Privacy, Beauty, Creativity, Greatness
Welcome to The Farm—a place where nature and creativity meet, and where everyone is encouraged to focus on what brings them joy.
The Farm is more than just a place—it’s a vision brought to life by Jonathan and Amy Defibaugh, West Virginia natives with a shared love for nature, community, and the arts. Together, they have created a one-of-a-kind sanctuary where artists, creators, and dreamers of all kinds can gather, find inspiration, and connect with a supportive community. Drawing on years of experience in business development and a deep commitment to their home state, Jonathan and Amy designed The Farm to be a haven where people are encouraged to embrace what brings them joy and pursue their passions in a setting that feels both grounding and inspiring.
A Vision Rooted in Nature, Art, and Community
The idea for The Farm began with a simple but powerful vision: to create a space where people could feel free to express themselves, to explore their creativity, and to find acceptance and encouragement. Jonathan and Amy believe in the transformative power of nature and art, and they saw in West Virginia a perfect canvas—a place where they could build a community that celebrates creativity in all its forms. With The Farm, they’ve created an environment where artists and creators can immerse themselves in the beauty of the outdoors, engage with like-minded individuals, and experience the warm welcome of a community that values acceptance and self-expression.
A Place Where All Are Welcome
The Farm is designed to be inclusive, welcoming people from all walks of life. Whether you’re a painter, musician, writer, photographer, or someone simply seeking a peaceful retreat, The Farm offers a space where you can be yourself, focus on your craft, and connect with others who share your passions. Here, creativity is celebrated in all its forms, and the emphasis is on providing an environment where people feel valued, inspired, and free to explore their ideas without judgment. Jonathan and Amy wanted The Farm to be a home away from home for those who come seeking inspiration, solace, or community, and they’ve worked to make it a place where everyone feels they truly belong.
A Haven for Creativity in the Heart of West Virginia
Set against the stunning natural backdrop of West Virginia’s rolling hills, forests, and open skies, The Farm is a retreat that offers both beauty and peace. The grounds have been carefully designed to highlight the natural charm of the landscape, with trails for hiking, serene walking paths, gardens, and secluded spaces where guests can relax and find inspiration. Every aspect of The Farm reflects Jonathan and Amy’s commitment to building a place where nature and creativity come together—a place that reminds guests of the profound connection between the environment and the creative spirit.
Thoughtfully Designed Spaces for Every Type of Artist
The Farm includes a variety of unique spaces crafted to meet the needs of diverse creators and groups. From our full-scale commercial kitchen and dining hall to a cozy 1920s-inspired lounge, every area is designed with comfort, quality, and creativity in mind. The grounds feature beautiful accommodations ranging from vintage Airstreams to glamping tents and yurts, offering guests an immersive experience that combines rustic charm with modern comfort. The Venue at The Farm provides a spacious setting for large gatherings, while our outdoor stage invites musicians, performers, and artists to share their work with an audience surrounded by nature’s beauty. Whether indoors or outdoors, each space is built to support a variety of creative pursuits, with an emphasis on making everyone feel at home.
A Place to Grow, Connect, and Be Inspired
Beyond its beautiful setting and thoughtfully crafted amenities, The Farm is a place to connect—with nature, with others, and with oneself. Jonathan and Amy’s years of experience in business development have taught them the value of community and connection, and they’ve designed The Farm to be a place where people can gather, share ideas, and find support and encouragement in their creative journey. Workshops, performances, communal meals, and casual gatherings create a vibrant, inclusive atmosphere, where guests can make meaningful connections and learn from one another.
The Heart of The Farm
At its core, The Farm reflects Jonathan and Amy’s shared values—a love for the arts, a respect for nature, and a commitment to community. They believe that everyone has something unique to contribute and that The Farm can be a place where creativity and joy take precedence above all else. By inviting people to come as they are and find acceptance, encouragement, and inspiration, Jonathan and Amy hope to make The Farm a true creative haven for anyone looking to reconnect with their purpose, their passion, and their sense of possibility.
