SUMMARY:Veridian at County Farm: Accelerating the Transformation to a World of Living Communities - Free CE Webinar
DESCRIPTION:Veridian at County Farm is nestled on County Farm Park with 130 acres of woods\, trillium-lined trails\, gardens and playgrounds.

It will be a 100% all-electric development\, powered by solar with no gas lines or combustion appliances of any kind. Your front porch faces a greenway guiding you into miles of wooded trails. Landscaping is viewed as a means of reviving ecosystems and 30% of the landscape will be dedicated to food production.
