Heritage Farm

The Heritage Farm is currently closed for construction of a major update

Located just northeast of the conservatories, you'll find a large kitchen garden, crops in the field, an orchard, vineyard, and berry bushes surrounding an adobe farmhouse. Rug making, quilting, and other demonstrations take place in the farmhouse and a cider press in the wooden barn turns much of the fall apple harvest into cider. The farm houses an American paint horse, Nigerian dwarf goats, Navajo-Churro sheep, Dominique chickens, and more! During the winter months, early morning visitors might catch a glimpse of sandhill cranes feeding in the fields.

Programs for this year-round working farm include interpretive presentations, hands-on demonstrations, and farm activities.

Entry to the Heritage Farm is included with regular Botanic Garden/Aquarium admission.
