Gorman Heritage Farm Winter Discovery & Farmyard Explorations

About this adventure

Gorman Heritage Farm is a historic 122-acre working farm and educational center in Evendale dedicated to preserving agriculture, heritage, and sustainable farming. On crisp winter days, families can escape the digital screen to experience a genuine farmstead in winter. Children can visit the barnyard to greet farm residents including Belgian draft horses, heritage sheep, curious goats, turkeys, and barn cats. The scenic, wooded hillside trails provide brisk, peaceful winter hikes where children can observe animal tracks in the snow and learn to recognize deciduous trees by their winter bark. When hands get chilly, families can warm up inside the farm's heated Education Barn and visitor center, which features interactive farming exhibits, children's agricultural reading books, and weekend winter homesteading craft workshops.
