The Heron Farm & Event Center
We envision a world where people are nourished by land and community.
Grounded in the land we steward, The Heron’s farm and events support community well-being and a deeper connection to nature, the arts, and each other.
We are the home of The Great Blue Heron Music Festival, Green Heron Growers, and The Heron Campground.

What is the progress on the bathhouse?
The new bathhouse is really taking shape. Exterior siding is on, windows and doors are installed, electric is complete and inspected, radiant floor heat is in, and plumbing work will continue this winter. Even through snow and cold, construction has kept moving forward…
Thanks to early support — including brick purchases and generous community contributions — we’ve been able to reach this stage. We are now in the final stretch, and we do not yet have all the funds needed to finish. Steve and Julie are continuing the project largely out of pocket, trusting the support of the community to help carry it across the finish line.
Our goal is to complete the bathhouse in time for the 2026 season, bringing flush toilets and a fully finished, comfortable space to better serve campers, guests, and the wider Heron community.
Every donation makes a difference and helps turn this long-held dream into reality.
Can we interest you in a BATHHOUSE Naming Opportunity?
Each Shower will cost $5000 and that is the amount for this naming opportunity.
The bathhouse will have 6 showers inside!
We will be FOREVER thankful and display a plaque that recognizes your contribution. THANK YOU!!!!
