Completely open to the public, Grace Farms is a non-profit center dedicated to initiatives concerning nature, the arts, community, justice and faith.

The main edifice here, called The River, is worth the visit alone: Completed in 2015, it was designed by the Pritzker Prize-winning Japanese architecture firm SANAA.

Radiating a sense of peace, this long, sinuous structure is made from glass and concrete, with a Douglas fir canopy supported by steel pillars.

This houses a 700-seater amphitheater, a tea pavilion, a library, a commons space with an excellent organic cafe and a sunken court for performing arts and recreation.
