We are the Crihfield Family, Andrew, Lori, Cullen Ceiran, Chase, and our dogs Lucy, Baxter, and Olive. We have owned Spring Haven Farm since 2002. Lori was the horseback riding instructor for UNC lesson programs, and in addition to that, we did 150 private lessons a week. We started the agritourism festivals, Goat Yoga, and our other events in the fall of 2016. We have loved sharing our farm with the community and everyone who comes and visits! We plan on doing this for a very long time!
