A circular community hub
At HikariGrove, we combine tradition and innovation to empower sustainable growth and inspire confidence in a future rooted in heritage and vision.
Hikari Grove has a walkable circular design, eco-conscious architecture, and integrated natural systems. From solar-powered lanterns and heated sidewalks to the year-round indoor rainforest that purifies air and educates visitors, every element is built to minimize impact and maximize renewal. Local materials, passive solar design, and hands-on education in sustainable trade practices ensure that the community lives lightly on the land while building a future that lasts.
Everyone thrives here
At Hikari Grove, thriving isn’t reserved for a few—it’s built into every path, bench, classroom, and gathering space. Children explore freely in the adventure playground, teens express themselves in the skate zone and mural wall, and elders find peace along quiet trails or share stories by the fire pits. Aspiring makers train at the trade school while artisans and entrepreneurs bring their work to life in the local shops.
Nature-lovers find joy in the indoor rainforest, families connect over fresh food at the farm, and communities celebrate under cherry trees in the plaza. Learning, healing, creating, and connecting happen side-by-side—indoors and outdoors, year-round.
Here, wellness is woven into the design, opportunity grows from the ground up, and every generation has a place to belong, contribute, and flourish.
In this hub, we don’t just live—we thrive together.
Hikari Advocate
Sustainable Farming Expert
Nestled in the northeast corner of the Grove, Hikari Grove Farms is a 5-acre living classroom where children meet alpacas, goats, and chickens, and visitors reconnect with the rhythms of the land.
A traditional red barn built with Swiss-style timber framing anchors the space, while white-fenced pastures and a hand-carved wooden bridge offer charm and play.
More than just a farm, it’s a place for hands-on learning—where trade school students build pens, signage, and tools, and families learn about regenerative agriculture, animal care, composting, and food cycles. Seasonal programs include kids’ nature camps, community planting days, and artisan farm markets.
Waste from the nearby brewery and café is reused on-site, closing the loop between food, community, and sustainability. At Hikari Grove Farms, farming isn’t just practical—it’s poetic.
Trade School
Curriculum Development Advisor
At Hikari Grove, the Trade School is more than a classroom—it’s the heartbeat of skill, creativity, and heritage. As a Curriculum Advisor, your role is to shape a learning experience that honors traditional craftsmanship while embracing modern sustainability, design innovation, and cultural integration.
You’ll collaborate with master builders, artisans, and educators to design a project-based curriculum in:
- Timber Framing & Joinery (Swiss & Japanese styles)
- Eco-Conscious Construction & Sustainable Design
- Tool Mastery & Workshop Safety
- Furniture & Object Making (small batch, high craft)
- Architecture & Community Design Principles
- Repair, Reuse, and Circular Building Practices
- Farm & Land Infrastructure Building (pens, sheds, fencing)
- Event Structures & Public Installations (benches, signs, stages)
The curriculum blends hands-on projects, apprenticeship-style mentorship, and community contribution, with student’s work feeding directly into the Grove itself—building bridges, signs, kiosks, shelters, and more.
Agriculture Visionary
Heritage Preservation Specialist
At Hikari Grove, farming is more than function—it’s philosophy. As our Agricultural Visionary, you shape the soul of our 5-acre farm and its integration into the wider circular hub. You guide how food is grown, animals are cared for, soil is honored, and people reconnect with the living systems that sustain us.
This role bridges tradition and innovation. You’ll weave together regenerative farming practices, heritage animal care, permaculture design, educational programming, and closed-loop systems with the broader rhythms of the Grove—from the brewery to the trade school, the café to the compost pile.
Your influence includes:
- Designing a seasonal farm plan that reflects ecological balance and community needs
- Integrating animal stewardship (goats, alpacas, chickens) into public-facing educational systems
- Leading farm-based learning experiences for all ages—planting, harvesting, composting, animal care
- Collaborating with the Trade School to build tools, infrastructure, and functional structures
- Building partnerships with local growers, chefs, herbalists, and soil experts
- Creating a space where food, wellness, and wonder grow side by side
A Circular Community Hub Rooted in Heritage, Growing Toward the Future
Hikari Grove is more than a place—it’s a living circle of connection, creation, and continuity. Rooted in the deep traditions of Swiss craftsmanship and Japanese simplicity and grounded in Alberta’s open spirit, our design honors the beauty of the past while boldly stepping into what’s next.
The circular layout symbolizes unity, flow, and sustainability, inviting people of all ages and backgrounds to walk, learn, gather, and grow side by side. From artisan shops and trade schools to an indoor rainforest, an animal farm, trails, and public plazas, every element is intentionally placed to nourish both people and the planet.
Here, heritage is not a relic—it’s a foundation. Students shape timber by hand. Gardens grow food and skill. Spaces tell stories across cultures and generations. And every path leads not just somewhere but forward.
Hikari Grove is a place where the wisdom of tradition and the promise of tomorrow live in harmony. A model for circular living. A heartbeat for community. A future rooted in meaning.
