Wynne Farm

What Wynne Farm does

Wynne Farm Ecological Reserve (legally Fondation Wynne pour l'Environnement) is a Haiti-based non-profit ecological reserve operating a 70-acre (28-hectare) conservation site in the mountains of Kenscoff at approximately 6,000 ft altitude. Founded in 1956 by civil engineer Victor Ainsley Wynne (Harvard, MIT) and dedicated to public environmental education since 1994, the reserve protects a vital water source flowing from the Kenscoff mountains to the greater Port-au-Prince area and operates as a model for agro-forestry, reforestation, and sustainable organic farming in Haiti.

The core product is an in-person nature and education experience: ecological tours, a petting farm (alpacas, goats, rabbits, horses, dogs, cats, chickens, donkeys), bird watching, a photography exposition by Haitian photographer Rene Durocher, and activities including yoga and horseback riding (the latter two currently unavailable). Educational programs serve schools, agronomy students, and local farmers, while group bookings support team-building workshops, retreats, and seminars. The reserve operates Tuesday through Sunday, 10am-4pm, with no technology platform or software products. Underlying operations rest on terraced land, decades of indigenous-species propagation, and a small operational team.

Wynne Farm generates revenue from five streams: visitor entrance fees (HTG 250-1000 depending on day and age), an annual membership program offering free entrance and 10-50% discounts, online donations accepted globally via card/bank/wire/check, horticultural farm yields, and fees from educational programs and seminars. Marketing is minimal — primarily the website, a phone line (+509 4242-3333), and word-of-mouth from approximately 15,000 annual visitors. The organization is registered with the Municipality of Kenscoff (Register 00279-p73) and serves students, farmers, general visitors, local Kenscoff residents (50% discount), and corporate/organization groups across Haiti and international donors.
