Dear Supporters of FIG,  

FIG needs you now more than ever.

The world, since October 7th, has been marked by profound change and challenges. Thousands are displaced, Israel mourns, small farms are struggling, and a pervasive sense of helplessness lingers. 

We at Food Integrated Gardens (FIG) have not been immune. Our educational Jewish farm in Jerusalem forest has faced significant setbacks. 

The team was disrupted, a farm partner is on the frontlines, and Paz, our founder, has taken the lead in adapting, rebuilding education programs, and single-handedly managing 15 acres of farmland. Despite the emotional, economic, and physical toll, we are resilient, continuing our vital work. 

Help Launch the "Roots of Resilience" Project 

Now, we need you more than ever, both for the farm itself and to launch the "Roots of Resilience" project – a gardening therapy initiative on our farm, Har Hayot in Ein Kerem, Jerusalem. This program aims to empower communities affected by the war, fostering somatic connections, cultivating community, and promoting food security through regenerative agriculture.

You are our lifeline. We are launching a campaign to raise $100,000. As we stretch to serve our community, we must turn to you to help us and help others through FIG. Your donation:
