O’ Brien Farm Foundation

O’Brien Farm is a window into the history of a traditional Irish-Newfoundland farm. An oasis of tranquility in the middle of the city, the farm’s accessible community gardens, forest trails and quiet garden spaces will appeal to visitors of all ages and skill levels. This 31 acre farm blends history, heritage, agriculture and environmental stewardship. The staff and volunteers are ready to guide the visitors on a tour through a true hidden gem in St. John’s.
