Due to Covid-19 we have been given the directive from Fredericton that MacDonald Farm Heritage Site is closed! I realize that our season hasnt started yet but there are many people who walk on our site even when we are not open! So this means our site is closed to all foot traffic as well! Signs will be posted today and we ask that everyone respect the rules laid out by the Province!! At this point we are unsure what lies ahead for the 2020 season but as I recieve information from Fredericton I will share it here! Please share this information! Stay healthy everyone
