Farms & Markets
Fresh produce
When the K'omox First Nation named this region "Land of Plenty", it was on to something.
The Comox Valley Farmers’ Market in Courtenay speaks for a way of life and a love of food that binds producers and consumers, and dances straight from field to plate.
Meats are lamb, beef, chevon goat, bison and venison, raised on natural grass and hay without medicated feed, animal byproducts or hormones. Chickens are free range and fish and Fanny Bay oysters come straight from the ocean.
Also look to fill your food basket with bison sausages, smoked fish, organic pastas, vegan foods, unpasteurized honey, single-origin, organic dark chocolate and award-winning cheeses such as Comox Camembert.
Comox Valley Farmers' Market
The Comox Valley’s Farmers' Market began with 10 local farmers in 1992. Today it boasts more than 80 farmers, fishermen, bakers and candy makers. The market's astonishing bounty covers everything from arugula to artichokes and local wasabi to a dozen varieties of garlic.
The Farmers’ Market is open on Saturdays in summer, fall and winter, and Wednesdays and Saturdays in the summer.

Comox Valley Farms
Farms in the Comox Valley are lush with variety: organic wasabi and Asian vegetables from Hazelmere Farms, 15 varieties of garlic from Big Buzz Acres, Saskatoon berry pies from Deroda Farm, goat steaks and chilli peppers from Seal Bay Farms and organic popsicles from Natures Way.

Seaview Game Farm
Best known as the largest fallow deer farm on Vancouver Island, Seaview also produces organically raised chicken, lamb and venison.
Tours guide visitors past fields of deer and a mini farm of goats, lambs, peacocks, turkeys, llamas and alpacas. The farm tour also includes greenhouses, orchards, a petting zoo and playground, as well as the opportunity to stay overnight in an authentic tepee.
Natural Pastures Cheese Company
These artisanal cheeses are made with the milk produced by free-range cows on a certified heritage farm. Visit the cheese shop in Courtenay, and "try before you buy." Be sure to sample the award-winning Comox Camembert, popular Boerenkaas, and flavoured Verdelaits.
Fanny Bay Oysters
Seafood lovers must indulge in the area's ocean-fresh Pacific oysters and Manila clams. Book a tour of the processing plant and learn how Fanny Bay plants baby oysters in the inter-tidal zone, an area under water at high tide, but exposed at low tide. The exceptionally high tidal conditions in this area encourage the oysters to flourish.
Brambles Market
Brambles Market is a Courtenay boutique that sells only products grown in BC and only within 402km/250mi of the Comox Valley. Vegetables, fruits, fishes and meats radiate freshness and quality. Look forward to pork, chicken and sausages from Tannadice Farms, Island View lavender products, bison steaks from Island Bison and foods from 200 different producers.
