📞🐄 Peacehaven’s First-Ever FARM-A-THON Needs You!

We’re gathering a small army of joyful do-gooders on Friday, December 5th to help spread the word about Peacehaven’s mission of belonging and community.
Two shifts to choose from: 9–11AM or 11–1PM.

No sales. No pressure. Just friendly calls, great company, and a chance to help make Peacehaven the worst-kept secret in the country. 💚

If you love the farm, the mission, or just want to give a couple of hours to something good… we’d love to have you. Plus, there will be food!

🎄✨ Light It Up This Saturday! ✨🎄

Greensboro’s own Justin Smith — yes, from the family that brought the Lighted Christmas Ball tradition to life — is leading a hands-on workshop you don’t want to miss!

Come learn the magic behind these iconic holiday globes, sip some hot chocolate, roast a s’more or three, and kick off the season with a little sparkle.

🌟 Saturday @ 2PM | Light It Up Workshop
🍫 Hot chocolate + s’mores
🛠️ Led by Justin Smith
🥫 Bring a canned good (or several!) to support Second Harvest Food Bank
🎁 Leave with your own masterpiece

It’s festive. It’s for a good cause. And it’s way more fun than buying another box of lights you’ll regret later.

Grab your spot and let’s light up the holidays together! ✨

🚜 IT’S HAPPENING.
For real. For good. For all of us.

This week, the first excavators rolled onto Peacehaven’s 89 acres - steel giants humming to life against the backdrop of our fields, our barn, and Susan’s View, the home where belonging has taken root for more than a decade. And with that first scoop of earth, something shifted.

The road to Peacehaven’s future (literally and figuratively) is officially underway. The vision has moved from “someday” to “right now.” 🤩

✨ Greensboro’s iconic lighted Christmas balls began in 1996 with the Smith family. We’re thrilled to welcome them to Peacehaven for a hands-on holiday workshop!

Justin Smith and his family will teach you how to make your own festive lighted ball, and we’ll bring the supplies, s’mores, and refreshments.

Just bring yourself, a canned good to donate, and a little holiday spirit. Let’s shine bright together! ✨

Our RISE & SHINE cohort rolled up their sleeves, grabbed the dye bottles, and brought the Peacehaven palette to life in the most creative way possible: custom tie-dye shirts.

What followed was pure, joyful experimentation. Swirls, spirals, crumples, bold choices, happy accidents — the kind of creative chaos that turns plain white shirts into wearable works of art.

Swipe through to see the process and the finished creations; proof that when imagination takes the lead, magic shows up in color. 🌈🎨🌀

We’re so grateful to Anjolina Fantaroni and the team at Elon University's "The Pendulum" for visiting Peacehaven and sharing our story of inclusion, growth, and belonging.

Anjolina's thoughtful article captured what makes this community so special — people of all abilities learning, working, and thriving different together.

📰 Read it on page 7 of The Pendulum’s Nov 5 issue:

The barn became a coffee shop — and it was a hit!

Last week, our RISE/SHINE cohort officially launched RISE & SHINE Roasters, transforming the barn into a full-fledged pop-up café experience. From friendly greetings to perfect pours, participants put their soft skills, customer service, goal setting, and community spirit into action.

A huge thanks to everyone who helped bring this idea to life — proof that when learning meets purpose, beautiful things brew at Peacehaven. ☕

We’ve had a wonderful start to the Promise for Peacehaven campaign, and that’s thanks to our early givers. Your generosity is helping us take the first steps toward building a place where everyone belongs.

Each donation—no matter the size—makes a real impact. It’s the fuel that keeps programs growing, connections deepening, and community flourishing.

If you haven’t joined in yet, now’s a great time. Every gift is an invitation to what is happening on the farm and the steps we’re currently taking to delivering some exciting things OFF the farm (more on that soon 😃).
