Alongside the essentials for the kitchen garden, we also offer an array of bioregional plants to help you rewild your yard and landscaping, like this Sweet Joe Pye Weed: our first seeds sown for 2025!
Stay tuned for announcements about additional offerings, vendors, and more. While now’s the time to enjoy winter’s chill, we’re excited to once again ring in the growing season with our community this spring!

Revitalizing a degraded ecosystem can seem like a daunting task!
But this winter, 15 curious and committed community members learned how to do just that: partnering with nature to help the landscape heal at a human scale.
After two sessions learning how to assess the land, envision its possibilities, and site prep, students spent their final week of our Ecological Restoration Certificate program planting dozens of habitat-building trees and shrubs otherwise absent from our ecosystem. They concluded their experience by broadcasting thousands of seeds for good measure: sowing many pathways to recovery for a degraded landscape in need of compassion.
We’re grateful to our educational collaborators Waxwing EcoWorks and Reviving Wisdom for helping us spread the seed of compassionate stewardship!

Coming Soon: New Training Program
How we produce food matters. When we directly engage ourselves in the growing process – working to improve the quality of the food we grow and the health of the soil it comes from – we can support the health and wellbeing of ourselves, our families, and our communities.
This spring, we are launching a new Regenerative Growers Training Program at the Horn Farm Center focused on encouraging growers to think less like a gardener, and more like an ecosystem. This is a part-time, hands-on training will support those interested in building a deeper relationship with the land and learning to grow nutrient dense food in ways that foster a healthy ecosystem.
The new Regenerative Growers Training program harkens back to our Regenerative Farmer Training program but has a renewed focus on both annual and perennial food crops grown for small-scale, home garden plots as well as market garden production systems. Stay tuned for more information!

Walk the Seasons: New Ecology Programs
Each season this year, we invite you to explore the meadows and forests of the Horn Farm Center. We’ll tune into the rhythms of the natural world to learn about local ecology, natural history, and ways to better understand the landscape around us.
Walk the Seasons classes invite all ages and experience levels, so whether you’re an avid naturalist or are just beginning to connect more closely with the outdoors, you are welcome!
Nailing New Skills: Carpentry Fundamentals
Interested in learning how to build? Learn by doing in this 3-day, hands-on introductory workshop at the Horn Farm Center!
Explore how to read plans, review measuring and marking, and practice cutting wood using a circular saw and a miter saw – all under the guidance of skilled carpentry instructor, Alex Catizone. You will also learn the basics of wall framing layout for a small structure and how to cut sheet goods accurately and safely. By the end of the course, you and fellow students will construct a functional, versatile storage shed for our community gardeners.
Please join us on April 4th, 5th and 6th from 9am-5pm at the Horn Farm Center to affirm the joy and empowerment of building from scratch in a community setting – an antidote to our fast-paced culture of outsourced builds and disposable designs!
