Who We Are...Campbells Lane Farm has transitioned from a traditional Horse Farm to...
A Sanctuary for Human and Animals to deeply rest, feel safe, and Find Inspiration.
Campbell's Lane Farm has been described as a "spiritual" space by many quests and visitors. As the steward of CLF I have, finally, listened to the land, animals and my own personal longings to guide me into this next phase. Anything is possible when we come from a heart-centered awareness. ~ Anne Altvater
