HERB FARM & NATURE SANCTUARY
THE NEW NEW AGE Herb Farm and Nature Sanctuary is located in the Otter River Valley near Port Burwell, Ontario, Canada. We manage over 280 acres of mature Carolinian forest, 10 acres of medicinal herbs and have converted over 50 acres of former farm land to native habitat including tall grass prairie, wetlands and deciduous forest.
Sales from our products directly support our continued regeneration of farmland to native habitat. Your support helps us protect Canada's wilderness!
HERB FARM
Inspired by the interconnectedness of human and environmental health we practice beyond-organic, ecological farming and ethical wildcrafting guided by permaculture and monastic, visionary herbal traditions.
A few of the herbs we actively cultivate/ wild harvest are: Holy Basil, Yarrow, Sage, Pine, Reishi, Lion's Mane, Anise Hyssop, Elderflower, Lemon Balm, Mugwort, Hops, Rose, Lavender, Bee Balm, Linden, Skullcap, Passionflower, Prickly Ash, Spicebush, Red Clover, Nettles.
NATURE SANCTUARY
With the ongoing support from groups like ALUS Elgin, ALUS Canada, and Long Point Conservation, we are able to continue our conservation work each year.
- To date we have restored over 50 acres of farm land to native Carolinian habitat with a particular emphasis on edible and medicinal plant species.
- We have planted over 30,000 trees, established wetlands, as well as tall grass prairie and pollinator habitat which provides an abundance of food and plant medicine imbued with the verdant energy of the wild Carolinian terroir.
We also work with local universities and organisations, by supporting scientific studies and research at the farm. From surveys for rare and endangered plants and animals, to measuring the immediate and longterm contributions of habitat conservation to clean air, clean water and biodiversity, these studies provide important information for researchers, ecologists, and policy makers.
