The family farm is more than a business, it is a lifestyle- it is an ideal that is worth preserving.

The American Center for Farming Heritage is dedicated to sharing the stories of the American Farm Family, educating the next generation on where our food comes from, and through a combination of living and learning, shaping the next generation of farming.

Shape through exhibition.

Preserve through education.

We envision the future of Hopkins farm as a multifacest family friendly experience for generations to enjoy. We are part of the 5th generation of Hopkins Farmers with a determination to preserve land and educate our future generations with a stimulating hands-on learning center. This will be a world class destination experience for travelers, locals, young, old, and everywhere in between.

We believe that the American Center for Farming Heritage will light a spark in countless souls to find their own inner farmer.
