What's in a name?
Nestled on the headwaters of the pigeon river located on the fringes of the Oak Ridges Moraine, I've spent my life living in a special piece of paradise. Our goal is to conserve and promote the permaculture lifestyle and to provide food, knowledge, inspiration and help to the millions of inhabitants in Canada's Golden Horseshoe in a regenerative way. We are working with local land owners to help them create their own piece of low maintenance, high diversity paradise!
"Permaculture is the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems which have the diversity, stability, and resilience of natural ecosystems. It is the harmonious integration of landscape and people — providing their food, energy, shelter, and other material and non-material needs in a sustainable way"(permaculturenews.org).
Our farm and the surrounding farms not only help feed the great lakes and the basin of water that the GTA so heavily relies on, but it provides a sanctuary for all living things, from microorganisms, right up to the biggest domesticated and wild animals in North America. We are a small-scale operation that utilizes our own land, as well as surrounding Oak Ridges Moraine farms to provide the highest quality food and medicine with the lowest impact on the environment. All this while helping local farmers and the community become more efficient and profitable to further achieve community sustainability!
In a time where the importance of individual and environmental health is becoming ever more important, and the cost of farming and living is increasing at breakneck speeds, we are looking to provide services to consumers, landowners and farmers that help promote healthy smart living, and resilient communities from earth to plate.
In order for our society to endure through difficult times, we must work together. By working Smarter and helping people become more self sufficient, we can save money, become healthier and maintain the prosperity of our communities for generations to come. We want to help!

Why Choose Us
Naturally Grown Practices
We steer clear of synthetic chemicals, using organic soil boosters and natural pest management instead. This approach helps protect the rich variety of flora and fauna that sustain a balanced and healthy farm ecosystem.
Strategic Crop Rotation & Diversity
At Oak Ridges Permaculture, we carefully plan our crop rotations to suit the unique climate of the Kawartha region. By rotating different types of crops like legumes, root vegetables, leafy greens, and fruiting plants, we help keep pests and diseases at bay and give the soil a chance to stay healthy and fertile. Growing a variety of crops not only improves the soil but also invites helpful insects that naturally protect our plants — creating a stronger, more balanced farm ecosystem.

Our Movement
Living and working with nature instead of against it, our farm is ever evolving along with our understanding of the environment we live in and the community as a whole. Taking the knowledge of health and nutrition gained from my career as a Paramedic and former Professional Motocross racer, we are aiming to utilize our land and knowledge to help make our community and environment healthier.

Our aim is to promote healthy active, sustainable living to like minded individuals.
Working with Mother Nature
Over the years, we have realized we are located in a little Micro climate. Frost sets in later in the spring and earlier in the fall compared to locations even 5 minutes away. Learning from surroundings and adapting by working with them is how we operate, and how we help others operate.. We want to share the practices and tools that we have adapted with over the years with our community.
