Join Our Community!
Community members make an initial 1-year commitment as full time Caretakers of Jerusalem Farm. All community members are provided housing, food, and a small living stipend.
Living at Jerusalem Farm is more than a job, it is a way of life, rooted in the four cornerstones of Prayer, Community, Service and Simplicity. We are a community committed to living in solidarity with our neighbors and strive to create a space where folks gifts and talents may be of service to the common good.
All caretakers are expected to participate fully in hosting service immersion experiences. The descriptions below show opportunties to explore and develop in specific roles; however, service activities will be directed towards current needs.
