About Whole Village
Whole Village is a community with a commitment to sustainability and land stewardship seeking to live together in harmony with each other and with the natural habitat since 1995.

This 191 acre farm features a hardwood forest (9 acres), a provincially significant wetland (27 acres), pasture land, and fertile crop land. The condition of the soil is mostly sandy loam with hills that are part of the Orangeville Moraine protected by the designation of Area of Natural and Scientific Interest (ANSI). This diverse, beautiful property is also protected by a conservation easement with the Escarpment Biosphere Conservancy. Credit Valley Conservation has documented the natural life and created a conservation plan. Their assistance and the help from the Ontario Soil and Crop Improvement Association have been instrumental in developing the farm in an ecological manner. They also have an Environmental Farm Plan which guides improvements in a way that protects the land and its features.

You can learn how this eco-village first started and how it's organized. See how we can adopt a more sustainable lifestyle, so to protect our environment by reducing our impact on the natural habitat.
