On October 11, Ann Day died peacefully surrounded by her granddaughters – Ruby and Emma – at home in Peterborough, New Hampshire at the age of 97. For half of her long life, Ann lived at Knoll Farm, and she poured out her love for it in her poems, essays, photographs, and by welcoming countless families who came to stay. We feel the whole hillside mourning her passing. Please light a candle tonight for Ann.

An early memory is when we first arrived at the farm, and Ann showed us how to clear the moss and algae from the livestock spring. All these years, every time we clean the spring we think of Ann. We love you, Ann. You are an inspiration. Thank you for taking us out to the pasture spring and showing us the way. To Deb Barnes and all of Ann’s extended family, please know that Ann’s memory and your lives will always be honored on this land.

with the changing leaves comes the work of closing the refuge. our seasonal staff gathered one last time to get the yurt village, barn, and kitchen ready for winter. we are so grateful for all the hearts and hands that came through the farm this season. with lots of wood keeping our buildings cozy, our team is continuing to work behind the scenes for next years planning - stay tuned for what’s in store!

The lineage of mentorship. I’m currently holding a precious compilation of letters—a correspondence between Peter Forbes and Wendell Berry that goes back to the 1990s. There is so much within these letters. They evoke the care and respect of building a relationship over time, the honoring of elders, the slow and persistent labor to build one’s life work from a deeper place, just to name a few.
Reading them has made me think about mentorship, and about the ways teachings travel through people and places over time. I’ve witnessed this in the ways Wendell Berry’s work has shaped Knoll Farm, and how that influence has shaped the way I understand my own work here.
Like these letters, the seeds of thought that come from Wendell Berry’s work feel precious to hold onto—and to pass along. May the ripples of his work continue to shape the places and communities we find ourselves in.
All are invited to gather this Sunday at 12:30 to celebrate his legacy and to share gratitude for what this work has meant, and continues to mean, in our lives.
Please RSVP through the link in bio.

“the soil is the great connector of lives, the source and destination of all. It is the healer and restorer and resurrector, by which disease passes into health, age into youth, death into life. Without proper care for it we can have no community, because without proper care for it we can have no life” - The Unsettling of America. As stewards of both agriculture and culture, Wendell Berry’s way and words have stood as pillars for us. We hope to honor him by continue to live up to his generative thinkings. To the farmers and culture workers whose path may have also been shaped by this, we invite you to join us. This Sunday September 20th at 12:30. Please RSVP through the link in bio.

while the height of the summer is so full and alive with people and programs, the winding down of the season carries it’s own special energy. We are soon wrapping up our second Facilitating for Change program of this year. Facilitated by Peter Forbes, this program teaches practical skills in facilitating culture change within organizations and coalitions. We are grateful to the many participants who have brought their gifts and perspectives to this program over the years, resulting in ripples of change to important work across the states. On another note, our Spoon Carving offering is coming up in October! Learn more about this or our other programs at knollfarm.org

I’m so happy that a new home will provide a long life for this little muffin. Thanks to The Salt Stones, he will go to live with Diana, who unbeknownst to me, ended up with offspring from my orphan lamb Lightning (you have to read the book). I love how stories keep unfolding off the page.

These portraits taken by Peter Forbes are a special time during our Better Selves Fellowship offerings. It is beautiful to witness the connections, relationships, and expressions that come through after days on the land and with each other here. These photos reflect much of how this season of hosting fellows has felt and we are grateful to support those doing important work. We are thrilled that our Better Selves concert countdown is now down to ONE DAY. Join us tomorrow, alongside A2VT and Bhangra Liberation Orchestra as we celebrate the work of the fellows, the program that supports them, and the power of music to bridge and fortify. We thank our community for the support and generative energy that you bring to our work here. Tickets for tomorrow are at the link in bio or events.humanitix.com/2026-benefit-concert We hope to dance with you on the hillside for our LAST outdoor concert of this year.
