold eggs to local community through Rock Steady’s CSA; Grew veggies and herbs for sharing, programs and shmita preservation; Prepared the garden to rest during shmita by cover cropping and declaring everything growing during shmita “hefker” or ownerless

    Education: Shmita and reparations workshop series and slide deck * Taught at Urban Adamah, Jewish Farmer Network, Coaxial and Reconstructing Judaism * Adamah work + learn days * Summer and fall cohorts joined us for garden time and workshops on diasporism and land stories * Land stories (lands you call home, lands in occupied Palestine/Israel, lands your peoples come from) * Community dvar at Jewish Farmer Network’s Kislev community call

    Programs: Musical Kabbalat Shabbat led by Batya Levine * Sukkot: Over 100 people joined us on the land to celebrate * Hallel and harvest day-long Sukkot festival with queer mikveh, community-led workshops and ritual led by Anat Hochberg, Rena Branson and Batya Levine * Garden dates: Local community and guests helped us plant, weed, trellis, harvest and preserve * Build + Brine sukkah build work party featuring “Pickle Soup and Other Tales for the Curious” by Jenny Romaine and Elana June Margolis * Raucous dancing led by Dot Levine and R. Noam Lerman * Kosher shechita led by shochetet Tzuria Malpica (whose first shechita was at LF in 2018!)

    Organization: Decided to close the project after the 7th year (Fall 2022) * Hired Lila Rimalovski as our chickens + garden steward! * Continued to lean into the wisdom of our incredible advisory council * Worked on restructuring our team and built practices to resist capitalist work culture * Visioning for shmita year * Gleaning the learnings, seeding the future, integrating this transition

    Partnerships: Shared land with new friends, queer BIPOC ecological project building community and deepening their farm skills with a plot at LF * Paid $4500 to Schaghticoke First Nations as our annual land tax * Gathered with Wildseed for ritual honoring our land relationship * Sweet Freedom grew their second season at LF, providing fresh food for families of incarcerated folks

    Media: Produced a short film about LF featuring Shelby Handler’s poem “Prophecy from the Socialist Shtetl of California”, filmed and edited by Chana Shapiro * Mother Tongue: We sold over 100 copies and 200 downloads of the second edition of Ki Li Haaretz

    Resource mobilizing: Our second ever Join the Flock campaign raised $60,000 for LF and $60,000 for 40 BIPOC land projects
