Mary Laymon and Greg York bought the former dairy farm in 2010. In 2015 they created a non-profit to support their neighbors. Since then they have offered land for Bhutanese refugees to farm, invited local non-profits to meet in the farmhouse, created a fiber arts maker space and hosted summer camps and an after-school program for underserved neighborhood youth. Tikkun Farm offers yoga, serves community meals, leads writing circles and takes in animal rescues. Recently Tikkun Farm began teaching adult cooking classes and introducing participants to healing experiences like yoga and writing. Since the pandemic closed down gathering events, Tikkun Farm has been sending out 320 crockpot meal bags a week and distributing food to more than 300 families a weekend.  More than 200 volunteers/week partner with us in the meaningful work of feeding our neighbors, caring for creation, tending to animals, preparing youth for jobs, educating children about the environment, growing food, and healing trauma.

Tikkun Farm’s Spiritual Community lives on and off the farm. We offer spaces to practice the spiritual disciplines that heal our hearts and grow our capacity to love. We welcome people to live in intentional community on the farm and participate in sacred gatherings, quiet days, retreats, drum circles, and spiritual direction.

Tikkun Farm’s vision is to serve by restoring: People, Community, and Creation.
