We are learning, teaching, gathering, and having fun! We are here for the future.

Our Mission

Our mission is to teach agriculture appreciation, outdoor education, cultural connections, and the wise use of natural resources.

Your gift now,
supports the future

No other program in our region provides Prairie Loft’s blend of agriculture awareness and experiential outdoor education. Thanks to support from people like you, Prairie Loft is becoming a vital place that shines as a dynamic example among nonprofits.

At Prairie Loft, we are cultivating a deeper understanding of where we live. We are working to help enhance our community by offering unique and exceptional education programs that connect people, food, and the land.  

In addition to earned revenue from Prairie Loft activities, we rely on donations to help provide exceptional education programming for the community. We are grateful to donors who offer in-kind services, gifts of stock, grain donations or monetary gifts. Please help us build a place to teach and inspire for generations to come. Thank you SO MUCH for your support!

    -Prairie Loft Donor

  • "The volunteering opportunity made me feel more connected to not only the Prairie Loft community, but also the community of Hastings. Being a first year student here, coming from a larger city, it has been difficult for me to adjust to the smaller setting that Hastings has to offer, but this experience allowed me to 'love where I live.'”

    -Hastings College Student

  • “Prairie Loft is an amazing place for our children and family! We are so lucky to have Prairie Loft in our community. It’s such a blessing.”
