We have included some links to various pages that we feel are valuable sources of information for anyone looking to have a renewable energy system in their home. These pages have been very helpful to us in setting up our system and we hope that you find them useful and informative as well.

Whole Village Farm – on November 4th 2006, we had our first one day workshop here. We were very happy with how it turned out. Everyone seemed to enjoy themselves, and a ton of really great information was exchanged! Jean-Marc, William, Mark and Kris are involved in a really interesting and unique community just north of Toronto called Whole Village Farm. It’s a co-operative, ecologically and environmentally friendly farm where everyone works together for the benefit of the whole community. They grow their own food and sell what they can’t use to neighbouring communities. All of the people who attended the workshop either live at the farm or helped to build their new co-operative housing unit at the farm. For more information on this project, check it out at
