Western Canada Introduction

Vedic Eco Village was designed by Bhakti Raghava swami, a pioneering Varnasrama Dharma farm community developer.  This is the prototype for future Vedic Eco Villages across Canada.  Facilities are under construction.  Activities include growing, harvesting and preparing food, clearing the forest, milling lumber and building infrastructure. We grow seasonal crops, as well as nut & fruit orchards and flower gardens. 

Our root cellar can store 3,000 pounds of crops and more.  We need more people to expand the eco village.  We are expanding irrigation, orchard and farming operations.

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."

The Vedic Eco Village imbibes principles of Permaculture, natural farming and cob building promoting a simple and sustainable lifestyle centered on cow culture and Lord Krishna
