Some Saturdays are for errands. Some Saturdays are for yard work.

And then there are Saturdays like this one… when 70+ neighbors decide to show up and build community instead.

Wake Forest University alumni. Friends from Freeman’s Grub & Pub. The generous crew from Carolina Dining Services (who proved that garden workdays taste better with a cookout). And a whole lot of folks who simply heard the invitation and said, “Absolutely… I’ll bring my gloves.”

Beds were tended. Roses were pruned. Stories were shared. In short, a community practiced what it looks like to be different… together. 🌱

(Also, quick scientific observation: 70+ people gardening at once produces exactly 1,000% more joy than doing it alone.)

We’re cheering a little louder (and maybe practicing our own dance moves) as Peacehaven’s own Phelps Sprinkle and his daughter Roxie take the stage at Dancing With Our Diamonds! Their joy & determination remind us what belonging looks like when it’s in full swing.

Join us in supporting The Arc of Greensboro as they keep the music playing for a more inclusive community. We’ll be over here rooting for 🎉

We’ve got two brand-new tees in the shop—and they might just become your new favorites.

First up, our “Different Together” tee, featuring the Peacehaven logo and our simple invitation to the world: Let’s Be Different Together.

And for those who love a little farm humor, “Talk Dirt To Me.” A nod to life in the garden.

Both are printed on the ultra-soft District Perfect Tri®, it’s the kind of shirt that feels broken-in from day one.

This flight begins where a memory still lingers in the tree-line and ends where belonging first put down roots: https://youtu.be/iLtqG_9s8QI

From the columbarium to Susan’s View, you can feel it: Susan Elliott’s spirit is not simply remembered here, it is still inspiring growth.
And in between, the rising Community Center, where vision becomes reality and belonging is taking shape.

What is happening at Peacehaven did not begin with a building, and it will not end with one. It began with the belief that community could be different together, and every acre of this story is still answering the call.

There are stories that explain a place… and stories that help you feel it.

Our friend of the farm, author Jeri Rowe, recently captured the heart of Peacehaven in a beautiful piece for Our State Magazine. It traces the vision that began with Susan Elliott and grew into a place where friendships flourish and people of all abilities thrive, together. 

We’re deeply grateful to Jeri for telling the story with such care and to Our State for helping share Peacehaven’s story far and wide across North Carolina and beyond.

Take a moment to give it a read. You’ll feel the spirit of the farm in every line. 🌱

A mother’s vision transformed a Whitsett, NC, farm into Peacehaven, a place where differences dissolve, friendships flourish, and every life shines on.

Some days on the farm feel like standing in the middle of a sentence…
one that hasn’t quite finished yet.

This was one of those days.

Neal and Phelps walked the construction site with Tim Elliott, one of Peacehaven’s founders, watching the Community Center begin to rise from the land. Excavators chugging along. Walls taking shape. You can almost hear the future clear its throat. Ahem...

Tim helped plant the first seeds of this place years ago. On this day, he stood on the ground where that vision is continuing to grow.

That’s one of the many beautiful things about Peacehaven; dreams don’t just belong to the people who started them. They belong to the that keeps showing up to build them. Let's Be Different Together.

Construction Update from the future Community Center:

After months of careful planning, we’re excited to reveal one of the newest amenities being added to the building:

The Community Wall (sponsored by the incredible team at Velcro)!

Here’s how it works. Guests suit up in specially designed suits, take a confident leap from the trampoline, and—BAM—stick the landing on the wall. Meetings become more productive (hard to wander off when you’re literally part of the space). Social gatherings bring higher energy. And weddings? Well… nothing unites a couple like hook & loop.

Because a healthy community doesn’t just gather. It sticks together.

Come, help us explore bold new ways to build connection: Safety testing begins April 1. Volunteers welcome.
