With over 70 food producer listings, this map represents the most comprehensive directory available for local food in the Cowichan Valley to-date.

With the Buy Local! Buy Fresh! map consumers can find produce, meat, seafood and wine, all grown and raised in the Cowichan Valley or caught off its shores.

The Buy Local! Buy Fresh! map is part of a greater food security mapping project undertaken by Cowichan Green Community in Duncan and is attracting the attention of farmers and foodies all over the Valley.

A majority of the farms listed on the map sell directly from their farm gates.

“Farmers don’t have a lot of time to spend on marketing. This map is a great tool for guiding new customers directly to my farm stand so I can focus on what I do best – producing great food!”

Says Evelyn Pereira of Terra Nossa Farm in Mill Bay.
