LIVE. WORK. GROW.
Worship!
SUN
Live (in community)
Theoretically our world is more "connected" then ever, yet most people feel alone. We trade real conversations for scrolling through feeds. We've replaced face-to-face time with screen time. We know what strangers are doing on vacation but we don't know the names of our neighbors. At Abraham's Table Farm we're practicing something different. Fellows will live in real community and share in the joys and challenges of working shoulder to shoulder with other people, while eating communally, and sharing living spaces. And it doesn't end there. Fellows will also be engaging the wider community through local church involvement and hospitality.
Work (as calling)
For most people modern life is overscheduled and too busy. We stay on the treadmill but wonder if what we are doing even matters. Work on the farm is an opportunity to use your mind and body for something meaningful and transformative. We work with our hands doing practical work like tending a garden and caring for animals. But we also work with our minds and hearts engaged. You can expect to get your hands dirty and be challenged by large tasks as well as important details. You will need to show up fully in your work. By submitting to these challenges and giving yourself to the daily care of the earth and confronting the sheer mystery of emerging life you will be humbled and inspired. You will experience the joy and satisfaction of doing something that is good for you, your community, and the environment around you.
Growth (by design)
Social media has turned our lives into a performance and comparison trap that keeps us distracted from tending the deep growth of our souls. But like growth in a garden, deep growth of the soul takes attention, care, and diligence. And while we can't force you to grow any more then we can force plants to grow, we can establish helpful conditions for growth and encourage you to do the personal work needed. You can expect to be challenged to think deeply, recon with your history, establish good habits, and take responsibility. You will get honest feedback, mentorship, and resources to help you hear and respond to the call on your life.
Worship and Feasting
Between the rat-race of busy work, the image obsession of social media, and a life filled with distractions and screens, many people feel hollow and a craving for something they can't put their finger on. We believe the purpose of life is to glorify God by enjoying him and we take that seriously here on the farm. To that end, life on the farm is punctuated by periods of rest and celebration. Our work is balanced with leisure, play, beauty, and feasting. Not only are there regular and re-occurring times of rest and recreation, but we are also intentional about marking time with seasonal feasts, sabbath rests, and hospitality. You will be expected to participate in these rhythms and practice the important skill of letting go of your efforts and ambitions and dropping into healthy re-creation.
ABRAHAM'S TABLE FARM
Fellows Program 2026
Our modern culture is full of noise and distractions. Excessive social media leaves us feeling lonely and disconnected from community. Over scheduled lives and excessive busyness leave us feeling exhausted and disconnected from our values and God. Even our homes, work, and school cut us off from the natural world. And while talking, thinking, and reading about the problem is important, it often also leaves us feeling restless and stuck.
This problem is culture wide, but it is a particular challenge for young adults who need to begin building their lives. Many young people are aware of these issues but haven't been shown any clear alternative. We’re here to help young adults become rooted and reliable members of their community.
What To Expect:
The farm will provide Fellows with free room and board during their time on the farm.
All Fellows will receive personal mentoring.
All Fellows will receive extensive hands-on training in farming.
All fellows will receive a stipend each month to cover personal expenses.
What We Expect:
Embodied Work:
To do well here you will need to be ready and willing to work on the farm tending the land and animals and growing food. Farm work will be your main occupation and where you will learn lessons and gain skills.
​
Rhythms of life:
You will also need to be ready and willing to submit to the seasons and rhythms of life on the farm including daily schedules and weekly commitments as outlined below. These rhythms are important for deep formation and the unity of the group.
​
Personal Reflection:
It is also important that you be eager to grow and willing to engage in weekly 1-on-1s, periodic reading assignments, and regular group discussions as well as working on your own personal habits. A desire to grow and be challenged is essential if true growth is going to happen.
​
Community Involvement:
Our farm does not exist in isolation and neither do healthy people. Life on the farm will require you to share living spaces with others, participate in the local church life, and be a pleasant team mate during work hours. We will expect you to be humble and willing to live with other people who may challenge you. We will expect you to help us show hospitality and be a guest in other situations.
​
Reliable Commitment:
The farm and the farm’s community will be relying on your faithful work to grow nourishing food. Therefore, it is also essential that you be willing and able to remain faithful in the work for your entire commitment period. While there will not be any kind of binding contract it is important that you are willing to personally commit to the full season as you will be an essential part of the farm and many people will be relying on you.

Daily Rhythms:
Wake Up:
We strongly encourage every fellow to develop a healthy personal morning routine that sets them up for the day. We can help you develop this habit while you are here. Generally we encourage people to rise with enough time to move their body, spend time in prayer and the Word, and eat a solid breakfast.
The Call to Work:
At 8am the farm bell will ring, calling everyone to the day’s work. We will briefly gather as a group to go over the day and make sure everyone is on the same page about roles, responsibilities, and priorities. We will end the meeting with prayer and then move out into the work we are called to.
Chores:
Morning work begins every day with morning chores. After chores are completed we will continue working till lunch at 12:30pm. Daily work will typically involve harvesting, planting, cultivating, trellising, general garden work, general animal work, and property maintenance. The vast majority of the work is outdoor and active though not extremely strenuous.
Lunch:
Lunch lasts for 1 hour. Most days fellows will eat as a group. On harvest Mondays we eat a large meal all together and are joined by other friends of the farm.
Afternoon Work:
Afternoon work is similar to morning work. At about 4m we break for evening chores. Once evening chores are finished the work day is over.
Shower Hour:
The hour from 5pm-6pm is free for showering and resting.
​
Evening Meal:
Dinner is served at approximately 6pm but it can vary depending on the evening.
​
Evening:
The time after dinner is open for personal things. There will be a rotation for meal clean up duties. Some nights during the week will have scheduled events. Saturday evenings are often reserved for hospitality which involves inviting guests over and making pizza in our wood fired pizza oven for the entire group. Fellows will be expected to participate in making pizzas and engaging the guests.
​
Return of Night:
Lights out / Bedtime is not enforced but we expect fellows to maintain healthy sleep habits and make sure they are getting adequate sleep for the next day’s activities.
Meals:
Breakfast is on your own. The farm will provide a well stocked pantry for all to take from. You will be responsible for feeding yourself each morning.
Lunch will typically be on your own with fellows generally eating together. It will be up to them to coordinate cooking or not. The exception will be Monday when we eat a large group meal with all the guest workers who help us with harvest.
Dinners will be a mix of provided and on your own. There will be evenings when fellows eat together as a group. There will be evenings where the entire farm eats together as a family. There will be evenings where fellows are hosted by other families. There will be evenings with intentional discussions during dinner and there will be evenings where we host guests on the farm.
​​
​
Other Notes:
Laundry facilities will be provided on the farm with specific hours of access. .
Living facilities are simple and range from four season cabins to summer cabins with outhouse and shower facilities. You will be expected to keep your living spaces clean.
Farm vehicles are not for personal use–please bring your own car or arrange to borrow.
