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!!!!!
We HAVE TWO DOGS ON THE FARM.
PLEASE DO NOT BRING YOUR DOG UNLESS YOU CAN LEAVE IT IN YOUR CAR!
2011 Updates
Join the 2011 Eat Local Food Challenge! (Link to Facebook Page) We take part with "Strawberry Days" during our season! Stay tuned for more info!
June 8: Lots of blooms but no idea of when season will hit. End of June??? Keep looking!
We have 14 little Berkshire piggies....if you drive down our driveway you'll only see the occasional ear...they sleep under the rye all day....
June1: We have flowers and small green berries. We've been busy weeding and spreading straw.....Come on sun!
The plants are finally starting to grow....and so are the weeds. We started weeding this past week! We've got our weeders (geese) and sluggers (ducks) penned up on part of the field to see if they can make a difference! The pigs arrive at the end of May and the cycle begins! If you'd like to bring the kiddos over for a visit the fence is ELECTRIC - you can throw bread to the geese and compost to the chickens!
Upick $2.85/lb Pre Picked $4/lb
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.
We will send a Strawberry Notification for 2011!! (Sometime in June)
We welcome Wwoofs on our farm! Check out our past woofs here!
