PEG Farm and Nature Reserve

PEG Farm in the Barbados interior works on regenerative principles, moving cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry through paddocks in sequence so the grazing rebuilds the soil rather than stripping it, with vegetables and orchard alongside. Tours run through the operation and a farm market and cafe sell what the place produces. It sits on land that grew sugar for centuries. The initials stand for Perfection Estate Garden, after the estate the land was part of.

What you'll find

• The rotational grazing - stock moved through paddocks in sequence.
• The mixed livestock - cattle, sheep, pigs and poultry in the same system.
• The market and cafe - the outlet for what the farm produces.
• The former cane land - ground converted from sugar to mixed farming.

When to go

December to May is the dry season. Tours and the market run on set days. The wet season from June makes the paddocks muddy.

Things to know

Tours and the market run on limited days and must be checked. It is a working farm rather than a visitor attraction. Prices at the cafe and market are high.
