Green Acre

Green Acre

Green Acre is a conference facility in Eliot, Maine, in the United States. It was founded by Sarah Farmer in 1894.

After Sarah Farmer became a Bahá'í in 1900, many Bahá'í speakers were invited, including Mírzá Abu'l-Fadl in 1903, `Abdu'l-Bahá in 1912 and Mírzá Fadil-i-Mazindarani in 1920. In the 1913 Green Acre came into Bahá'í hands, and in 1929 it was converted into a summer school facility. It is now one of several permanent, year-round Bahá'í schools in the US.

Green Acre has been home to the annual Badasht Academy since the summer of 1999. A weeklong intensive study of Baha'i history, Badasht Academy is a four year program for high school aged students, most of whom reside in the northeastern United States.
