Born out of the successful effort to save the farm from industrial development in 2000, the Horn Farm Center is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit focused on ecological land stewardship, experiential education, and community partnership.
We're committed to restoring ecological health to both the fields and semi-wild spaces on our farm while providing nutritious food to our community. Our educational programs explore ways for others to do the same: building reciprocal relationships with nature to ignite connection, renew impaired landscapes, and heal ourselves in the process. Some ways we engage the community and activate our mission of education and land stewardship include:
- Proactively building soils, protecting water, and bolstering biodiversity across our landscape.
- Offering workshops throughout the year that explore land-based skills and (re)connection to nature, with topics like foraging, gardening, cooking, natural crafts, and primitive skills.
- Teaching our signature intensive training programs to a growing community of earth-tending practitioners.
- Providing educational volunteer opportunities in our woodlands, wild edges, and regenerative farm fields.
- Promoting community-supported agriculture through a yearly CSA that supplies fresh, nutritious, and organically-grown food to our community.
- Sharing land with renting farm partners and community gardeners.
- Hosting annual events and outreach that celebrate environmental awareness and our bioregion.
