PEG Farm and Nature Reserve: A Biodynamic Oasis
Discover sustainable agriculture and natural beauty at PEG Farm and Nature Reserve, a unique biodynamic farm experience in the heart of Barbados.
PEG Farm and Nature Reserve, nestled in the parish of St. Joseph, offers a refreshing escape from the typical Barbadian tourist experience. This 108-acre property, formerly known as Easy Hall Plantation, has been transformed into a biodynamic farm and nature reserve, emphasizing sustainable agriculture, holistic living, and environmental consciousness. Founded in 2013 by Paul Bourne, PEG Farm embodies the principles of People, Environment, and Growth. Visitors can explore diverse landscapes, including orchards, kitchen gardens, and an evergreen forest. Free-range animals like cattle, pigs, and chickens roam freely, contributing to the farm's ecosystem. The Lokono Medicinal Garden showcases the traditional uses of native Bajan plants. Guided tours provide insights into the farm's history, biodynamic farming techniques, and the importance of biodiversity. A highlight is the Farmhouse restaurant, a farm-to-table eatery crafting healthy dishes from ingredients sourced directly from the farm. Visitors can also enjoy workshops, camping, and breathtaking views from Hackleton's Cliff. PEG Farm is more than a tourist attraction; it's a living community promoting a sustainable future for Barbados.
