In this interview we hear from Quaker farmers Megan and Craig Jensen, who are also educators and builders of community. They met in 2003 while working for the Meeting School in Ringe, NH. In addition to growing food, they served that Quaker educational community as teachers, house-parents and cooks. When the school closed in 2011, they began farming the land, growing vegetables and flowers. They have connected with a wider community through their CSA and also by co-founding a small cohousing neighborhood called The South of Monadnock Community; through membership at Monadnock Friends Meeting (Quakers); and by connecting and cooperating with other local farmers.
They describe the spiritual inspiration for their call to farm the land in a sustainable way, in connection with circles of community. They speak of the importance of everyone grounding themselves in the reality of what is needed to sustain life, and they tell stories about facing the changes and challenges that climate change is bringing, with simplicity, wise use of resources, humility, nurturing relationships, and joy. This interview contains an invitation to engage in their ongoing ministry and to support it.
