Finding My Calm At Stone of Scone Farm

Take a deep breath, relax, and find your inner calm. Stone of Scone Farm is where I found mine. How? Through what it offers me in mind, body, and spirit wellness and through my husband Bob’s commitment to the farm’s preservation.

We cannot repudiate our historical past for it made us who we are, as a nation and as a people. This land and its structures are more than 200 years old and began with a land grant from the Penn Family to German immigrants who came to America for a better life. Bob and I see it as our personal mission to preserve and share the beauty of this farm with others. We honor what its earliest residents strived so hard to achieve and do not desire Stone of Scone Farm suffer the decay and destruction of many other historic properties.

Because of my higher education background, I desire to establish the Academy at Stone of Scone Farm, where thought leaders would speak on topics of value to a community of learners, particularly young people who must carry on. Stone of Scone Farm is an ideal place for such gatherings because of its serenity and linkages to a proud past. Our farmhouse, registered as a Civil War Building, and our barn, recognized as Adams County’s 2019 Barn of the Year, speak to the importance of preservation for generations to come.

We may have hurdles to overcome on the journey, yet our commitment is unwavering. Nothing worth accomplishing for the greater good comes easy. Yet faith and vision are motivators. Many thanks to all who believe in the promise of what is achievable when we find common ground.
