Eirene is the Koine (New Testament) Greek word for "harmony." It's actually translated "peace" in most places. But in Greek culture, the idea of peace was not a passive concept or an absence of conflict. Rather peace was something active, where parties worked to find common ground and maintain a relationship. Or where a person worked to maintain a harmonious relationship with his or her environment.
Irena is our farm name, taken from this Greek word, and intended in all the senses of the original word: harmony with God, our fellow created beings, and creation in general.
