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.
We are the home of The Great Blue Heron Music Festival, Green Heron Growers, and The Heron Campground.
THE FINAL PUSH TO THE FIRST FLUSH!
Matching Fund Campaign
We’re in the final stretch of building a permanent bathhouse at The Heron — with real flush toilets, warm showers, and a space built for the people who make this land feel like home.
After 8+ years of dreaming and building together, we’re almost there. Our goal is to have it ready for Heron May Day and the Great Blue Heron Music Festival 2026 — just in time for the Happiest Heron yet.
Right now, every donation is matched dollar-for-dollar up to $50,000.
Let’s cross the finish line TOGETHER!
