Megan Jensen co-farms Sun Moon Farm vegetable CSA with her husband, Craig. She is a bread baker, a simple-foods cook, and a dabbler in visual arts & crafts, enjoying printmaking, embroidery, paper mache, and other simple, accessible media.
Megan came to this property as a farm intern for The Meeting School in 2005. She fell in love with the farm, the community, the long Quakerly meetings, and a co-worker named Craig, and she stayed to serve as faculty Farm Manager, house parent, teacher and community member for three years.
After leaving the school to pursue broader experiences as apprentices for a vegetable farm in rural New York, property managers for a beautiful land trust & community gardens in Ogunquit, Maine, and resident students at Pendle Hill, in Pennsylvania, Megan and Craig were ready to find a place to set down roots for family, farm and community connection. They pursued membership in a cohousing community in Belfast, Maine, but when way opened to return to The Meeting School, they were drawn back to join that lively and deep place again.
When the school closed in 2011 with a hope to re-open within a year, Megan and Craig offered to stay on, to keep the farm going in readiness for the intended return of a school program. Although sad when the school could not re-open, they felt called to the opportunity and obligation of joining with others to help the next good thing grow out of this fertile place.
These days Megan is happy to be raising their son, Fox, in a beautiful place, with a community that supports a good, honest, joyful and hard-working way of life.
