From soil to table. Food Security grows here.
Located on 2431 Beverly Street, The Farm is a place where food security is cultivated featuring a large market garden, greenhouses, seasonal farm markets and plant nursery. Since 2015, this 3.5 acre property has transformed throughout the years from humble beginnings as a Seed Incubator Farm to CGC’s largest regenerative farming project.
PLANT NURSERY
The Farm’s plant nursery offers a diverse collection of garden classics to unique varieties of ornamentals, perennials, bedding plants, and in-house organically grown veggie starts. The nursery also continues to establish an extensive native plant section to better support our local ecosystems.
Seasonal Hours: Wednesday – Saturday 10AM – 3PM, April to October.
FARM MARKET
The Farm offers a seasonal weekly farm market featuring an expansive selection of freshly harvested produce such as salad mixes, tomatoes, peppers, berries, carrots, greens, squash, bouquets, and so much more. The Farm uses organic growing principles and concentrates on soil health resulting in both tasty and nutritionally dense produce.
Seasonal Hours: Every Thursday 10AM – 6PM, May to October.
UNDER THE WHITE MARKET TENT
Growing food and knowledge:
A place where food is grown, nature is valued, and knowledge is shared.

- Education & Collaboration: Agricultural based workshops and training opportunities are offered via internships, volunteering, group visits and events. Staff on-site also share garden knowledge and expertise to nursery and farm market customers. The Farm and nursery has also become a research and demonstration site through collaborating with local experts in the agriculture and environmentalism field.
- Community Gardens: The “Elders Gathering Garden” provides a community garden space for Elders and seniors to grow their own produce with a variety of raised beds including some taller beds for easier access.
- Urban Location: Located only 2kms from downtown Duncan, community can enjoy local produce, specialized one on one garden knowledge, and a unique variety of plants and veggie starts of all in one place.
