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. 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. It assumes a rather prominent position over the surrounding countryside as the major part of the village is located on a gently terraced escarpment. Population for the village is estimated at 366 people 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.
