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.
Got the sweetest message today from an old friend I used to know when I grew tomato seedlings in the city over 15 years ago. She told me her mom has been saving seeds from a Black Krim I gifted her all those years back—and she’s still growing them!
This beautiful cycle of planting, nurturing, and sharing is exactly what we highlighted in our recent blog post: “Grow It Yourself: The Most Human Thing You Can Do”. 🌐 https://whitakerfarm.ca/grow-it-yourself-the-most-human-thing-you-can-do/ Growing food isn’t just about feeding ourselves—it’s about connection, memory, and the quiet power of care passed down through time.
Here’s to seeds that carry stories—and the growers who keep them alive. 🌱
