Corporate Program Days at Whole Village
Are you looking to get your team out of the office for fun and meaningful activities?
Just an hour north of Toronto, Whole Village is one of the oldest cooperative farming eco-villages in Canada practising permaculture principles to grow food and to mitigate the impacts of climate change.
We have organic gardens, food forests and orchards that produce bountiful and delicious produce. Your group is welcome to come work and learn with us as we:
- learn and experience a multitude of ways we can make a difference to the planet,
- grow local, organic foods, preserve and enjoy the bounty,
- contribute to increasing biodiversity and sequestering carbon with native plants, biochar, tree planting and the continuation of the Whole Village project and
- conserve our green spaces, wetlands and forests
Your group will:
- develop teamwork, problem solving and communication skills,
- deliver on your corporate social responsibility targets,
- experience motivation, morale boost, decrease stress and provide a great sense of accomplishment. Participants also burn calories and enhance their well being while making a big difference. Farm work is a great workout and
- enjoy a day breathing fresh air in the country!
“Thank You! I haven’t felt this good for a long time.“ Workbee Volunteer
It is well known that people’s interactions with plants and soil through the forms of active gardening and appreciation of nature greatly reduces stress. Working with nature and community has a healing aspect for our bodies and our minds.
There is a financial contribution for corporations to cover staff, administration, snacks and a vital contribution to the overhead costs to keep the farm running, including tools, animal supplies, and our efforts towards increasing biodiversity with native plants and trees.
