The eco village. the eco village is a small community where you will learn a lot about permaculture but also coexistence. You will meet people from many corners of the planet, with different ways of life and different points of view, but with a common denominator, living in community and respect. I thank Brandy and her family for the opportunity and the learning; without a doubt, it was a great experience.

What an amazing woman you are Andrea! Your brilliance and bravery to take an adventure has been inspiring and we are so grateful that you chose us to be with while you have been in Canada. Your smile and all the care you put into all you do speaks a million words of who you are. And now you have brought much to the lands of OUR Ecovillage but also the hearts of all of us who had the treat to live with you. OUR loss is that we did not spend some time designing something more with you, perhaps - and yet you put your hands to so many projects while you are here that your design skills are felt in an everlasting way even after just these few months. We hope that you will return to check in on us one day.and that life gives you everything you so richly deserve in the meantime :)

Shavi is an outstanding human being! What a big hearted, inspiring, and caring young man. You have had your hand in so many projects across OUR Ecovillage's land-based learning farm...and made so much change! From everything you built, your 'dragon building' and beautiful artwork/painting, to soooo much love in the kitchen, and tons of fun to adventure with as well! You have changed us all Shavi and you are forever in OUR hearts and are part of our family now for sure. 6 months has been a great gift to spend with you.....and we are so very hopeful to see you again one day as your life unfolds and perhaps brings you back OUR way. All our highest wishes for love, laughter and family is sent with you as you go dear friend!

Our tasks are about taking care of animals harvesting vegetables working in the garden cobing and building

THANK YOU for the amazing time, Brandy, Trent, and the whole team! It was a wonderful experience—not just the work, but also the personal connections, the great conversations, and the opportunities for self-reflection. I was able to take on responsibility, received support in challenging situations, and the sense of community was amazing! I learned a lot about permaculture in various aspects like gardening, construction, and waste/compost management, as well as about the Indigenous people of the area. I'm already looking forward to my next visit ant to see al of you again! Huy ch q'u 🙌

There aren't enough words to express how thankful I am for the many life-changing experiences I had at the eco village. Big thank you to Trent, Freya, Brandy and the entire eco-team for all of their hard work and care in making my stay as memorable as it is. Overall, I highly recommend this place to anyone willing to work hard, get dirty, have a sincere interest in permaculture, learn about indigenous principles, be respectful of diverse ideologies, be productive, be helpful in the kitchen, maintain a positive attitude, and contribute their talents for the wellbeing of this unique community.

Wow what an experience, so grateful to Brandy and Trent for hosting me! It's an amazing site with so many animals and fun things to do. I learnt so much about permaculture and even managed to help build a cob wall. I mostly helped out in the garden. Thanks so much for all the memories, being part of a lovely community and to Freya for her great cooking. Miss you guys! X

It totally exceeded my expectations, I found a peaceful place with an atmosphere of respect, a culture attentive to nature and that knows how to take advantage of resources! Everyone in the community has impressive stories and are admirable people, an experience where you will learn about permaculture and sustainability!!

My partner and I spent a month at the eco village and it exceeded my expectations at every turn. I learned a lot about living sustainably, building, permaculture and living in an intentional community, just to mention a few. The core community is super welcoming and friendly with lots of other people coming and going making each day different and never a dull moment. The place itself is beautiful and I look forward to coming back soon. Highly recommend this place!!

Christian has been a total delight in OUR team! Jumping in eventually with both feet - he can be trusted to take leadership with organizing, keeping track of what is needed, cooking outrageously great meals....and having the best sense of humour in the process. What great fun this couple is and such a positive impact with everything they put their hand to! Highest recommendations for them both :)

Myself and my partner spent a month staying at the eco village, it was our first stop in Canada and we are so glad it was. The community is so welcoming and we felt settled very quickly. The village is really well organised with everyone playing their role in keeping things going. We learnt so much throughout our stay including how to live more sustainably, permaculture, building, animal care and living within a community. Everyday was different and tasks ranged from helping with school trips to working in the kitchen and on the farm. We had the best time and are hoping to return very soon!

What an outstanding visit and secretly perhaps one of OUR most favorite couples in the last few years! Tabitha is so engaging,detailer, optimistic and has a great sense of humour to meet almost any situation that comes along ~
With a great spirit towards building positive environments...she has everyone smiling and can shift the energy on a team in such helpful ways. Additionally, she has mad skills with whatever she puts her hands to seemingly and an interest to learn whatever is new. Top-notch recommendation for all others who are so lucky as to have this great couple jump in with you, your family and/or your project!

so grateful to have met and worked with you both :)

The eco village. the eco village is a special, wonderful place. Nowhere have I seen somewhere with this level of commitment to a better future. The place and the team feel grounding in the reality of our changing world : sustainability, community and peacemaking feel at the heart of every day spent on site. There is wonderful care and attention put into the space. It felt wonderful to learn about decisionmaking, fluid teamwork, management of unexpected situations, natural building, permaculture, animal husbandry, education and life in general during my stay. Would 100% recommend to eco minded adventurers!
