Dr. Ferdinand Herff’s farm is now incorporated into Cibolo Nature Center and Farm, which promotes conservation of the Cibolo Creek and surrounding natural areas. Relax in one of many open areas, explore the many trails, marvel at the dinosaur tracks, and take in all that is Cibolo.

Herff Farm is being reimagined as an agriculture and sustainable living educational center. The Farm hosts a weekly farmer’s market from March through mid-December, and offers special programs on farming, gardening, and sustainability for adults and children.
