Green Prophet recently wrote about one of my favorite local places to visit – the Hava & Adam ecological farm and education center in Modi’in. They presented a rundown of all of the events and happenings going on this summer on the farm. I can’t say I am even remotely involved in the farm, but as a resident of Modi’in I am very proud of its presence. She likes chickens.

Their goals:

The primary focus of Hava & Adam’s is its array of educational projects. Some are conducted on the Farm site while others are held in the larger community. We have established eco-centers in 20 schools, guided some 10 community gardening initiatives, trained about 80 counselors, taught officially certified courses in Permaculture Design, operated summer camps, conducted holistic healing treatments, and run a variety of activities and workshops in crafts, cooking, herbal remedy preparation, organic farming and hosted hundreds of visitors – children, youth and adults from Israel and abroad.

I actually just brought my daughter there on Friday to look at the chickens (she likes looking at chickens) and check out the opportunity for “renting” out a small plot. I concluded that I would need at least one more partner in crime in order to properly maintain a small plot of land. I am not much of a toiler and the heat there….unbelievable. Maybe in the fall when it is cooler. In the meantime, I’ll just visit the chickens. I like them too.
