Noonday Farmers

Beth Ingham
Co-Founder and Director
A former Buddhist nun who walked from Tokyo to Hiroshima, Beth understands the patience and attention needed to be of service to the earth. As a member of Haley House, Boston’s Catholic Worker community, Beth spent five years running a soup kitchen and helped to found Noonday Farm, established in 1984, to grow organic produce for those in need.  Continuing her commitment to humanity, she teaches as a Whole Health Educator, a Spacial Dynamics® Associate, a Certified Nutritionist, and an Environmental Science and Biology educator.  Through week long retreats at Noonday, Beth and Bob offer biodynamic and organic farming techniques, composting, fermenting, canning, cooking, movement therapy, greenhouse building and design, inviting all participants to envision living a Green life.



Bob Jennings 
Co-Founder and Director
With almost four decades of experience in growing food organically and sustainably as well as designing and building wind, solar and hydropower energy systems, Bob has transformed Noonday Farm into a vibrant green landscape.  An actor, teacher and structural engineer, Bob is careful to point out that organic farming can only succeed on a relatively small scale.  Offering limited residencies for those who are looking to begin their own gardens and green homes, Bob serves as a wealth of knowledge, teaching homeowners sustainable skills.
