Our People

Mac mentors Threefold Community Farm staff and interns. Mac began farming in 1975, when he had the “privilege and good fortune” to learn biodynamic methods directly from former co-workers of biodynamic pioneer Ehrenfried Pfeiffer at the Fellowship Community. In 2006, Mac became the Program Director of the Pfeiffer Center and is the core instructor of our Biodynamic Course.

As Farm Manager, Megan coordinates the daily work on our farm, and is an instructor in our One-Year Part-Time Training. She takes a leading role in planning and carrying out our annual Plant Sale and each season’s vegetable production. She directs our seed saving, herb growing, and herbal product production; manages our CSA, Farm Stand, and sales to other outlets. She is our beekeeping manager. Megan is a board member of the Nature Institute. Megan joined the Pfeiffer Center as an intern in 2006 and became a staff member in 2010. In 2014-2015, she studied seed saving under Harald Hoven at Raphael Garden in Fair Oaks, CA.

Kim joined TCF as one of the founding farmers in 2018 as our Dairy manager. She is thrilled to continue contributing her non-farming skills in a more focused role as the Farm Administrator, overseeing all aspects of educational programming, fiscal responsibility, fundraising, events, and community relationship building. Kim first met biodynamics in 2010 at a year-long course with Harald Hoven at Raphael Garden in Fair Oaks, CA. She soon joined their CSA and became a star volunteer, serving on the steering committee, organizing fundraisers, and milking the cows on weekends. Simultaneously, she became involved in the parent guild at Sacramento Waldorf School, chairing several large fundraising events while her son was in attendance there. In 2016, Kim stepped away from Waldorf kindergarten teaching to become a full-time apprentice at Raphael Garden, followed by a summer at Fulcrum Farm in Grass Valley, CA, where she helped tend a small herd of Scottish Highland cows. She continues her relationship with TCF’s herd through weekly milking and training her team of working steers, Tim and Tyler.

In November 2025 Alex joined the team as our Dairy Manager. Alex brings his 10 years of animal husbandry, dairy and regenerative agriculture experience to the farm. He sees the farm as a living being that asks of us, the stewards of this earth, to approach with consciousness and care. Through following the guidance of his own impulse and the work of Devon Strong, Alex found his way into biodynamics within the framework of working with the death forces that are present during the sacred act of harvesting and processing animals for food. Alex is excited to work together to continue to provide nutrient dense food to our community, as well as support the thriving of all the animals, plants, and beings present here on this land.

From a young age, Courtney has always been an avid lover of the natural world. She was first introduced to biodynamics in Camphill Copake in 2010. From there, her journey to continue learning led her to Sacramento, where she worked with Harold Hoven at Rudolf Steiner College. In 2016 she did an internship for a year and a half at The Pfieffer Center. This was followed by an internship at Natural Roots Farm, to continue her training of farming with draft horses. Courtney has now returned to Threefold Community Farm where she assists with a variety of work on the farm, from greenhouse tasks to field work, including her passion of caring for and working with our draft horses. Most recently she has begun to assist Megan with caring for our apiary.

Sara is an intern on the farm with a focus on the dairy. She came to us from Ohio and this is her second season working on a farm. She has experience working outside on a trail crew and as a camp counselor. Sara is interested in biodynamic farming as a way to heal the land and serve community. In her free time she loves reading, camping, and ceramics. She loves being outside and feeling connected with the natural world.

Ayla joined Threefold Community Farm in February 2024 to help share the earth-healing, life-giving work that happens here. A member of the Threefold Community, she brings her sense of place, organizational skills, eye for detail, and warmth to her outreach work for the farm.
