We provide educational services to thousands of school-aged children through our field trips and summer camp; and to adults and families with our workshops on such varied topics as beekeeping, flower arranging, and composting.Gorman Heritage Farm promotes: * Hands-on education for people of all ages, particularly local students, about agriculture, local habitats and the value of manual labor (through volunteering, internships and community service) as and essential pillar of American culture * The preservation of a distinct regional identity and local traditions, specifically the history of Gorman Farm and the values of the Gorman family that helped it flourish * An understanding of modern food systems and how sustainable agriculture, the consumption of locally grown food and responsible land use can support a healthy society * The entrepreneurial spirit that seeks new avenues for self-sustaining business opportunities * Community building that highlights the essential connections between people, land and meaningful labor.
