Introduction
The Horn Farm Center fosters ecological learning through land stewardship, community partnership, and hands-on experiences. We believe in the power of education. The Horn Farm Center aims to create a community of capable land stewards in Pennsylvania and beyond by showcasing holistic land management practices that offer food, ecological benefits, and economic advantages. Our programs and demonstrations empower people to feed themselves and their communities while restoring local ecosystems. Additionally, we support the development of new agribusinesses and small-scale industries through regenerative agriculture and land stewardship training programs.

Agroforestry System Design
Horn Farm's Agroforestry Program aims to support the development of and increase the adoption of agroforestry practices in Pennsylvania and the temperate Appalachian region. Our training program, which will launch in 2026, will train farmers and gardeners in regionally specific practices in Pennsylvania. The program includes two demonstration spaces: a 10 acre multifunctional riparian buffer and a Demonstration Field that includes a 6-acre multifunctional riparian buffer and a 1/4 acre forest garden. Both spaces serve as living classrooms for training and workshops.
Increased biodiversity, watershed health, soil health, wildlife habitat, agricultural production and demonstration, and education.
