Organic garden, interns and wind turbine at SunRun Centre / Russet House Farm
Organic veggie gardens at the SunRun Centre, northeast of Toronto, now under new ownership as Russet House Farm. The original owners, Milt and Barb Wallace, are now retired in Toronto. SunRun/Russet House is an off-the-grid organic farm and environmental education centre. Note the wind turbine. The solar panels are not in view in this picture. I wwoofed here when it was still under Milt and Barb's ownership, and the following year worked as an intern for the whole summer.
Milt & Barb also founded the Ecovillage Network of Canada in 1997 (see also the Community Page and this Canadian directory of ecovillages and intentional communities for background and context.
