About the Farm

Taste, Beauty, Quality, and Abundance

Nestled in a mountain valley at twelve hundred feet above sea level, our fertile fields produce a wide range of annual Mediterranean vegetables, grains, legumes, hay and pasture, and orchards of diverse varieties of peach, plum, apple, pear, quince, persimmon, fig, chestnut, and cherry. We also manage a small flock of laying hens and pastured pigs.

Our products are available each week at two Salt Spring Island farmer’s markets, and through some of Vancouver and Victoria’s finest restaurants. See bottom of page for more information.
