Upper Humber Settlement

Sustainable living in a Newfoundland farmstay.

Canada Canada donation

Mark and Lauralee embarked on their vision for Upper Humber Settlement in 2012, acquiring a six-acre property in the historic farming community of Cormack, Canada. Their commitment to self-sustainability and reducing their carbon footprint is evident in the homestead's construction, which utilizes locally sourced lumber and repurposed materials. This dedication has culminated in a unique FarmStay Bed and Breakfast, established in Newfoundland in 2020. While the primary focus appears to be on sustainable living and hospitality, the ethos of mindful resource management and connection to the land could offer a contemplative backdrop for visitors. It's a place where you might find inspiration in their journey towards a more harmonious way of life, even if formal meditation retreats aren't explicitly advertised.
