The A Rocha Ontario Centre at 1440 Westover Road, Millgrove, ON is centrally located a short distance from Hamilton, Burlington, Guelph, Cambridge and Kitchener. This beautiful, 55-acre organic farm features hill-top views, a large garden, fields, creek, and pond. We have outdoor shelters for classrooms and cozy indoor space for hosting small retreats and workshops.
We are also in partnership with communities at Windstone Farm (Ottawa, Beckwith Township) and in the Ottawa/Gatineau area.
Connecting people to creation through nature walks, potluck suppers and guest speakers, community gardening at the University of Ottawa, and citizen science in Gatineau Park.
