Welcome to ASH Berry Farm, Royston BC, in the Comox Valley - The best place on earth!
Hi! We are a small berry farm located in Royston near Courtenay in the Comox Valley, Vancouver Island. We have Upick and prepicked strawberries and strawberry fed pork. We use sustainable, natural and organic methods on our farm. Strawberries are known to have a high pesticide load BUT NOT OURS!!!!! Chickens and Turkeys and Garlic! Oh My! Garlic - Great for seed or eating $10/lb We have Chesnok Red, Fishlake, Majestic and Persian Star, all hardneck varieties - My garlic from LAST YEAR is still consumable!!! Our garlic is grown organically! Our chickens range in size from 5lbs to 7.5 with a few sitting at over 9.....You have a great selection $4/lb Our turkeys are 17.5 -30 lbs...most hovering around 20 - Please call to reserve your bird!! (The large chickens make a great meal for smaller groups - same carcass LOTSA meat!!)
Our chickens and turkeys are unmedicated and free range! Two of
our turkeys (named Burger and Sausage) are still out there putting on
the pounds....come and visit them!! WE HAVE TWO DOGS ON THE FARM WHO DO NOT LIKE OTHER DOGS. DO NOT BRING YOUR DOG UNLESS YOU CAN LEAVE IT IN YOUR CAR! Our berries are hand weeded uncertified organic. We spend a lot of money on certified organic fungicides, fertilizer, (diesel), water and labor. Our production costs make it necessary to raise our prices. click here RASPBERRIES click hereBLUEBERRIES click here CRANBERRIES
