Shemesh Farms

Shalom Institute's ShemeshFarms inspires its employees (Farm Fellows) who have special needs and diverse abilities to strive towards independence, self-determination and a life filled with purpose, friendship and inclusion. Together with volunteers, Farm Fellows work at ShemeshFarms planting and harvesting, and creating our signature herb infused culinary salts and spices which we sell at ShemeshFarm Stands at Los Angeles area Farmer’s Markets and on this website. The Farm Fellows participate in every aspect of the enterprise which includes branding, marketing, farming, product development, sales, and packaging and shipping the products sold via our online store. ShemeshFarms is a dynamic environment and a vibrant place where all are treated with dignity and respect. Shemesh Farms aims to empower young adults by inspiring them to take on the responsibilities of building our social enterprise. Our employment opportunities include working as farmers, product developers, sales associates, computer techs and shipping clerks.
