Yah Rapha Farm is a farm in Bedford, Virginia dedicated to offering healing and support to families and individuals battling drug and alcohol addiction. After the loss of their Son, Zachary, to drug addiction and mental health issues, the Essweins were blessed to acquire this beautiful 14 acre farm; a place to ride horses, interact with farm animals, or just experience the peace and healing found at Yah Rapha Farm.
