Draco Hill Nature Farm 2025 Calendar

Guests who take a full guided farm tour first are invited to visit unsupervised to hike, birdwatch, forage and take photos.

Sign yourself or a group up for bonfires, picking fruit in the orchards or watching a prairie burn. Chainsaw safety, mushrooming, birdwatching – it’s all going to happen here at Draco Hill in 2025 thanks to our many friends!
