Where Nature Nurtures Growth
About Us
Potter’s Farm is a non-profit educational and spiritual retreat center located on 40 beautiful acres of meadows and woods in the Town of Washburn, near the City of Washburn in Bayfield County, the northernmost county in Wisconsin. For those who share our deep respect of the land and living in harmony and peace with nature, the farm is open to hosting your retreat, meeting, family gathering and more.
The original farmstead buildings are updated to enhance their ability to serve the center. The stone ice house is converted to a bathhouse. Our barn has a new front wall with more windows and lighting. The farmhouse sports an additional large dormer to create more sleeping space, along with a rebuilt porch. We added a yurt which houses our caretakers. Check out our Amenities for details.
