Orchard Stewards
Drop in for a taste of our year-long immersive faith formation cohort. Orchard Stewards tend the apple and pear trees across the seasons as they dig into Scripture texts about tending the land, planting trees, bearing good fruit, being grafted into Christ, and living in the Spirit.

About the event
Want to meet kindred spirits and encounter the abundance and beauty of Good Courage Farm?
Spend a Saturday with our Orchard Stewards as they learn and grow (literally) together.
We start at 9:00 a.m. and end at 3:00. Let us know in advance if you'll need to arrive late or depart early so that we can help you have the fullest experience.
Here are a few things to know if you'll be joining us for a session:
- We work and pray together throughout the day. Field work throughout the season includes mulching, pruning, thinning, weeding, harvesting, sorting and processing fruit.
- There are plenty of options for meaningful participation for many different body types and ages. Get in touch with us to share your needs and ideas.
- Please carpool as you're able to save fossil fuels.
- Bring a water bottle and packed lunch.
- We’ll provide gloves, but feel free to bring your favorite pair of leather work gloves
- Please wear layered clothing and sturdy boots (we may be working in heat, cold, wind, rain, or mud)
- Come with an openness to how God will be speaking through this experience
You can expect: hot beverages, tools, work, community, reflection and prayer!
Our phone number is 320-331-3332. Call if you get turned around or need information from us on the morning of the field day.
