Prairie Loft brings people together through ideas and experiences that they cannot find anywhere else. Farm-based experiential education means muddy hands and a-ha moments. It means chasing butterflies and calling cows, sharing stories and planting seeds.
Community encouragement for the work we do feeds our passion for Prairie Loft’s mission. We are grounded in history and heritage as we teach and inspire future generations in ways that are inclusive, active, and meaningful.
We are proud to work with the Hastings Community Foundation staff, board, and donors who help us plant the seeds for amazing programs for all ages. Since 2008, HCF has provided grants and donor advised gifts for our capital improvements and our growing education program. Encouragement from the Hastings Community Foundation has provided us with the means to expand popular education programs and try new ideas that are building a place to teach and inspire for generations to come.
