Did you know that the Harrington Research Farm has more than 600 acres of farmland and a large greenhouse dedicated to year-round agriculture research on sustainable cropping systems?
The farm has hundreds of small plots dedicated to research on potato and cereal varieties best suited for the Maritimes. Our research aims to manage weeds, insects and diseases, as well as maintain soil health and water quality, with the objective to support agricultural producers across Canada.
