Wagbo's Mission Statement


At Wagbo Peace Center, (AKA Wagbo Farm) our mission is to provide an inspirational place for people to connect with each other and with the land. Inspired by the wishes of Martha Wagbo and her sisters, Wagbo strives to create a place where sustainable living, support of natural resources, peace and justice and arts and culture are facilitated through education and demonstration. To fulfill our mission, we offer a variety of educational programming related to sustainable agriculture, homesteading, the natural environment, creative expression, historically relevant cultural practices, personal and community resilience, peace and the intersection of all of these.

Look What Wagbo Did in 2025

Renovated an old garage into a Fiber Arts Workshop - classes coming soon!

Partnered with The Friends of Ernest Hemingway in Horton Bay as fiduciary and grants coordinator

A full Program Schedule brought back Full Moon Feasts and Stitch & Such Sundays

A new Fiber Arts & Culture classroom space was developed by renovating an old garage. But before the building could be fixed, stornmwater run-off was redirected and infiltrated with funding help from a Paddle Antrim Ripple Effect mini-grant. Repairs and renovations to the building were completed this fall due to generous  grant funds from the Charlevoix County Community Foundation, the Great Lakes Energy People Fund, Antrim Womens Alliance, Tipp of the Mitt Fiber Fair and other anonymous donors.

Events were a hit with young folks and young at heart. As a result of program funding from the Charlevoix County Community Foundation, Wagbo offered a full schedule of programs twice per month including Stitch & Such creative circles and Full Moon Feast potlucks with a topic of interest. Many new people  became friends of Wagbo. New and old visions for the future of Wagbo were conjured with the inspiration, positive energy and strength in community that bubbled up during these wonderful events.

 A sculpture, “The Young Boy and the Stream”, created by the late Martha Sulfridge of Boyne City, brings to life a Hemingway not often seen–––the young boy, sturdy and resolute, who came of age here in our northern lower Michigan. Her sculpture is a masterpiece of movement and expression envisioning young Ernie battling an enormous fish and is on par with the renown works of Ernest Hemingway himself. This life size bronze was gifted to the community and will reside in a newly created garden at the Bay Township Hall in Horton Bay ofering a space for contemplation and education, now and long into the future.
