The Atlantic Food and Horticulture Research Centre is a branch of Agriculture and Agri-Food Canada`s national network of 19 research centres stationed across Canada. The site is situated on 464 acres (188 ha; 0.725 sq mi) in Kentville, located in Nova Scotia`s Annapolis Valley. The Centre`s programs address agricultural challenges throughout the Canadian horticultural and food network, but primarily focus on the regional requirements of Atlantic Canada. On September 2, 2003, the centre`s staff was recognized by Environment Canada for providing a volunteer climate observation station for a continuous 70 years. On January 26, 2011, and in honour of their centennial celebration, the centre was bestowed with an honourary membership to the Nova Scotia Fruit Growers Association in recognition of the centre`s devolopment and support of a sustainable tree fruit industry in Atlantic Canada.
