Help Horn Farm Rebuild This Year - The Final Stretch!
After three long years, the Horn Farm Center has reached a milestone: Our generous community has raised nearly $1.2 million to repair and transform our farmhouse into an education center. Construction is about to begin!!
Lightning struck the farmhouse in October 2021, damaging it by fire and rendering it completely unusable. Since then, it's been amazing to watch all the love people have poured into the Horn Farm Center. To everyone who has been a part of the journey—THANK YOU!
We are so close to our final goal - our next milestone is to raise the funds we need to achieve our occupancy permit and open the building for daily use. These final phases will transform the restored building into a community hub for learning and exploration.
We need your help to open the doors of our new learning center by the end of 2025!
The Final Milestones We Need to Reach:
✔ Phase 1: Fire Recovery & Design - $316,000 [Complete!]
✔ Phase 2: Construction - $942,000 [Complete!]
▢ Phase 3: Occupancy - $65,000
Help us purchase a new water treatment system, install solar, and pass inspection for occupancy.
▢ Phase 4: Outfitting for Operations & Learning - $50,000
Transform the farmhouse from a building to a fully-equipped learning center. We need appliances, office furniture, classroom and AV equipment to make the space functional for classes and workshops.
▢ Phase 5: Site Work & Beautification - $85,000
Landscaping, including a rain garden and retainer wall, will make the space welcoming and beautiful for visitors. A rain catchment system will help to conserve our water resources for our community gardens and new signs will enhance on-site learning.
Total Raised So Far: $1.2 Million
Total Remaining Costs: $200,000
How You Can Help:

Increase Your Contribution for a Naming Opportunity – Leave a lasting legacy! From $1,000 wall plaques to naming rights for major contributions, your generosity will be honored in the new education center.
Make an In-Kind Donation – Not all gifts have to be monetary. We need kitchen appliances, office equipment, and furnishings to make this space fully functional. If you can donate equipment or materials, we’d love to hear from you!
Connect Us – If you know a business or organization that makes charitable donations or sponsorships, please introduce us!
Invite Others to Participate – Help spread the word! Challenge three friends to make a contribution, big or small. Every donation brings us closer to the finish line.
The finish line is in sight—but we can’t cross it without you. Let’s raise the roof on the Horn Farm Center and transform the new building into a hub for education, sustainability, and community for generations to come.
