Farm with Us!
● About
Where Community Comes First
The farm is situated on the Williams Treaty Territory and ancestral territory and lands of the Mississaugas of Scugog Island First Nation. It is 35 acres of open fields, an hour outside of Toronto, where people of all abilities come together to carve out the kind of community that cares for one another through caring for the land and all its inhabitants.
We see possibility in problems, strive for serenity, take chances, dream big and find meaning from a connected community.
Because life should be beautiful,
full of good food, hard work, creativity and memory-making community.

● Day Programs for Adults with Developmental Disabilities
Day Programs
Coming Summer 2027.
Separate to our community farm program (open to everyone and membership is free). Specialized day programs for young adults with developmental disabilities will be offered at Havenhill operated by the not-for-profit Common Digs Community Homestead. 8-week day programs will offer a morning at the farm where participants can gain skills learning how to care for animals, grow their own food from seed to harvest and making meals together. 9:00am-1:00pm. This program is ideal for individuals that benefit from more individualized supports from a specialized support team and small groups of people.
Fees TBC closer to the date.
● Homestead & Respite Retreats
Life at Havenhill
Coming in Fall 2028 - Havenhill will be host to a Homestead for young adults with developmental disabilities operated by Common Digs Community Homestead. We also have dreams of Respite Retreat Cabins for families and friends of all kinds. We blend the joy of meaningful work followed by evenings around the fire sparking reflection, laughter, and a deep sense of belonging.
