Director & Host Family

Since moving to Shady Creek Farm in 2014, Zach (Site Director) and Jordyn have had a passion for not only raising nutrient dense, naturally healthy food, but they have also had a passion for raising up people. They have added eight kids to the family via adoption and foster care, and their farm has been able to offer work, a place to stay, and a mentoring opportunity to people in transition or crisis. They are thrilled to launch Rockside Great Lakes and see lives change.
