While Joyfield Farm isn’t unique, we are countercultural. Are you part of this counterculture, too? It’s simple. Be willing to need someone.
Anna Lisa Gross
Anna Lisa Gross grew up on a mini-commune of Christian hippies, who prefer to call themselves the Grosses and the Kindys. Anna Lisa and her husband Phillip recently moved back to Joyfield Farm to be part of a new generation seeking sustainability in community. However, Anna Lisa spends a lot of her time in Fort Wayne as co-Pastor of the Beacon Heights Church of the Brethren, as they explore being a progressive church in this rapidly changing culture and world. As capitalism and militarism annihilate, her communities are exhausted by trying to take care of themselves and each other. Anna Lisa is praying for hope and hoping for transformation. Four-legged companions, knitting and audiobooks bring her joy.
Did you know that the pumpkins we decorate our porches with are a significant contribution to climate change? Landfills are the third greatest producer of methane, and the majority of pumpkins end up in the landfill, rotting into methane and leachate.
