O'Brien Farm Foundation

O'Brien Farm Foundation A non-profit organization responsible for the preservation and growth of the historic O'Brien Farm John's. There is so much more to share.

O'Brien Farm will be a wonderful experience where children, families and seniors will have the opportunity to learn about the farming culture of old; sustainable food growth and cultivation; and the Newfoundland - Irish heritage. Our goal is to rediscover the original beauty and bounty of this 37-acre farmland right in the heart of St. Aly O'Brien wanted his family's farm to bring a community together, and with your help we will do just that. People will learn how we still can live off the land and enjoy the simple pleasures of storytelling and song. The family home, named Thimble Cottage will serve as an educational hub where people will share stories, songs and a wealth of knowledge rich in culture! The 7 meadows will become a home for Newfoundland ponies, beautifully landscaped green spaces and more gardens. Walking trails will wind through the land and everyone will be welcome to join the O'Brien Farm Foundation on a wonderful journey into the past! The only way to truly grasp the beauty and potential of this Farm is to visit and hear the stories of the O'Brien Family and those who now care for the land! There is a lot of work to do but it will be so worth it to bring this farmland back to the community. For more information please visit The O'Brien Farm Foundation and walk through the wonderful property! Our new website will be up and running in the coming weeks where we will update you on plans and progress!
