Fox Haven Organic Farm & Learning Center

The Fox Haven Learning Center is a gathering place grounded in nature and contemplative practice, dedicated to nurturing deep and creative conversations among people, restoring human connections with one another and with the natural world, and showcasing practical ways that individuals can make a difference. By offering a wide variety of speakers, on going programs, activities for kids, family gatherings and celebrations, the Learning Center offers the surrounding community a safe haven for gatherings of all kinds.

Fox Haven Organic Farm is restoring and regenerating the health of the land, innovating sustainable agricultural practices that are environmentally sound and can be replicated on other farms.  By demonstrating ways of conserving and enhancing the biological diversity of the land, creating wildlife habitat, and providing organic alternatives to chemically intensive agriculture, we are showing that sustainable farming practices are not only better for the land and human health, but also a viable alternative for area farmers.

Fox Haven is a farm, wildlife sanctuary, ecological retreat and learning center situated in the rolling piedmont hills of central Maryland. It offers a beautiful farm setting for spiritual renewal and revitalization within a one hour drive of Washington DC and Baltimore, with comfortable accommodations in three recently renovated 19th century log farmhouses and large meeting spaces in the big red barn and dairy parlor. For over 30 years, Fox Haven’s forest and farmland have been a training ground for innovative, sustainable farming practices to restore the health of the land, to protect the water quality of Catoctin Creek, and to provide sanctuary and habitat for wildlife.
