  • Dvoor Farm Rehabilitation

    DVOOR FARM – A CENTER FOR INSPIRATION, EDUCATION, AND CONNECTION Since taking title to the Dvoor Farm in 1999, the Hunterdon Land Trust (HLT) has worked toward fulfilling the property’s potential as a community resource. This historic treasure with its iconic barns and late 18th-century farmhouse, became the organization’s headquarters in late 2010. Now HLT is writing a new chapter in the Dvoor Farm’s story. In the summer of 2024, we completed the first phase of a project to transform the Farm’s historic Bank Barn into a state-of-the-art event space. When complete, the Bank Barn complex will be able to accommodate 250 to 300 guests, making it one of the largest indoor venues in the area. This project will not only enhance the Dvoor Farm as a regional destination but provide a stable source of revenue for HLT and bring downstream economic benefits to the surrounding community. As we prepare to launch Phase II, we invite you to join us. With your support, we can transform the Dvoor Farm into all it can and should be — a revitalized community resource reimagined for the 21st century.
