We are a working family farm that offers country quiet and rural beauty, along with sophisticated dining and unparalleled comfort.

Peace Hill Farm, owned by writer and historian Susan Wise Bauer, is a hundred-acre family farm that raises rare Leicester Longwool sheep, Angora goats, ducks, and chickens.

Our Afternoon Tea & Light Lunch offers you soup, finger sandwiches, sweets, scones, and pastries--plus tea or coffee, of course, along with a full wine list. Linger as long as you like, looking out over working farmland and sheep pastures; add a farm tour with our compliments; eat indoors or out (in nice weather, under the trees; in colder months, in front of the fireplace). Stay as long as you like, breathe deep, and enjoy.

Afterwards, browse our farm store! We produce fiber (fleeces, rovings, and beautifully finished yarns) plus lambs, kids, and free-range duck and chicken eggs.

We offer customized farm-to-table dinners--ask for details

The New Year’s Tea was wonderful. Delicious food and gracious service. My best friend and I were seated in a room to ourselves and it was a perfect spot for catching up. Lovely views too. Peace Hill Farm never disappoints!

My daughter and I were very pleased with our experience at the Tea Room at Peace Hill Farm! Our attendant was most gracious and had prepared a lovely tiered meal of four different kinds of sandwiches, four different desserts, a special butternut squash soup and a lovely pot of Christmas tea. The most special thing was that the eggs for the egg salad sandwiches came from their farm; the ham on the ham biscuits was from the pork they raised, and the breads were homemade! The ambiance was lovely, too!

Afternoon tea at Peace Hill was absolutely delightful! Louise made a wonderful meal and it was so fun being in the home of Susan Wise Bauer. We’ve used so many of her homeschooling books and it really was such a treat.
