Founded in 2007 to serve adults with intellectual and developmental disabilities, today Peacehaven is reaching people of all ages and abilities with programs and resources for anyone who believes in the dignity and perspective of everyone. At Peacehaven, we are building community by re-imagining collaboration.

The mission of Peacehaven Farm is to connect people of all abilities through inclusive living, learning, work, and play. Our vision is to be a catalyst for learning, growth, and belonging for people of all abilities everywhere.

The full vision for Peacehaven’s 89 acres will be realized over the next few years beginning with a multipurpose community center followed by residential housing, an arts center, outdoor recreation spaces, a multidisciplinary health care clinic for the I/DD population, and expanded farming operations. These will be created to serve and appeal to people of every ability while addressing the specific needs of those with an I/DD.
