Join us for the 1st Annual Peacehaven Barnyard Dash!

Running to make a difference in the lives of people with disabilities…

Peacehaven Barnyard Dash is a 5K run/walk through the acres of Peacehaven Farm. You will enjoy running a scenic path through the farm and by the lake, finishing at the farm barn.

This is a FUNdraising event for Peacehaven; if you are able, please raise money for this wonderful organization.

The History of Peacehaven Farm
Peacehaven Farm is inspired by the family members of the farm's leaders: Tim and Susan Elliott, and Buck Cochran. All are parents of children with special needs. They have experienced the joys, the heartaches, the quest to "fix", and the awe and wonderment of having someone they love with intellectual disabilities become all they were meant to be.

The Elliott's twin son had a brain hemorrhage shortly after birth. They wanted to ensure that not only was their son cared for, but that he was also in a learning and loving environment. Buck had long had an interest in people with disabilities and in the ministry of L'Arche communities. The L'Arche model pairs residents with assistants. The residents become our teachers and we all grow. In the fall of 2007, the three began transforming a place called Peacehaven from a dream to a reality.

In 2009 Susan lost her battle with cancer but her vision continues to inspire many people who brought the farm and its programs to life in 2010. We will now continue her dream by running to make a difference in the lives of people with disabilities.
