Staff Members
Julia Barcello – Interim Executive Director
Originally from southern Arizona, Julia Barcello is coming back home to Nazareth Farm as Interim Executive Director. She has previously lived at the Farm as a staff member and served as Project Coordinator. Since then she has pursued her passion for food justice working on a non-profit vegetable farm, expanded on her construction skills building greenhouses all across the state of Vermont, and taught Earth and Environmental Science to high schoolers. Her love of this place and the surrounding community, as well as her passion for living out the tenets of Catholic Social Teaching drew her back to Nazareth Farm. In her free time you can usually find her outdoors – playing guitar on the porch, in the garden, biking, stargazing, or exploring the beauty of West Virginia.
Morgan O’Regan – Staff Member since June 2024
Morgan joins staff here in June after just graduating from Saint Anselm College in New Hampshire in May where she studied Social Work and Sociology. There she was able to engage in service in a variety of ways which eventually led her to Nazareth Farm as a volunteer then for the following summers as a sojourner. Morgan originally grew up in Connecticut where she learned to love hiking, snowboarding, cooking, and living with pets including many chickens and a dog, + the occasional black bear. But her love of rural West Virginia and the community at Nazareth Farm are one of the many reasons she came back to join us on staff. You can often find her spending time chatting in the living room, at a meal, or any car ride, embracing community or maybe attempting to play the harmonica. She loves a new adventure and is always willing to go and explore somewhere new such as the foundation of the farmhouse or the attic of the mega barn.
Rachel Greiner – Staff Member since January 2025
Hey, my name is Rachel and I joined the staff at Nazareth Farm in January 2025. I am from Toms River, New Jersey which is right along the ocean. I graduated from the University of New Haven in May 2024 with a degree in Criminal Justice with a concentration in investigative services and a minor in communications. I was introduced to the farm when I was in high school through my parish’s youth group CYGNUS. I fell in love with the farm my first time as a volunteer and continued to volunteer two more times after that. To find a place as beautiful as West Virginia and a community that nurtures my faith has been a blessing which I will be eternally grateful for.
Vincent Laury – Staff Member since January 2025
Hiya!! My name is Vincent, but most people close to me call me V.. my older sister wasn’t able to pronounce my whole name as a child, thus the one letter nickname. I’m a staunch supporter of almost all things St. Louis, Missouri, the wonderful Midwestern city from which I hail. I went to the University of Dayton where I studied both Theology and Sustainability, so living and working at Nazareth Farm is a fitting marriage of both my academic and general interests. Some things I enjoy are anything sports related (playing, watching, talking about, quizzing people on…etc) with a significant emphasis on disc sports. I love whistling so much! Especially to songs that I’m likely not going to know the lyrics to; whistling to them makes me feel somewhat included… I love hanging out with people, particularly when it involves annoying my friends who actually like to read. Having fun is so fun!
Hiking, wandering, and adventuring are also things I find great joy in. So if you ever want to hike the Appalachian Trail, or up the holler hillsides, both places where God is so extremely present, let me know! I also really love my stuffed animal bunny Bopsy and the Ice Age movies, especially 2-4.
I’m so excited and hopeful for living life to the fullest at the farm, in home repair, gardening, and all things growing in my faith and in relationships with the people around me!
