Whitaker Farm, established 2014, was founded with the desire to feed our families, our community and our soil as ethical stewards for the future.
We focus on using best practices to grow our vegetables, feeding our community year round using a combination of storage crops, climate appropriate growing and season extension tools.
You can find our produce at the Comox Valley Farmer’s Market and Cumberland Market, and our farm store.
Many thanks @lokyeebakery, Ridgewood Farms for this combination. Slow cooked braised ribs with kin lok chili crisp and @ravensmooncraftcider ape cider plus a load of fun farm delights like rheza peppers, onions, shallots, sweet peppers and celery. With a side of carrots and mashed seiglinde potatoes with home made sauerkraut. All local and mostly from our farm. What a treat!

This is farmer Brian, stepping out of my reluctant social media comfort zone to introduce our final farmer. It takes a lot of hands to make the farm work. That being said, no Mariette, no Whitaker Farm. Because I’m a guy and usually dirty, people mistake me for the farmer. Nope. She’s THE farmer.
Market stand looks amazing? Mariette. The variety, quantity on display on the stand and in the CSA boxes? Mariette. The socials (except this one)? Mariette. Crop planning, season planning, seed selection? Mariette. Placing us in a context of food and food security? Mariette. Feeding ourselves, our community and soil? Mariette. She does this selflessly and relentlessly, sometimes/often at the expense of her wellbeing. There are easier paths to take but she sees this as one that needs doing.
A lot of hands come together to make the farm go. But she’s THE Whitaker Farm farmer holding it all together and charting the course, so that we all keep going. Thanks for all that you do Mariette. Much love and much thanks.
