We’ve formed a new monastic community and retreat center—a place of reflection, refuge, and shelter.

Benediction Farm is rooted in the Anglican tradition and located in beautiful Central Virginia.

    Benediction Farm welcomes people of any faith or no faith, but our community is warmly linked to the local Anglican Churches in the Charlottesville, Virginia area.
