Hello from Fitzgerald Farms!
Established in 2016 Fitzgerald Farms is a 10 acre farmstead located in
the beautiful Comox Valley located on Vancouver Island.
As a couple of newbies to the farming world Diane and Andrew tried to
start out slow, haha, just kidding! They jumped in with both feet and
have been running ever since! Taking a piece of land that hadn’t been
farmed before they quickly began making changes! Some trees came down
were milled and turned into the beautiful red barn that now stands out
on the property! What was once a large backyard became the market
garden, then came the greenhouse and more garden area which for the
last few years has turned out the most amazing vegetables! As well,
animals were added of course, starting out with kune kune pigs and
Muscovy ducks some dexter cows were added to the menagerie! Right now
they are breeding Dorper sheep. Diane began selling at a small farmers
market in merville in 2017 and as that market has grown so has her
garden! The merville gumboot market is now an established farmers
market and Fitzgerald Farms is always there! In 2021 the farm will
start selling at the Comox Valley farmers market on Wednesday nights
in addition to the Sunday market in Merville. As well, sales of
starter veggies will be available through the website and at the farm
starting in April.
