Dear Friends, With a mix of emotions, I am writing today to let you know that our founder, Nurya Parish, is stepping down as Executive Director. Obviously, we will miss Nurya’s leadership tremendously. Her contributions to the organization she envisioned and created are almost too many to list. Over the past ten years, Nurya has often told the story of her call from God to start the Farm, but her intelligence, creativity, and dogged commitment brought that call to life. Though this is a watershed moment for our organization, she has laid a remarkable foundation for Plainsong to continue to flourish...

Über uns
Plainsong Farm is a living laboratory for a healthier and more sustainable future. As a non-profit, we exist to restore connections between people, places and God. No matter what you believe (and what you don’t believe), we are here to help you… …know and love the place where you live, …serve the health of our shared earth, …and grow as a thriving human soul, inspired by wisdom in the Christian tradition. At Plainsong Farm, we grow food for people, care for our community and the earth, and help God renew hope for the world. Volunteers and groups come to the farm to learn how food is grown, to plant trees and tend pollinator habitat. Community supported agriculture farmshares, available seasonally, help build a more resilient local food system. We give away fresh, organically grown vegetables to food pantries helping people cope with poverty. And we help others grow and give good food through church and household gardening programs. Seasonal worship and discipleship programs provide spiritual renewal for the general public. Young adults spend months in residence at the farm working the land, taking classes and rediscovering their place in Creation through our fellowship program, now part of the Episcopal Service Corps. On a national level, we’re working to help churches use land for good: to grow food, make justice, and mitigate the effects of climate change.
