Nathan Yaple (he/him)

Nathan is a thoughtful, collaboration-oriented leader in our community as well as a part-time knitter and Pysanky egg artist. He oversees the smooth integration of our work teams with the clinical and residential aspects of our program. Nathan provides support and guidance to each work team in the execution of their tasks within the therapeutic mission and vision of the Farm. The best part of his job is getting to be a part of each work team and seeing that his work has a direct, positive impact on his colleagues and community members. He loves that his work and life are interconnected with the wellbeing of his fellow Gould Farmers. His academic background in education informs the way he approaches his work: he thinks a lot about how people learn and what motivates them, positioning himself as a facilitator. Nathan lives here with his partner, Brett, and their cat, Claire. He enjoys spending his free time hand-crafting all kinds of things from art to food.
