The farm is bustling with activity, featuring a thriving market garden, an organic heirloom plant nursery, an events space, and a yoga studio. There are numerous opportunities to immerse oneself in the enchantment of Peace Farm, so visitors are encouraged to explore their website to discover more about their mission and offerings.
