The Heron Farm & Event Center

We envision a world where people are nourished by land and community.

Grounded in the land we steward, The Heron’s farm and events support community well-being and a deeper connection to nature, the arts, and each other. 

2024 Total Solar Eclipse Celebration

On April 8th, 2024, witness an extraordinary celestial event as day turns to night during a total solar eclipse at The Heron Campground and PFM Event Center in Sherman, NY.  Join us at our rural dark sky location in the path of totality for this rare celestial event, not seen in our area since 1925 and not returning until 2144. 

The Heron’s location offers a backdrop of natural beauty and open skies, where we will enjoy a dance party with the Sun King Warriors, drumming, chanting  and yoga sessions, a selection of food trucks and plenty for comradery. Free solar viewing glasses will be available for all. For a complete experience, camp under the stars for one night or more.
