a Jewish regenerative agriculture community in Sheldon, Illinois!


Zumwalt Acres (ZA) is a multifaceted farm, community, and educational hub.
We steward vegetables, fruit and nut trees, mushrooms, honeybees and
chickens. We also conduct climate change research and implement sustainable
soil management practices. We host events to exchange learnings, gather
community, make music and art, and celebrate Jewish holidays. We work
towards regeneration of the local ecosystem, climate change mitigation,
providing food for our community, and creating a space where young people
can collaboratively implement their vision of an abundant future.


Our community of 5 farm stewards is looking for 4 fellows to join us for
the summer and/or fall seasons. Applications are due by March 2nd, 2025.


ZA fellows are self-directed folks, aged approximately 18-28, who live at
the farm, co-create community, and support farming operations, event
hosting, and other organizational work. Fellows will collaboratively build
work and community systems that are mutually supportive and center learning.


Fellows will support ZA’s work in the following areas:

- Farm work: harvesting, weeding, planting, tending compost, tree care,
mushroom cultivation.

- Marketing: maintaining a good relationship with distributors (Down at the
Farms, Watseka Farmers Market, Sheldon Food Pantry) and carving paths for
equitable food allocation.

- Event Planning: Support farm events by preparing the space and
contributing to applicable programming.

- Community building: Creating a healthy and conscientious communal living
environment with other members of the house and ZA community.

- Community outreach: maintaining ZA’s connections with the Sheldon
community, other farmers in the area, other food and climate justice
organizations, and participants in community events and research field days.

- Coming up with ideas that you are excited to implement! We are excited to
engage with applicants who are passionate about our mission -- so if you
have a skill set that isn't listed, we want to hear about it in your
application!


Fellows receive free food and housing, and a $650 stipend for the 3-month
season.
