Welcome to the

Cowichan Farm and Food Hub

The Cowichan Farm & Food Hub is a three-acre site in the heart of North Cowichan. It is home to a market and teaching farm, nursery, seed library, community gardens, and soon-to-be home of a shared-use kitchen and distribution warehouse. What started as a seed incubator farm in 2015 has now flourished into a community hub dedicated to food sovereignty, food justice, and lifelong learning in the Cowichan Region. 

Come for some plants, stay for the view. 

The Farm Hub is a three-acre organic community farm located beside Somenos Creek on the ancestral territory of the Quw’utsun Nation. It is home to a plant nursery that specializes in native & medicinal plants as well as fruit & vegetable seedlings.

The farm is a place to purchase plants that bring restoration to both the region and the body. We focus on education by welcoming volunteers, hosting workshops, and gardening alongside the community.

The Farm Hub is the site of the CGC’s Seed Farm, where IOPA-certified organic crops are grown specifically for seed production with a focus on educating farmers and community members on the importance of locally adapted open-sourced seeds. There is a beautiful variety of vegetable, grain, pulse, and flower seeds for sale, as well as seed packets for home gardeners and bulk quantities for farm scale.




Also on the site is the Ross Wristen Inclusion Garden, a communally tended market garden that is set up to make gardening more comfortable, inclusive, and accessible. In addition to our communal garden, we offer individual garden plots and raised, wheelchair-accessible planter boxes for independent gardening. CGC’s Inclusive Farming Program supports individuals with disabilities to develop gardening skills, with funding support from the Victoria Foundation.

At the Farm Hub, we also grow a selection of seeds, grown organically without the use of chemical pesticides or herbicides. These seeds are locally adapted varieties, which increases the productivity and yield of these heirloom varieties. Click here to see our seed catalog.

Come by to check out our plants and seeds for sale, take a tour of the farm and ask your gardening questions! The Nursery is open for sales Tuesday – Saturday, 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM.
You can find us at 2431 Beverly St., Duncan.
