The Farm

Spanning 111 acres of active production fields and managed woodlots, Get Calm is defined by its role as a steward of the riparian landscape along the Otonabee River. This vital waterway serves as the lifeblood of our operation, supporting the diverse ecosystems and sustainable cultivation practices that define our farm. Our commitment to holistic healing is reflected in every managed trail and production zone, which are designed to facilitate the long-term health of the soil and the forest. We offer organic lavender products, and wellness workshops that align with our dedication to restorative land management and agricultural productivity.

Get Calm operates under a formal Managed Forest Tax Incentive Program (MFTIP), encompassing 111 acres of woodlot and riparian zones along the Otonabee River. Our forestry operations focus on the long-term health of the watershed and the active revitalization of native Ontario timber.

Our primary land management includes:

• Silviculture & Woodlot Thinning: We perform the systematic removal of compromised timber to improve canopy health and promote the growth of native hardwoods.
• Invasive Species Mitigation: We execute targeted management of non-native species to preserve the biological integrity of our forest zones.
• Riparian Zone Protection: We maintain the riverbank interface to prevent erosion and ensure the water quality of the Otonabee.

In addition to timber management, we maintain dedicated Wildlife Observation Corridors. These areas support local biodiversity, providing habitat for native pollinators, migratory birds, and regional fauna. Through our stewardship sessions, we provide the public with the opportunity to observe these active conservation efforts and learn about the role of private woodlots in Ontario’s agricultural infrastructure.
