Ontario’s First Residential Farm Cooperative

Thornbury Acres is a residential farm cooperative that brings your family the resources, land and expertise to grow nutritious food right at home.

Around the world, people are educating themselves and making more informed decisions when it comes to the foods they eat, where they come from and how they are produced. The pandemic spurred a significant increase in home gardening and homesteading as people began growing their own vegetables and became less dependent on the globalized agri-food supply chain and resilient against rising prices at grocery stores.

Values-based developer, Castlepoint Numa, has established a practical and pragmatic vision for an elevated residential farm cooperative. This program leverages the collective actions of a homesteading community as active participants and stewards of the land in supporting on-site production of all of the communities greens, herbs and vegetable needs. The community of growers who work together to steward the land, save on input costs and support each other through structured collaborative action.
