Joel Jorgensen, Director of Farming at Gideon’s Garden
~ a collaborative project of Grace Church and Taft Farms
Joel’s renewed relationship with agriculture and the earth can be said to be bound together with his faith and work in the church. Working on farms everywhere from his home in Iowa to Minnesota, Arkansas, and Michigan, to California and now Massachusetts, Joel has come to consider farming as more than a job, but rather a discipline through which he and others may be nurtured and formed to the needs of the earth and the communities around him. Joining Grace and Gideon’s Garden, he hopes to bring to the field the breadth of life experience he’s had so far with the depth his ideas and education have given him. When not getting his hands dirty, Joel can be found reading and studying any number of topics which he is almost always dying to talk about.

OUR VESTRY
The Grace Church Vestry meets every month to work towards realizing our community’s vision of who and what we can become – all together. Prayer is central to this process, as is the work of planning, dreaming, and leading the congregation in every aspect of our lives together. The Vestry is led by the Rector and the Senior and Junior Wardens and supported by the other elected Vestry members. Our Vestry members represent the diverse backgrounds of the members of Grace Church. Each person brings with them their own body of knowledge and experiences.
