Cowichan Farm Club is a introducing a different way to think of Farm to Table. We are a farm, a club and an idea. In other words, we grow on demand to make farming as efficient as possible and lower the price of fresh quality food. Our core ideas are rooted in going back to the basics. Skip the chemicals, skip the supply chain, and keep our Club Members well fed with the freshest food.
At Cowichan Farm Club, we believe in the power of traditional farming methods combined with modern innovations. Our team of experienced farmers and agricultural experts work tirelessly to cultivate diverse crops using environmentally-friendly techniques that preserve the natural ecosystem. We are passionate about sharing the bounty of our land with the community and supporting local food security.
We knew there had to be a better way
“We started the traditional way. Bring your produce to a retailer, distributor, or find a market to sell at. This worked for a while, but we knew all along this was too complicated. Planting was hard to plan, and too much good food went to waste sitting on a table wilting for love. Any extra went to family, friends and neighbors who loved receiving such fresh farm vegetables.”
So it began, we listened. We flipped and we innovated. Now our Farm grows for the community directly. We are making it our mission to help make local easy. Made right here in Vancouver Island, Canada, we are upgrading the way we grow food on the Island in partnership with each and every Member who makes this possible.
The Cowichan Farm Club is a seed that will continue to grow. We’ve launched a model that will shorten the supply chain to just two links. This year our goal is to perfect the large-scale delivery and networking systems. The Cowichan Farm Club is both a community of Members and Small Farmers who all have one passion in common, fresh local food!
Our farm also grows most of it’s own seeds, and next year the Club will able to supply many of our Farmer Members who are just starting out with free seeds, and discounted seeds for larger plots.
Many people on the Island are passionate about farming and are unsure how to turn that into a reality. A cornerstone of the Cowichan Farm Club is to unite our resources, our potential and our community. We have a great and vibrant market on the Island full of passionate people. We aim to enhance it by directly connecting resources; sales, trading, and support systems for both consumers and farmers. Together We Grow!
