Agriculture sustains our future.
History shapes our progress.
our farm
Provost Farm is an agritourism destination nestled in the marshy landscape of New Iberia, Louisiana. On land passed down for generations, we honor our ancestors who cultivated these fields and the agricultural heritage that continues today. Come visit and experience our land, history, and community.
our mission
Our mission is to educate and connect communities through agriculture, historical preservation, and the arts.
our values
At Provost Farm, 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.
