| On July 30, 1972, a group of pioneering educators, farmers, and artisans took a courageous step into an uncertain future when they purchased the Curtis Vincent Farm in Harlemville, New York. This deed was the culmination of a seven-year process that began in response to experiencing firsthand the immediate challenges of the loss of small family farms and the threat to childhood development posed by an increasingly materialistic and mechanistic prevailing world view. The idea was to buy a farm and offer children from urban centers a hands-on experience of what it means to be stewards of the land. That autumn, the first class of visiting students from the Rudolf Steiner School in New York City came up to Harlemville and set to work transforming the main farm house into a bunkhouse. Many of our local neighbors who were here to witness this nascent initiative still refer to Hawthorne Valley as “the farm school.” |
