Welcome!

At Little City Farm we are an urban homesteading family of four trying to live simply and sustainably in a mid-sized city in southwestern Ontario.

We have been living on our 1/3 acre city homestead for 15 years, using the principles of permaculture as our guide, while trying to minimize our impact on the environment. You can reach us at: info {at} littlecityfarm.ca
