Happenings

Coming this summer: Bowmaking!
Maybe you’re an archer who loves hunting with a bow and arrow. Maybe you’re a woodworker who would love to learn a new skill. Or maybe you’re someone passionate about learning techniques for survival and self reliant living. Whatever the reason, this is your chance to learn how to make hunting-quality, wooden bow and arrows from scratch with your own two hands. You will leave with your own finished bow.

The Summer Kitchen is open! In November 2016, we completed the conversion of our 1830s-era summer kitchen with wood-burning squirrel tail oven into a certified kitchen. We are pleased to invite you to be part of one or more cooking workshops that we are offering this season. Limited space means each class is limited to 10 participants who will each have a fun, hands-on learning experience as did these participants in our recent bread baking workshop. Look at those happy faces! Check out these topics:
Rhubarb and Strawberry Chutney
Jams and Jellies
Cooking with Edible Flowers
Cooking Eggplant
Making Soup Stock
Bread Baking
Cooking Venison

Preserving Herbs
Roasted Vegetables

The patio is open! This season we are partnering with John Wright Restaurant to bring you pizzas made with fresh produce from the Horn Farm on the first Friday of the month. Rain delays made the third Friday the first Friday for May. Proceeds of sales of the Horn Farm Special Pizza will benefit the Horn Farm Center. Reservations are highly recommended.

We harvested the rhubarb today and the strawberries are beginning to ripen. We will be using both during our Rhubarb Strawberry Chutney workshop on June 1.
The farm crew has been hard at work getting the crops for the CSA planted. In just a few weeks we will begin to hand out shares of fresh produce to our CSA members. We still have a few spaces left in the Horn Farm CSA.

Today we are pleased to welcome 10th graders from York Country Day School. We will be planting potatoes, building raised beds for Betsy’s flower farm, weeding and mulching the gardens around the farmhouse and summer kitchen, and continuing trail building within our woodland restoration project. Many hands make light work!If you missed our Heirloom Plant Sale, tomorrow, Saturday, May 6th, you can find us at the York County Native Plant Sale at the York County Annex, 112 Pleasant Acres Road, York, 17402–rain or shine, we’ll have a variety of plants–vegetables, herbs, and flowers for sale.

Monday evening, from 6 to 8, join Education Director Jonathan Darby for our monthly foraging class. Click here for more information and registration.
