We are excited to be back into flowers here on the farm! We've officially had the farmstand stocked with flowers two weekends in a row, and our Spring Subscriptions will start later this week. We enjoyed a relatively mild winter, filled with lots of learning for our home educated kiddos, film making, sports, keeping up with the animals (not always easy after a low yield of hay) and some down time here and there over the colder months. In March we welcomed a new baby calf to the farm- a little bull calf named Hershey. Our jersey cow Beatrice, did beautifully with calving and now we are enjoying the liquid gold of the family milk cow. Spring looks a lot like...
Spring is trying desperately to stick around, but the temperatures have been consistently chilly. The start of our Spring Subscriptions will be a little bit later than usual this year, by about a week. But the flowers are happy and chugging along. We have now had flowers at the farm stand for 2 weekends in a row, with Easter weekend being the start to the flower season! We have the farm stand stocked on Sundays from 10-6pm with eggs, coffee and flowers. I am excited to say that Mother's Day pre-orders for arrangements and mixed bouquets are now open. These items will be available for pick up from the farm. I will also be offering delivery to Comox/Courtenay on Wednesday May 10,...
It’s hard to believe that it’s already mid February. Our first plantings of 2023 went into the ground a few weeks ago. Several hundred healthy ranunculus corms were presprouted and planted out under a layer of compost, leaf mulch and frost cloth.

We have so many beautiful varieties to come! Our fabulous customers asked for more of the double “peony” look tulips, and we listened! There will be a beautiful assortment of ruffle blooms for our spring subscribers to enjoy in their homes. We are...
Happy August! We’ve made it through the strange spring and early summer weather- summer has officially arrived on the island! We’ve been enjoying some beautiful sunny days with our kids amidst keeping animals and flowers well hydrated, haying our field, and raising meat birds. With the wonderful weather the flowers are bountiful! We have the farm stand stocked every Sunday at the corner of 931 Williams Beach Rd. We’ve got eggs, mixed bouquets and freshly roasted coffee. Due to popular demand Matt has also added a Dark Roast to the coffee line up. Visit the stand Sunday’s from 9-5. (Or sell out!) We also take special orders throughout the week for pick up at the farm (email us) and ask for...
We are very excited to have an abundance of spring flowers this year just in time for Mother’s Day!
