September 16 - Until Trees Run Out. 

Horne Creek Farm is excited to announce that we will be holding our "Fantastical World of Fairy Tales and Houses" workshop on Saturday, August 28 from 10:30 am to 1:00 pm. Bring your child out to the site to listen to some of the 1900-era’s most beloved fairy tales. Then, each child’s imagination can take wing as they make their own fairy house to take home with them. 

Fee is $25.00. This fee also includes a variety of fairy snacks to enjoy.

Women of the early 20th century worked equally as hard as their husbands on their family farms. Come and learn about the skills they had to employ to run a successful household and farm. You’ll leave at the end of the tour with a great respect for them and the lives they led.

Join us for our book launch for Bountiful Red Acres, a new book from the NC Office of Archives and History and the NC African American Heritage Commission, both parts of the North Carolina Department of Natural and Cultural Resources.
