ClearWater Farm is a not-for-profit ecological and educational farm situated on the shores of Lake Simcoe in Willow Beach, Ontario. Its mission is to engage youth and the community through science, technology, and the arts, fostering a deeper connection with land and water while promoting sustainable practices and food systems.

Key features of ClearWater Farm include:

• Educational programming & community engagement: The farm hosts field trips, workshops, themed community events, and youth programs that teach ecological literacy.
• Food production & local supply: Through a farm stand and seasonal CSA (Community Shared Agriculture) basket programs, the farm offers fresh, locally grown produce and supports the farm-to-table movement.
• Venue & event services: ClearWater Farm includes a newly constructed barn space (capacity ~140 seats) with scenic lake views, which can be used for weddings, community events, and gatherings.
• Nonprofit & volunteer-based model: As a charitable organization, its operations rely on volunteers, sponsorship, and donations to advance its mission and maintain its programs.

ClearWater Farm serves as a hub for ecological innovation, reconnecting people to nature, supporting local food security, and nurturing the next generation of environmental stewards.

This unique program was built because of the strong need to provide opportunities for young people without generational access to land or equipment to gain hands-on experience and mentorship in agriculture. With an exclusively regenerative agricultural focus, we are growing the next generation of farmers to cultivate a more sustainable future.

Through this program we have successfully coached and trained several young food and farming professionals including: 5 who have started their own farms and 5 who have held/currently hold managerial positions on the farm upon completion of the program.
