Atlantic Grown Seed Showcase

In 2023, Hayes Farm was honoured to be the host of one of three Atlantic Grown Seed Showcase Gardens in partnership with SeedChange and the Bauta Family Initiative on Canadian Seed Security, growing over 44 locally grown seed varieties.

​

This year we will continue to highlight locally stewarded seeds in our Teaching Gardens so we can share with our community the stories of both the seeds and the fine humans who steward them.

​

Here’s a list of this year’s Maritime seed heroes:

Annapolis Seeds

Hope Seeds

Mapple Farm

Pembroke Farm

Rainbow Seeds New Brunswick

Whispering Hill Farm

Yonder Hill Farm

​

Come learn about how growing local seeds supports food sovereignty and climate change adaptation by touring the gardens at one of our Open Farm Days or requesting a visit.
