Macphail HomesteadThe Friends of the Macphail Homestead are looking at a plan to implement an organic farm on the grounds of the homestead. Sounds like a good idea and hope they are successful.

The Friends of the Macphail Homestead on P.E.I. are developing a plan for an organic farm on the site that would double as a research centre.

Earlier this year the Macphail Homestead, home of Island author and doctor Sir Andrew Macphail, was nearly shut down after financial problems. The province is keeping it open as a historical site for two more years, but after that its future is uncertain.

"This is one area that P.E.I. I think could be doing much more in," said Friends spokesman Harry Baglole of the organic farm plan.
