We currently produce ORGANIC vegetables, fruit, seeds, nuts, grains, beans, eggs, poultry, and Big Leaf maple syrup. We grow for our CSA members, our local Farmers' Market and for select local grocers and restaurants. Owned and operated by a young growing family: Elia who graduated from the UBC Faculty of Land and Food Systems in 2015 with a Bachelor Degree in Plant and Soil Science, her partner, Mark, who works off farm, and their young daughter, Aela. We live off the main farm, residing about 20 minutes away where our sugar bush is located. We lease 20 acres in central Duncan, which is where we grow our crops, raise our animals, and spend most of our time.
