Acadia Farm closed for the season

The Acadia Community Farm will remain closed for the 2020 season. Acadia University is aware of the importance of the Acadia Farm to the campus and Wolfville communities and regrets that this closure is necessary.

Please visit the Acadia Covid-19 website for further information on operational changes and fall planning.
