Peace Hill Farm — Attraction in West Point

An unforgettable farm-to-table experience in the heart of Charles City.

We had the absolute pleasure of attending a Sunday lunch at Peace Hill Farm in Charles City, Virginia on April 6, and it was nothing short of magical. Set outdoors behind the historic farmhouse, the setting was as perfect as the weather—sunny skies, blooming trees, and the peaceful charm of the countryside.

Chef Eric Garcia, who also happens to be the farm manager, prepared a spectacular multi-course meal that showcased the best of local ingredients. Fun fact: Chef Eric was formerly a chef at the famous Trellis Restaurant in Williamsburg, so it’s no surprise the food was incredible. We started with a beautifully arranged charcuterie board featuring Virginia artisanal cheeses and Peace Hill Farm–cured meats, perfectly paired with a 2023 Thomas Henry Pinot Noir. The butternut squash soup with rosemary and sage was a standout, followed by slow-roasted barbacoa-style beef with local oyster mushrooms and thyme potato gruyere flan—rich, flavorful, and beautifully presented. Portions were generous, and they even encouraged guests to go back for seconds—something we happily took advantage of! For dessert, the hummingbird cake with toasted pecans and mocha caramel sauce was divine, and the locally roasted coffee from Flying Kite in Williamsburg was the perfect finish. I wish I had taken photos, but everything was so delicious I dove right in without even thinking about it!

Our gracious host, Susan, welcomed everyone with warmth, and her children helped serve throughout the meal, adding such a personal, family touch. The event was intimate, with about 30 guests in attendance—that’s their typical limit—and it created a cozy, communal feel. These lunches tend to sell out well in advance, so definitely check their calendar early if you’re hoping to attend.

After lunch, we were treated to a hayride tour of the farm where we got to meet the animals—including brand new baby lambs that had just been born! We also visited pigs, chickens, cows, and horses, and learned about the thoughtful, sustainable practices the family has followed for generations.

Peace Hill Farm offers more than just lunches—they host afternoon teas and other seasonal events throughout the year. If you’re a camper, you can even stay on-site through Hipcamp or Harvest Hosts, and there’s also a cozy Airbnb cottage and a traditional B&B right on the property.

This place is a true hidden gem—beautiful, welcoming, rooted in family, and absolutely...

The farm was beautiful but the proprietor is a miserable, disgusting excuse of a human being. She approached our camp with her muddy dogs as we were having our breakfast to tell us we were taking up too much space (on our checkout day- we had spent two nights and three days here. I messaged her when we checked in to make sure we were in the right spot and she said yes!) and her dog took my three year old son’s breakfast and ate it. And she was so busy being rude to make a nonexistent point she had to be reminded to apologize and she said “well it’s a farm”. Then she said our dog has to be on a leash- in the meantime her gross muddy dogs the second we got there came running up to our dog to play and run around and sniff our dogs butt and she was supposed to have nowhere to go? In all my travels I’ve never encountered such a reprehensible, sinister, pathetic person. And she knows it because I said it all to her face and it’s as though she heard it all before. There are plenty of gorgeous places in the area to stay. Don’t give this person your business. She should hire someone with a good personality for the hospitality business and stick to cleaning up the sheep dung in...

Peace Hill Farm B&B, nestled within a vast 150-acre working regenerative farm, is a special place. As we wandered the property, the peace and quiet enveloped us, transporting us to simpler times. Our night was undisturbed, so serene that it might just have been the best night's sleep we've ever had. We woke up to a delicious homemade breakfast made from fresh ingredients from the farm, and then had a traditional English tea later that morning. Peace Hill Farm truly is a special place, and we're so glad we...
