Our Story
Seeds for Eco Communities (SFEC) was founded as an Ontario based Non-Profit organization in 2016. After facing a major health event, Laura Blease led the establishment of this organization with the support of a group of like-minded individuals who together are on a quest to help create options for living healthy and sustainable lives. In particular, SFEC strives to provide educational tools and resources to anyone who is interested in establishing eco communities or living in an off-grid self-sustaining environment. Information is also shared to help those interested in beginning or continuing to move the yardstick towards a lower footprint life.
SFEC is built upon a passion for protection and restoration of the environment. The people who make up the Board of Directors, Advisory Committee, staff and volunteers for SFEC have committed to be part of a team to help others live in balance and harmony with the natural environment. By providing guidance and support to enable the building of eco communities, our vision is to make sustainable living attainable and accessible to all who are interested in this type of lifestyle.
SFEC believes this balance, respect for one another and respect for the environment, are essential in building successful and healthy communities for future generations. What was once a dream is now a reality and we hope you join us on the road to building our pilot eco community and in supporting others to build their own eco communities around the globe.
At Seeds for Eco Communities we strive to make all of our resources as accessible as possible to all who are interested in learning more. This includes consideration of those who may have a disability or other accessibility challenges. We welcome input and ideas on how we can continue to strive to accommodate these needs in the information we share and the work we do.
