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 Campbell River Farmer’s Market, and our farm store Tuesday – Friday 10 – 4 (cash or etransfer accepted).
It’s Sunday! And you know what that means Brian is ready for you at the Campbell River market! 10-2 today
He’s got all sorts of treats, including cauliflower and strawberries!
Its almost time and we are here with all the fabulousness!! 9-1 @comox_valley_farmers_market
🌈 Tomorrow is Pride at the Farmers Market 🌈
And we are ready to celebrate with our rainbow of food.
For us, Pride is about a commitment—one that shows up in how we hire, how we fire, and where we put our time, energy, and resources, donations and caring to help create fairness, equality, and kindness.
Every human being deserves dignity. That’s the foundation we stand on.
So while you won’t see us decked out in rainbow gear, (Because we are way too dirty for our fancy clothes) know that we work every day to make our farm and our market stall a safe and welcoming space. 💚
✨ One of our favorite parts of farming is hearing stories like this!
Local food hero Jane bought our green beans two weeks ago at the Farmers Market. Life got busy, and when she finally reached for the last of them, she was amazed—they were still crisp, crunchy, and absolutely delicious. 💚
That’s the difference when you buy local:
🌱 Longer shelf life → less food waste
🌱 Fresher produce → more nutrition
🌱 More nutrition → more taste
🌱 Grown with care, picked at peak flavor
Your veggies are harvested right before you take them home, not shipped thousands of miles or stored for weeks. That extra time means more meals enjoyed and fewer tossed-away veggies.
We’re so grateful for stories like these—thank you, Jane! 🥰
💚 Support local. Eat fresh. Waste less.

✨ Anyone want to guess what this pepper is?
It’s one you probably use all the time. But here’s the thing: when it’s fresh, it’s a whole different experience. 🌶️
Fresh cayenne has a remarkable taste — fruity, bright, and spicy in a way that makes you want more, more, more. It’s not the same as the dried version in your spice jar.
These beauties are headed to our friends at @lokyeebakery, where they’ll be transformed into their incredible chili crisp. 🔥🥟 The perfect way to spice up your life!
STOP what you’re doing and admire this masterpiece. 😍 @nelson.frankie.bryn took home our seedlings and turned them into a full-on harvest dream. 🌱🥕👏 We’re obsessed.
Please share your photos if you have an amazing harvest from our seedlings! This is so fun. It’s like seeing the kids after they’ve grown up.
