Find us at the Market Today
The farm stand is closed today as we are packing up and heading downtown. You can find us at the Victoria Public Market in Market Square from noon to 4 p.m. This market is now every Wednesday and may become a year-long market — more updates on that to come later.
It’s Berry Season!
Berry season has officially arrived! We are in full swing picking everything, so give us a call and come on by!
Currants
Update: The currants, especially the black, are almost at their prime. If you would like them fresh this year now is the perfect time to place an order because once they are ripe they will not last long in this heat. We also have frozen berries available all year long.
Cherries
Update: Last week the cherries were completely green but with this hot spell we’re having they are ripening quickly. We should have some Lapins at next week’s market.

Keep an eye out for your Favourite Farm Girl next Saturday (July 7th) at the Peninsula Country Market. She’ll have a new product that’s sure to drive your tastebuds wild! The black currants are looking amazing, they haven’t been this big in years! They should also be ready for next weekend’s market. Don’t […]
