Once you are on Haven Lane, PLEASE DRIVE VERY SLOWLY (10mph) and pay close attention to the following directions to get to the correct place:

You will be following Haven Lane, a gravel roadway, for over one mile. Keep to the left. You will see signs for “Farm of Peace” along the way. Disregard any “Private Property” signs posted along the roadway. Don’t turn down any paved drives.

To Get to the Teaching Barn:

Turn right onto Haven Lane West. The two story yellow barn is the teaching (event) barn. Lamb pickup (when offered) is at the other large barn with an open front. Parking for the event barn and lamb is in the small gravel lot between the two barns.

To Get to the Retreat Center aka International Peace Center:

DO NOT turn at Haven Lane West. KEEP GOING on the gravel road until you reach a fork in the road. Take the slight right and you will reading “Farm of Peace.” Drive down the hill until you see a small animal shed & take a very sharp left to get to the IPC (you will see a yellow/gold building with a dome at the end of a driveway); that is where you want to go! (If you continue down the hill to the right, you will arrive at a blue Farmhouse—just turn around and drive back up the hill to get to the IPC.)

Parking Note:

Please park in the gravel parking area. It is best to pull as far forward as possible. Visitors are welcome to drive down to the entryway of the IPC to unload/load their belonging, but we ask that you return your vehicle to the parking lot in between.

We look forward to your visit!
