Our thriving food forest and ecosanctuary combine permaculture principles with a deep commitment to biodiversity, sustainability, and resilience.

At Blockhill, we've transformed degraded farmland into a flourishing ecosystem where native plants, wildlife, and edible species coexist in balance. Visitors can explore the interconnected layers of our food forest, enjoy hands-on learning about sustainable practices, or simply relax and reconnect with nature.
