Escarpment Community Rooted In Farming & Food
About Thornbury Acres
Thornbury Acres is a residential farm cooperative that brings your family the resources, land and expertise to grow nutritious food right at home.
Around the world, people are educating themselves and making more informed decisions when it comes to the foods they eat, where they come from and how they are produced.
The pandemic spurred a significant increase in home gardening and homesteading as people began growing their own vegetables and became less dependent on the globalized agri-food supply chain and resilient against rising prices at grocery stores.

“I am very interested in sustainable living that includes individual property ownership and community elements, which makes this prospect interesting to me. I also love the area.”
“Seeking a community that shares my values”
“We believe Thornbury Acres offers possibilities and we look forward to the opportunity to literally build a community with others. What seems to be lacking in today's society is a "coming-together" attitude that this lifestyle presents.”
