The Farm
Farmilia is a 50-acre regenerative farmstead nestled in rural Ottawa, Ontario (Canada). Blending thoughtful animal care with ecological plant cultivation, we steward a diverse landscape where livestock, perennials, and wild ecosystems work in harmony. Our cultivated space spans about 2 acres, including raised beds, field crops, fruit and nut orchards, berry patches, a hoop house, and a hops trellis — all interwoven with wildcrafting from the surrounding woodlands.
​
At Farmilia, we focus on growing and foraging high-quality fruits, vegetables, culinary and medicinal herbs, using regenerative and permaculture-inspired practices to nourish both the land and the community — from our local neighbours to markets across Ontario.
Our priorities as farmers are rooted in five principles:
1. Quality Over Quantity
We prioritize growing nutrient-dense, high-quality food — even if that means less of it. Our focus is on excellence and intention, ensuring that those who value real food have access to it.
​
2. Nature First
We put nature at the heart of everything we do — stewarding the land with care, minimizing waste, and building systems that support long-term ecological balance.
​
3. Regeneration
Our practices go beyond sustainability — they aim to restore. From soil-building to biodiversity, every decision we make supports the renewal of ecosystems for future generations.
​
4. Stewardship
We see ourselves as caretakers, not owners. With humility and responsibility, we tend the land, animals, and natural cycles with deep respect and reverence.
​
5. Community
We grow more than food — we grow connection. Whether it's sharing knowledge, supporting neighbors, or feeding families, community is at the root of everything we cultivate.
