HAYES FARM

Group Visits

Throughout the growing season we host a wide array of groups, including K-12 school classes, university students, Scouts and Girl Guide troops, community organizations and workplaces, and members of the Multicultural Association of Fredericton, among others. 

Using our Teaching Gardens as the classroom, each group’s experience is tailored to ensure that participants not only gain practical skills but also leave with knowledge relevant to their specific interests, whether it’s understanding the basics of gardening, exploring advanced agricultural techniques, or learning about the cultural significance of food. 

These visits are all offered on a pay-what-you-can basis to ensure everyone has an opportunity to participate in our local food system.

Tours will be adjusted depending on the time of year and what is active on-farm at the time.  

We’re always open to co-creating a series of visits to best support your group’s needs.​ Send us an email to book your tour: carol@nbchg.org

Important Information

  • We will need at least 1 week notice to prepare for your visit. 
  • Dogs must be kept on a leash and with their owner at all times
  • At this time, we do not have the capacity to accommodate walk-in tours, anyone who has not made a tour booking will be asked to make one and return another day. 
  • Please park on the street
  • The ground around our fields is very uneven, there are parts of the farm that are more accessible than others. We invite you to reach out in advance if you have mobility concerns so that we can help you have a safe and enjoyable tour. 
  • We have poultry on site – this may be very important for poultry farmers taking bio-control measures to prevent the spread of avian influenza.
  • We provide education and engagement, but we are not able to provide childcare. Please make sure you have enough adults in your group to supervise minors. 
  • Make sure to let your tour guide know in advance if participants have any serious allergies or require accommodations. 
  • Washroom on-site is a composting toilet, hand washing can be done at outdoor sinks as well. At this time, unfortunately our washrooms are not accessible. We are working on improving our washroom facilities.

You Can Feed Our Growth

NBCHG is funded through a combination of grants, community garden memberships and individual donations. 

While we have had many wonderful, repeat funders, we cannot guarantee what our funding stream will be from one year to the next. We are asking for the community’s continued help in supporting our mission to grow food, grow minds and grow community.

If you are in a position to contribute financially, please consider a monthly or annual donation to help us shift the food sovereignty paradigm from scarcity to abundance.

You contribution helps us maintain:

  • A pay-what-you-can community teaching farm model to allow everyone to participate in our local food system
  • A living wage for our experienced staff, and fair compensation to bring knowledge keepers and experts in as guest educators
  • Yearly supplies, equipment, and maintenance of farm and garden infrastructure
