Jewish Agriculture Maps

This is a repository of data on Jewish Farms and Farm Colonies in the United States c. 1815-1960.

"In the late 19th century, utopian farming communities were established by Eastern European Jewish immigrants with the philanthropic backing of American Jews. During the period from 1900 until World War II, many of the utopian communities failed, but some individual Jewish farmers succeeded by increasing and modernizing their agricultural output and methods." ¹
