The Cole Harbour Heritage Farm Museum is a community museum dedicated to preserving and interpreting Cole Harbour's agricultural past, and to developing understanding of plants, animals and farming today. The Cole Harbour Heritage Farm seeks to actively involve the public in awareness and protection of our natural and cultural resources and foster appreciation and respect for community - past, present, and future. It is owned and operated by the Cole Harbour Rural Heritage Society, a registered charity which relies heavily on community support, volunteers and donations. Admission is by donation so plan to come often and reconnect with your rural roots!
We are now CLOSED for the 2021 season! Thank you to everyone who made this year a wonderful and successful one. We'll see you all in May 2022!
Our Pop-Up Market has ended for the season!
Thank you to everyone who made our market so wonderful! To our fabulous vendors, Skeldale Farm; Snails Pace Gardens; At My Home Bakery; and Mary Ann LaPierre, and of course, to our fantastic visitors, who came every week! We hope everyone has a great winter, and we’ll see you all next year!
2020 Student-Created Promotional Video – 2020 may have meant reduced operations for the Farm Museum but it definitely did not hamper the enthusiasm and inspiration of staff. In fact, an incredible team of young people, our 2020 summer students, took it upon themselves to create this touching promotional video for the site. Thank you to actors Makayla, Andrea, Krystalli and Conor and to video creator, writer and editor, Hermione.
