Scroll down for more updates from the farm!
Pamela Fox comes from a farming family that has a long history on the Saanich Peninsula. Her grandparents came over from England in the early 1900s and loved the area so much, they soon brought over their parents, Pamela’s great-grandparents.
They had a dairy farm near Butchart Garden’s and before that, milked Jersey cows in the Mt. Newton Valley at Lawrence Hagan Farm – what is now known as Woodwyn Farm.
Pamela’s father, Stan Fox, eventually took over the farm and delivered milk all over Greater Victoria. In 1961, he started growing sweet corn, eventually producing enough for every man, woman and child on Vancouver Island.
Pamela was able to purchase land in the Mt. Newton Valley on Hovey Road, which was part of the farm her grandparents named Silver Rill.
Her father suggested she grow something different and she drew on her British roots to start growing currants and gooseberries. Pamela has four brothers that also operate their own farms.
