Nature & Wellness Weekends

at the heron

Take a deep breath… you’re on Heron Time.

Once a month, we open the land for a family-friendly weekend dedicated to nature, wellness, and community — open and accessible to all, with no cost to participate.

These gatherings invite you to slow down, connect, and experience the beauty of The Heron in a more intimate way.

Come for the workshops that interest you or stay the whole weekend — there’s always something new to experience.

Come As You Are

There’s no tickets required, no pressure,  just come out, breathe some fresh air, and enjoy the moment.

You can spend the day exploring and joining workshops that speak to you, or stay the whole weekend with primitive or RV camping and cozy Airbnb options right here on the farm.

Our Nature & Wellness Weekends are about slowing down and remembering what really matters. Come on your own or bring friends and family for a peaceful, playful weekend out in nature.

We’re honored to host these gatherings on ancestral Seneca land — land we lovingly steward as a small family farm practicing regenerative agriculture and organic farming. While you’re here, be sure to shop our Honor System Farm Store for local food grown right here on the land.
