Our Urban Farm
The Urban Farm Museum Society of Spryfield (UFMSS) is a registered non-profit , founded in 1996 and operates under the guidance of a volunteer Board of Directors.
Our Quilt
In 1997 the quilt was designed to encompass all our dreams for an Urban Farm in Spryfield.
Get Involved
The Urban Farm depends on volunteers to maintain the organization, the site, and the programs. People of all ages from Spryfield, surrounding communities, and the Halifax peninsula, have helped at the Urban Farm over the past twenty years. We welcome all volunteers. You can bring your knowledge and experience, and you can learn new skills and make new friends.
Our History
In 1822, William Kidston, Junior, purchased the 1000 acre farm from the George McIntosh estate and called it Thornhill.
