Where the first Peace Flag was put up! Where people of all faiths come together in cooperation and harmony! Staff work hard, rooms are beautiful and timeless and most importantly this will forever be a historic place for the Baha’is. Abdul’Baha himself visited Sarah Farmer here before she passed away.
I grew up going to Green Acre. I enjoyed going for summer schools, and other conferences. I was young when we stayed here so I don't remember much about the place, however, the feeling of welcome I remember and the love from all the people was ever present. I have been back twice as an adult, to visit the beloved Master's room. It always brings calmness and peace.
Beautiful and spiritually uplifting - and what amazing history - looking forward to my next visit!
In 1890, John Greenleaf Whittier wrote a poem to Sarah Farmer (who owned the property and founded the School) -
What shall we bring to her,
What shall we sing to her,
Of our love a token?
What of her worth say
Written or spoken?
Perchance while these latter days
Light up Piscataqua’s
Sunsets of glory
Some bard of Green-Acre
More worth may make her
The theme of his story.
God’s angel we rank her!
If vainly we thank her
For all she has given,
The years of right living,
Of blessing and giving
Are counted in Heaven.
Of rough life the smoother,
Of sorrow the soother,
Of trouble the calmer,
For blinded eyes seeing
God bless her for being
Just Sarah J. Farmer!
