We run a seasonal farm stand at our farm on Westham Island from June until December.

We grow a wide array of organic vegetables, lots of specialty items as well as many staple crops. We also have beautiful bouquets of seasonal flowers and eggs from our pastured hens.

We are open daily in the summer until Labour Day Monday from 10am-5:30pm Monday to Saturday and from 10am-5pm on Sundays

In September and October we are open Tuesdays, Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays from 10am-5pm.

In November & December we are open Saturdays from 10am-3pm.

We are located on Tamboline Road, which is your second left after the Westham Island bridge. Our address is 4362 Tamboline Road.

Hope to see you and your family at the farm!img_2515sm

Some of our farmstand gals are heading back to uni next month and we will be looking for extra hands at the @cropthornefarmstand this fall. Email us at the farm for more info or to apply.
Peppers at the farm stand are farm kid approved!
We grafted all but one row of cukes this year. Swipe to see the lovely green grafted ones compared to these sad ungrafted ones. In March when we were grafting I was nervous, hoping all the effort (extra seed cost, misting lots plus the actual surgery!) to graft would be worth it and it definitely is!
The level of excitement for our first watermelon harvest may have been a little overstated (everyone swarming in to grab some!) but it’s a pretty nice treat after another hot week, although Crysta couldn’t quite contain her excitement and dug right into these yellow watermelon as soon as she saw them 🎉🍉☀️🍉☀️🎉
😍 Green onions packed and ready for market 😍
Transplanting Napa Cabbage with Miguel and Simon on this hot afternoon. (Miguel even said it was warm out today so that means it’s darn hot out there!) These Napa’s we’ll be harvesting in the fall and store until January for winter markets and our Early Winter CSA.
Happy Pride this weekend Vancouver! 🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈🌈 #pride #loveislove
It’s a crazy life farming and raising little humans, both important roles and both pretty darn fulfilling! • Photo from last spring, a stop in the evening field work for a nightcap for the #megaboss • #worldbreastfeedingweek #eatlocal #tbt
Convos in my head this morning... Farm: welcome back from your weekend away from me, I know how much you enjoyed swimming in those lakes so here’s an opportunity to splash around fixing this irrigation line for two hours. Me: 👏🏼 well played farm, well played
Upick flower area for CSA members is looking pretty fine these days 🌻🦋🐝🌼
Madness all around in July For what should be the end of the day, we pull some more onions on the way back from the carrot field to fill up the walk-in coolers just a little bit more. The days may be hectic and long but this is what we live for, winter is coming and we will miss all this madness soon enough.
It’s about this time of year things feel like they are going off the rails. •Broken walk-in cooler on the hottest day of the year ☀️ •Broken piece of equipment •A few fields weedier than they should be 🙈 •and this mornings most pressing issues; where the heck are #megabosses toddler earmuffs? But really it’s all about perspective; the cooler issue was a quick fix and thank goodness we have two so could move everything across. The equipment part we need is an easy one to find and we are almost, almost caught up on weeding and mega was more than happy to wear my ear protection this morning while setting up irrigation on the tractor. #wevegotthis #year10 #summertimeonthefarm #justgottabreathe

Weekend CSA member, Martin is picking the most beautiful tomatoes for your shares 🍅😍🍅😍🍅
What dreams are made of, cultivating the kale (about two weeks late 😬... hoping one day weeds will learn about procrastination) and still ending up with a pretty clean bed 😍😍😍
Reality of a farming mama: Fresh sheet and animal friends. It took about an hour to get this week’s fresh sheet out to chefs, in between potty breaks, story books and singing ‘Old McDonald’ for quite literally the 100th time!
