Spirithaven Farm is located on a 130-acre parcel of land in the Blue
Ridge Mountains near Stuart, Virginia. While it is a work in progress,
it is the realization of a dream of its caretakers. Named for the ability
this land has to make one's Soul and Spirit feel "at Peace",
Spirithaven Farm is home to the Eutsler family and all of its resident
Life Forms both domesticated and indigenous.
Spirithaven is a working farm where several species of uncommon
livestock are raised. St. Croix sheep, Myotonic or "Tennessee Fainting"
goats, blue-egg-laying Ameruacana chickens and 
acrobatic
Breslauer Tumbler and Birmingham Roller pigeons call the farm home. Visitors
to Spirithaven will also see horses and peafowl roaming the property along
with their wilder neighbors including White-tailed deer, turkey, bobcats
and the occasional Black bear. Our pond is alive with catfish, bass and
bluegill, and our fields with fruit trees and ornamentals.
We believe this land is so special that we feel the need to share its
energy with like-minded folks at certain times during the year. To that
end we began to offer workshops and retreats that emphasize Arts and Music.
Our "Flagship" event is Darbukastani Independence Days, a three-day
festival revolving around Central Asian music and dance, drawing interested
people from around the country. We also host smaller local events featuring
Bluegrass, Folk and Celtic music and dance.
FUTURE PLANS
We are always looking to expand on our offerings of educational workshops
and events. Earth-skills and Holistic/Contemporary healing events are
in the works for the near future. A small performing arts center is on
the drawing board which will also house our vintage 80 year-old yurt from
Uzbekistan. It is also hoped that within a year or two we will be able
to offer Bed and Breakfast services on the farm in addition to the camping
facilities in existence at present.
We welcome inquiries about and suggestions for other events and/or services
we might provide.
