  By Way of Introduction    
Hillesum Farm is a 45 acre farm located just outside the village of Campbellville in southwestern Ontario, Canada.

The Niagara Escarpment, one of Canada's most significant geological landforms, defines the physical features of the property with its gently rolling hills. The farm borders Guelph Line on the East and a wooded tract with hiking and riding trails protected by the Niagara Escarpment Commission in the West.

The farm is the primary residence of a number of horses, a cat and a dog.


 PRODUCTS  
Crops produced on the farm include hay, organic vegetables, and garlic.

Love All Animals
 



Our Philosophy  
We understand this place as a means to put into practice certain ideas and ideals about co-existence and sharing.

In the long term we hope to generate enough income from the farm to support on- and off-site charitable projects based on some of these principles:

  • To live in harmony with the land
  • to live in an ecologically responsible way
  • to farm organically and sustainably
  • to provide a haven for unwanted horses
  • to share the experience of this place
  • to learn from the land and the animals
  • to invite others to participate and partake

 Our Name  
No, there are no Mr. and Mrs. Hillesum living here. The Farm is named in honour of a very special individual who exemplified transcendant kindness and compassion, and who loved life in all its manifestations. Etty Hillesum died at Auschwitz, in August of 1943.




 Voices    
There are many whose words remind us of what is truly important in life. They come from all faith traditions, all walks of life.
