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 a commitment to keeping nature and wellness experiences within reach for everyone.
Nature & Wellness Weekends are donation-based. Pay what you can, $10–$20 per person helps us keep these weekends going — cash or Venmo works. No one will ever be turned away for lack of funds.
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 join us for the community potluck, or spend the whole weekend with us!
Overnight camping and lodging are available and must be reserved.*

Come As You Are
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. This is a family-friendly space!
You can drop in for the workshops that call to you, explore our 5 miles of trails, enjoy our beach or take a nap in nature. We’d love for you to spend the whole weekend, and offer primitive camping, RV camping and cozy Airbnb options right here on-site!
We’re honored to host these gatherings on Seneca Ancestral land — land we lovingly steward as a small organic family farm practicing regenerative agriculture.
While you’re here, be sure to shop our Honor System Farm Store for local food grown right here on the land!
