Urban Adamah has 200 folding chairs and 20 rectangular 6’ x 30” tables.

Site hosts are available to help with the execution and flow of your event. They may set up and break down furniture, maintain restrooms, greet guests, answer questions and act as a resource should a last minute need arise. They also ensure safe enjoyment of the site, provide direction in case of emergency, and make sure the site is properly closed at the conclusion of each event.

Candles may be used for ceremonial purposes, only for the duration of those services and not for decorative purposes. Battery operated candles are a great alternative option for added ambiance.

Sterno cans are allowed for keeping food hot, but as with any open flame, someone from your group or catering team must be responsible for watching them at all times.

Depending on time of day and level of amplification, the City of Berkeley may require that an Amplified Sound Permit be obtained 30 days prior to all events with outdoor amplified music. If it is required, Urban Adamah can obtain your Sound Permit once a contract is signed. If you would like to have amplified music at your event please reach out to our Retreats & Celebrations Director.

You are welcome to self-cater, work with a caterer of your choice, or use one of Urban Adamah’s preferred caterers. If UA’s kitchen will be used, there is a kitchen use and cleaning fee, which varies depending on the usage details. Please note that UA’s kitchen is vegetarian kosher, so it NOT available for use if meat is being served other than kosher fish.

The farm is a special place, full of non-human life. The plants and animals on here are our friends, and they require delicate handling to be healthy.

Please do not feed the goats or enter the goat enclosure unless accompanied by an Urban Adamah staff member. Please do not pick from the fields or trees, as nearly everything we grow here on the farm is donated to people in our community who don’t have access to fresh food.

In general, please remind your guests to be kind to our living friends on the farm, and don’t hesitate to send any specific questions to tyler@urbanadamah.org.
