The history of the Friends of the Farm is one of dedicated volunteers working to maintain and enhance the public areas of the Central Experimental Farm. The first meeting was held in May 1988.
Those who worked together to establish the Friends of the Farm believed that such a voluntary organization, concerned about retention of the public areas of The Farm for heritage reasons and public enjoyment, could make a major contribution to The Farm’s future.
Agriculture and Agri-Foods Canada (AAFC) provides office space for the Friends of the Farm in Building 72, adjacent to the Arboretum. We share this building with Arboretum staff and work closely with them, as well as with the Department’s Ornamental Gardens staff, on a variety of projects.
