Hayes Farm

Hayes Farm is a community teaching farm in Fredericton. We aim to inspire & mobilize New Brunswickers Hayes Farm is on traditional Wolastoqey territory.

Hayes Farm is a community-led organization that aims to inspire and mobilize New Brunswickers toward a resilient and thriving food system by providing them with the skills, expertise and support to practice human-scale regenerative agriculture. Our model addresses local food security, financial responsibility, personal and spiritual fulfillment for individuals and food production in the local comm

unity. We do this in the spirit of honouring Indigenous culture and food ways, integrative principles of land-based learning, and reconnection. In 1725, the Wolastoqiyik (Maliseet), Mi’kmaq, and Peskotomuhkati (Passamaquoddy) signed the first of the Peace and Friendship Treaties with the British Crown, where land was neither ceded nor surrendered. The Treaties of Peace and Friendship were a mutual promise to a commitment of respect and peace between nations and their generations to come.

As the future generations and current beneficiaries of these treaties, it is now our responsibility to live in peace and friendship with one another as sovereign nations, as well as with our Mother Earth. Everything we do at Hayes Farm is human-scale, regenerative, and relationship-based.

 Full-time 18-week Regenerative Farming Certificate program running from April – August
 Human-scale operations mean no large, noisy, or polluting equipment
 Annual and perennial food production
 Graduating interns are ready to advocate for socially- and environmentally-aware agriculture practices and support local food sovereignty
 Interns participate directly in on-farm production and their learning is supported with theoretical learning and community discussion

Is your compost stinking up the neighbourhood?

Here’s how we prevent our compost from taking on an unpleasant odour.

First we take out the different layers of compost.

The top greens and slightly composted lower layers are taken out and we flip them.

Top layers become the bottom and the bottom goes up.

We add wood chips and water as needed throughout the flipping process.

We are left with a healthy compost ready to heat up and without the unwanted sour smell.

Lastly, take aim. (We’re still working on ours) 🎯
