The Wynne Farm Ecological Reserve is located in Viard, a 45 minute hike from the small town of Kenscoff, Haiti.

The Wynne Farm was founded in 1956 by Victor Ainsley Wynne, a civil engineer with degrees from Harvard and MIT. He noticed the ongoing misuse of the land and the inevitable threats of erosion and deforestation in the country and purchased various plots of land from local landowners and created the Wynne Farm which he terraced with a crew of 40 men. There, he propagated indigenous species to conserve Haiti’s rich biodiversity and introduced various fruits, vegetables and trees from numerous parts of the world. Victor Wynne emphasized the need for soil conservation, composting, reforestation, and experimented with agricultural techniques such as terracing.

Since 1994, the farm is dedicated to environmental education so as to promote sustainable development and the healing of planet earth.
