Beginning at 6:30, after the business meeting, attendees will have the opportunity to tour the Farm Museum which is a hidden treasure!! The farm was an active dairy farm, MacClan Farm, until 1985. The barn gallery showcases the farm's history as well as equipment from a number of local Hebron and Salem farms. A highlight of the museum is the horse-drawn sled and massive saws for harvesting ice on nearby Barkley's Lake. There are fanning mills, a dog-powered treadmill, early horse drawn plows, and seeders. The collection includes many hand tools and farm implements. Especially interesting is a back-to-back rocking chair for two. The collection celebrates the generations who worked the land.
Gardenworks is a farm-based business located in a renovated dairy barn with a retail marketplace featuring farm-fresh foods, local handcrafts and a wide range of plants for home gardens. In spring, the greenhouse is filled with flowers, herbs and vegetable plants. And, in summer customers may pick blueberries, farm grown vegetables and enjoy the weekend café. The fall season offers u-pick raspberries, mounds of pumpkins, gourds and dried flowers. During the holiday season, the Gardenworks Barn is brimming with fresh wreaths, trees and trimmings along with specialty foods and quality local handcrafts.
Meg and Rob Southerland returned to the farm in 1990 after Meg had been a horticultural extension agent and Rob was a professor of Landscape Architecture at the University of Kentucky. Since opening Gardenworks, they have welcomed the community for workshops, events to share gardening ideas , the farm story and history.
Please join the Hebron Preservation Society for this interesting and informative evening. The event is free and open to the public. Donations are gladly accepted.
