Fallowfield is located in the triangle of Fallowfield Road, Richmond Road and Steeple Hill Crescent and also includes Richmond Road north up to Hope Side Road.[2] The village serves as a bedroom community for the larger urban area of Ottawa as there are no retail or commercial enterprises in the village.[2] It assumes a rather prominent position over the surrounding countryside as the major part of the village is located on a gently terraced escarpment.[2] Population for the village is estimated at 366 people[3] as of 2004. Public high school students in this area go to South Carleton High School in Richmond. It is the site of the CFIA Fallowfield Laboratory, a 2000-acre farm which houses amongst other facilities the Food Science Laboratory, the Ottawa Animal Health Laboratory, and the Ottawa Plant Laboratory.[4]
