Atlantic Food and Horticulture Research Centre

The Atlantic Food and Horticulture Research Centre extends across 464 acres, featuring laboratories, experimental fields, and specialized storage facilities for agricultural studies.

Founded in 1911 at the request of Nova Scotia Fruit Growers Association, the center initially focused on expanding apple production to meet England's market demand.

The center maintains regular connections with local farmers, agricultural organizations, and scientific institutions through workshops, demonstrations, and collaborative research programs.

Researchers at the facility conduct experiments on crop management, pest control, and fruit varieties, providing essential data for agricultural development in Atlantic Canada.

The center introduced one of North America's first atmospherically controlled storage facilities in 1939, revolutionizing produce preservation methods.
