The Peace Farm
was established in 1986 as an information source about the Pantex Plant
and to stand as a visible witness against the weapons of mass
destruction being assembled there. The Farm consisted of 20 acres and
now is one acre of land on the southern boundary of Pantex. Because it
is located adjacent to the plant, the Peace Farm has legal and
regulatory rights not shared by more distant organizations, and thus
plays a unique role in empowering those who would see a world free of
nuclear weapons.
Since its founding, the Peace Farm has been involved in
educational, protest and advocacy work on a wide range of peace, social
justice and environmental issues. We have hosted practiccus for college
students and spiritual and educational activities for the community. The
Peace Farm works closely with other organizations located near
Department of Energy facilities , and with both religious and secular
national peace and justice organizations. We are a membership
organization, with members across the state and region, as well the
Panhandle area.
