Prairie Loft

Center for Outdoor and Agricultural Learning

 

Prairie Loft is a nonprofit organization whose mission is to teach agriculture appreciation,

outdoor education, cultural traditions, and the wise use of natural resources.

People

We are staff, volunteers, friends, and partners, cultivating community among people who value the importance of:

    healthy natural systems

    intelligent use of resources

    diverse approaches to food production

    food for the masses & food for the family

    learning from our history & teaching for our future

    community connections and collaboration    

Place

The beautiful barns on site were once part of a working farm that fed more than a thousand people. The eight acres of natural area are rich with agricultural heritage. Prairie Loft Center is located just west of Hastings, Nebraska. See map.

Program

Prairie Loft began offering programs for all ages in 2007.

Current activities include workshops, presentations,

cultural events, facility rental, and community gatherings.
