Place Corps at Hawthorne Valley

Place Corps offers regenerative and experiential leadership and learning programs at Hawthorne Valley Farm, a diversified, 900-acre Demeter certified 650A Biodynamic® farm located in Ghent, NY, the ancestral lands of the Mohican.

Throughout the year, Place Corps actively engages with the urban and rural landscapes of the Hudson Valley as a living institute.  Residents can expect to hike the mountains, wade and row the rivers, forage the forests, and walk the city streets.
