Gorman Heritage Farm Autumn Harvest & Family Thanksgiving Farm Walks

About this adventure

Nestled in Evendale across 122 pastoral acres, Gorman Heritage Farm invites families to celebrate late autumn and Thanksgiving season amidst historic barnyards, rolling pastures, and forested nature trails. A preserved working educational farm founded in the 1830s, Gorman Heritage Farm provides children with hands-on agricultural connections. During Thanksgiving week, families can stroll along the scenic farm loop to visit heritage-breed turkeys, friendly sheep, goats, draft horses, and bustling chicken coops. Farm educators share seasonal stories about colonial harvest practices, heirloom crops, and farm biodiversity. The farm stand offers freshly harvested winter squash, artisanal honey, and apple cider.
