On-Farm Demonstrations, Seasonal Rhythms

Rhythm is a defining element of life at Hawthorne Valley Farm. The days, seasons, and planetary movements guide activities on the farm. These seasonal demonstrations are free and open to the public.

When working hand-in-hand with nature, dates are not always possible to predict. To receive a notification as demonstration dates are announced, give us a call or send us an email.
