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).
In honour of the last Strawberry Moon we may see until 2043, we’ve filled the farmstand with fresh strawberries — ripe, fragrant, and ready for you.
It feels a little like magic out here…
“Living is easy with eyes closed…”
…but strawberries are real, and they’re glorious.
We’ll keep the stand open as long as the berries last — possibly until 6 or even 7 tonight. Come celebrate this rare lunar moment with something sweet and grounding from the earth. 🌙🌱
See you soon.
This year, instead of buying flower pots, I finally did something I’ve been dreaming about: I planted my own hanging baskets—half filled with cherry tomatoes and nasturtiums from the farm.
I know, I know… the food is only 200 metres away. But there’s something irresistibly cosy about plucking a sun-warmed tomato right outside your window. It also gave me the perfect excuse to trial a few varieties I don’t usually get to play with.
But my favourite part? The baskets of nasturtiums.
Our Whitaker Farmmix is multicoloured, unpredictable, and pure magic—every flower a surprise, every bloom a little gift.
And the best part? Nasturtiums don’t need deadheading. They just grow, bloom, and tumble over the edge like they’ve got nothing to prove.
Would you look at that! Our tenderstem gailaan × broccoli is back. 💚 Super sweet and ridiculously hardy, none of the traditional bitterness that can accompany summer broccoli, this Asian varietal thrives in our wild climate:
✅ Cool weather
✅ Hot weather
✅ Cool to hot weather
Just don’t grow her in a greenhouse. 🤣🤣
You might as well slap a pair of sunglasses on her and let her host the weather report. 😎🌱
