Horn Farm Center for Agricultural Education

Founded with the mission to foster learning through ecological land stewardship, experiential education, and community partnership, the Horn Farm Center has become a bio-regional hub for emergent discovery rooted in the land. Known for its diverse programs, the center offers a wide range of educational opportunities including internships, community garden plots, and a variety of workshops. Over the years, it has established itself as a place where people can connect with the land and learn about sustainable agricultural practices.

The Horn Farm Center emphasizes regenerative agricultural practices that aim to restore and rejuvenate natural cycles. Their philosophy is rooted in the belief that humans are an integral part of ecosystems and that each place is unique, with solutions emerging from nature’s intelligence. They prioritize small-scale, energy-efficient, and low-impact technologies, and emphasize the importance of local materials and people-power. The center's practices are guided by principles of biodiversity, ecological design, and the interconnectedness of all living systems. Their woodland restoration project exemplifies their commitment to integrating woodlands and hedgerows into the farm ecosystem, both ecologically and financially.

The Horn Farm Center offers a variety of programs and events, including classes on foraging, gardening, cooking with fresh produce, and bread baking. They also host special events like the Summer Solstice Celebration and the Pawpaw Festival. The center collaborates with various farm partners and provides training programs in foraging, land stewardship, ecological gardening, and beekeeping. Their mission is to create a world where people live in reciprocity with nature, reviving ecosystems and human well-being through their agricultural practices.
