About the Farm

Background

Kayam Farm has a rich history of cultivating organically grown vegetables, culinary and medicinal herbs, fruit orchards, vineyards, berry and asparagus patches, and small grains on its 5 acres. It is known for its commitment to reconnecting people with their food and the earth, inspiring social and ecological responsibility within the Jewish community and beyond.

Practices

The farm employs USDA Organic Certified practices, including onsite composting, integrated pest management, and drip irrigation to minimize water waste. They focus on ecosystem restoration, enhancing the land with lush forests, multifunctional meadows, vibrant wetlands, and beautiful landscaping. Their stewardship practices are designed to continuously enrich the land over time, leveraging the regenerative nature of fields, forests, waterways, and the biology of the natural world.

The Rest

Kayam Farm offers a variety of community programs such as Upick Berries and Pearlstone CSA. The Pearlstone Campus serves as an outdoor classroom with eco-workshops and programs. They also engage in significant restoration projects like the Tëmakwehane Stream Restoration and Prescribed Fire Meadow Management. Additionally, the farm is involved in tree planting initiatives in the Chesapeake Region, encouraging contributions through their Gift a Tree program.
