 WELCOME 
The Abbey Gardens Community Trust is a not-for-profit organization focused on a community-based effort to reduce Haliburton’s carbon footprint and to foster community-based action research and demonstration projects designed to increase the ecological and cultural viability of the community and the health and well being of its residents.
We do this by actively participating in the farmers’ market in Carnarvon, selling vegetables that are freshly grown in our market garden, and by experimenting with greenhouse production. In addition to vegetables and flowers, Abbey Gardens grows free-range chickens that are fed organically and are available for purchase. Click here to see when chickens are available for purchase.

Gardening Methods
Abbey Gardens practices organic farming principles, such as crop rotation, composting, and biological pest control to keep soil fresh and full of nutrients, allowing for increased productivity, and healthier plants.
Companion planting is an important part of Abbey Gardens, which we use to keep pests under control, and to enhance the quality of our produce. While we are not certified organic, we promote and follow organic gardening principles and practices, ensuring that our garden is chemical free.
