The Hawthorne Valley Farm Learning Center seeks to inspire, strengthen, and transform the connection between people and the living land.
The Learning Center offers professional education in sustainable agriculture to those who choose farming as a vocation and provides opportunities for children and adults to enjoy farm-based, practical and artistic experiences within the context of a working Biodynamic farm. The Learning Center is a place where individuals learn and grow together through the skills and core values that come from a deeper relationship to the land that sustains us.

Join us for a festive evening on the farm in celebration of 40 years of place-based learning.
The Hawthorne Valley Farm Learning Center includes: Farm and Arts Program Farm Beginnings Biodynamic Winter Intensive
The Farm Learning Center joins Hawthorne Valleys other pioneering place-based learning programs, including the Visiting Students Program, Residential Summer Camps, the Farmscape Ecology Program, and the Farm Apprenticeship Program.

[Hawthorne Valley] the cradle of the movement when it wasnt clear it was going to be a movement.
