who we are
Provost Farm Heritage Center & Community Garden is rooted in agritourism, education, and agricultural heritage. Our programming hub is nestled within the rural landscape of New Iberia, Louisiana, on the privately owned farm of the Provost family. On land passed down through generations, PFHCCG honors the ancestors who cultivated these fields while preserving, sharing, and carrying forward the agricultural traditions that continue to shape our community today.
our mission
Our mission is to educate and connect communities through agriculture, history, and the arts.
our values
At Provost Farm Heritage Center and Community Garden, we value the hard work of those who came before us, the traditions of our communities, and the enduring role of agriculture in shaping society. We believe in fairness and opportunity for every person, responsible stewardship of the land, and strong communities. We recognize that agriculture, history, and the arts are deeply connected. Together, they tell the story of who we are, where we come from, and what we pass on to future generations.
