New Tiny Home Village Site!














Welcome to our new Tiny Home Village! After months of debate, we have settled on a new site. This one has a more country feel, but we are blessed to have 3 lovely ponds, and great swimming. The site is a 100 acre working farm with Highland Cattle, chickens that lay eggs, and a market garden. We use a corner of the property. The farmer practices Holistic Management and moves the cattle around to various hay fields using electric fences. The farm is located just 1.5 hours from Toronto and is just south of Lindsay, a few minutes off Highway 35.

We have a vision of many Tiny Homes, as well as many canvas "Glamping Tents", with shared communal areas. We have mobilized quickly, and already have a shared kitchen tent, a dining room tent, and a fire pit. There is even a hot propane shower! We are using a porta potty for this summer, and anticipate switching to an outhouse using a "Humanure" system by the end of the summer. There is fabulous shade in the nearby cedar trees, and plenty of places to sit and watch the gorgeous sunrises and sunsets.

We're looking for the right people to join our group, and help us build infrastructure like a dock for the pond, a sturdier kitchen tent, and electricity for all the sleeping sites. There is an open house over the August long weekend (July 31-August 3), and if you'd like to visit, or even stay the night, please bring your own sleeping tent and supplies, as well as food for yourself or to share with the group. Please email to RSVP to lindafhochstetler@gmail.com to get a map and more details.
