Ecological Farming & Enterprises

Looking for land with housing?

Wanted: Ecological farmers & entrepreneurs
Farm Village: Neighbourly Farm
Location: near Dornoch, Grey County, Ontario (Applicants must be available for an in-person meeting onsite.)

Neighbourly Farm is a growing community of ecological farmers, craftspersons and food-based entrepreneurs, based on a vision of affordable long-term land access in a farm village setting in Grey County, Ontario.

Residents become co-owners through the partnership that owns the land, similar in some ways to a housing co-op. Each household runs their own independent enterprise. There is relatively little group decision-making, but philosophically aligned neighbours are ready to lend each other tools, equipment or a helping hand when needed.

We are ready to welcome our next household this summer. Here are some enterprise ideas, to give you a sense of scope:

• Butchery
• Fermented foods
• Market gardening
• Beekeeping
• Large-scale compost-making
• Herbalism
• Flowers & small fruit
• Mushroom cultivation
• Baking
• Experiential education
• Other food, ag-related or land-based enterprises… bring us your proposals!

Interested in starting up your own enterprise at Neighbourly? Let’s get the conversation started. Tell us what enterprise(s) you want to pursue, what experience you bring, and other qualities you offer the community.
