The Horn Farm Center’s new Wild & Uncommon Weekend wouldn’t be possible without the support of local businesses who believe in our mission to foster ecological learning through land stewardship, community partnership, and hands-on experiences. We are grateful for their generous support!

Nationally recognized news site, Civil Eats, highlighted the 20th Annual Pawpaw Festival while speaking to the deeper meaning of this truly bioregional fruit! As we like to say, the pawpaw isn’t just a fleeting treat: it’s an invitation to learn more about local food and the natural landscapes we call home.

“At Horn Farm Center, where neighbors tend a flourishing community garden a short distance from young hazelnuts, persimmons and elderberries, Alexis Campbell hopes the pawpaw can be part of something bigger than itself. With that in mind, this year’s festival, now called Wild & Uncommon Weekend, will widen its scope beyond the pawpaw to consider a range of native fruits that are central to the farm’s regenerative vision. The broader focus can educate visitors about ‘bioregional living,’ a way of engaging with agriculture to elevate ‘what’s inherent and special about this particular climate, this particular land,’ Campbell says.”
