A day in the life at Vedic Eco Village:

Start your day in a serene environment which supports self-regulation and deeper sadhana. 

Answering nature's call: maintaining personal hygiene off-grid involves extra steps and preparation. Outhouses and composting toilets available. The eco village does not provide paper products, rather we encourage everyone to learn natural, sustainable, and cleaner habits. Consider familiarizing yourself with water washing, using a lota (water vessel) before your arrival.

Village Manifestations 2025

Join our efforts to build a Vedic Eco Village and manifest a self-reliant spiritual community with food sovereignty.  Farming, stewarding the forest, milling lumber, building infrastructure, farm planning and fire wood-based activities are ongoing daily.   Chulha stoves are fuelled by cow dung & wood chopped by kids.  Help manifest key projects of the VēV master plan.

Our Dharma Discovery program for kids merges with our Daily Training Camp for Vedic Living Off-grid 

We are researching and testing the best way of using deeply burned trees either for firewood or building materials.

Passive Construction for a Sustainable Future

Our key projects this year focus on facilities and fenced grazing land for a new goshala.  Fencing grazing land with X-fences has re-started, built from thinned trees in nearby over-grown forests.  

A NorthEast facing dug-out cave will house a new goshala.  The cowshed, worker house will be built with milled local lumber.  A mass heater will heat living spaces, storage shed and warm water 

Help manifest our buildings in harmony with nature, accepting and preparing for future fires and other weather extremes. 

Food Supply for Eco Village

Farming and cow-protection provides the foundation for self-sustaining living and also generated prosperity for the rest of the society. A village should be an ecologically closed unit. Dung from cows fertilizers the grains and vegetables, and waste from vegetables and grains is food for cows and sheep. The surplus from this ecological cycle should be sold to markets outside the village. This makes for a stable economy.

We are currently growing Carrots, Beets, Potatoes, Peas, Cucumber, Broccoli, Kale, Chard, Lettuce, Spinach, Cabbage, Green Beans, Zucchini, Radish, Squash, Asparugus and Corn. 

Apple, Pear, Cherry, Apricot, Hazelnut and Walnut trees trees are 10 years old.  Raspberries, strawberries, currants, gooseberries, honeyberries (hascaps) and saskatoon berries are growing. Millet, buckwheat, grains and pulse seeds are being saved for future plantings. 

We grow assorted flowers, herbs, and spices.  Our value added items are Jams, Pickled Good, Juice, Teas and Baked Goods.  We will grow hay for our future Eco Village cows.

Srila Prabhupada on Varnāśrama

A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada

We need farm communities that can grow food.

Srila Prabhupada predicted that, "One day millions of people would be coming to our Hare Krishna farms because they are unemployed. And we must accept them. We must feed them. We must let them live there and they will gradually become spiritualized. We will put them to work, they will get their food and there will be prasadam. They will hear something about Krishna and they will gradually by the millions become devotees."

“Unless in the human society the Varnasrama system is introduced, no scheme or social order, health order or any order, political order, will be successful.” [October 18, 1977, Vrindavana]

"It may be an ideal village where the residents will have plain living and high thinking. For plain living we must have sufficient land for raising crops and pasturing grounds for the cows. If there is sufficient grains and production of milk, then the whole economic problem is solved." [Montreal 14 June 1968]

What is generally blocking or hampering the development of good relationships among devotees is the Ahankara or false ego. We must look towards the spiritual master for the solution to all our relationship problems.
