About Us

Gorman Heritage Farm is a 122-acre nonprofit, working farm with a mission to educate about agriculture, nutrition, sustainability, and the environment. The vision of Gorman Heritage Farm is to cultivate an informed, involved community dedicated to Building Healthy Futures. Our values fulfilling the Gorman’s legacy are: Self-reliance, Stewardship, Service, Fun Experiential Learning, and Meaningful Labor.

The Farm consists of 30 tillable acres, a farmyard with a variety of animals, several gardens, 40 acres of wooded hillside, 5 miles of hiking trails, and a natural pond. We encourage visits from members, guests, school groups, scouts, families, corporate groups, civic groups and more. The paid staff includes both farming and administrative professionals, supported by a strong cadre of volunteers.

In recognition of the outstanding examples of local architecture, agricultural development and family farming, Gorman Heritage Farm was named to the National Register of Historic Places in August of 2012.

Each year thousands attend our annual Sunflower Festival and Row by Row Dinner. Daily admission is affordable and fun for kids of all ages! Be sure to check out our upcoming classes and programs!
