You and your children will take a trip to our garden where you will learn how to pick that vegetable and of course you will be able to taste. Cost is $100 per family for the whole 8 weeks. Preregistration is required. Would your group like to have your own program, we can customize a program for you. Contact us for details. Also available is our drop in program for families who can not make every week – details on the application form.

Greenhouse Opens for the Season

May 1, 2024

The heat of summer is around the bend and our gorgeous selection of greenhouse grown flowers and vegetable transplants are ready for planting! Pop into the greenhouse for quality plants that will add beauty and life to your garden!

Vegetable Box Program

Begins in June!

Vegetable Box Program is your chance to receive a weekly box of locally grown, seasonal fruits and vegetables for 14 consecutive weeks for one low price. By paying up front, you help support our farm as we incur the costs for seeds, equipment employees, and others expenses. This year we have a BC fruit share, a u-pick option, salad basket, Thanksgiving vegetable box and a preserve basket.

Garden Starter Packs - Garden Box

We have created garden packs with baby plants ready for you to plant into your garden. You get to choose your favorite vegetables to go into your pack. Pick up will be at our farm in May when the plants are ready – you will receive a reminder email to let you know the pick up time frame.

We want you to have success in your home garden so you are welcome to touch base with our garden experts by email or Facebook messenger.

Choose the size of your garden plot, from smaller deck planters all the way up to a large garden pack. The plants will come in two phases as the season evolves: the first set at the beginning of May with the hardy plants – lettuce, kale, onions, broccoli, cabbage. The tender plants will be ready for the end of May pick up – including cucumbers, pumpkins, peas, beans and corn. You get to customize the vegetables your family will enjoy.
