“Sundays will be used primarily for Grace Church, but the rest of the week we’ll be open to the community for educational events, youth activities, arts programming and musical performances. Grace Farms will offer a peaceful place to engage with nature, justice, the arts and faith.”

“We hope to soon have a playground, community gardens, an athletic field, trails and maybe even some animals,” she continued.

Grace Farms’ public opening will be the weekend of October 9th, with a fall community day planned for Saturday, October 10th. To learn more about their mission and programs please visit www.gracefarms.org.
