We are a family-run operation based on Reed Road in Upper Gibsons. We arrived on the Coast over 10 years ago. Today you can find our Produce in a number of local grocery stores and restaurants along the Sunshine Coast, BC. Sunnycoast Farm is constantly looking to improve our practices, and expands each year to serve more Coast residents.
For the last 5 years we have run an in-person volunteer group to get peoples’ hands in the soil, take home healthy food, and most importantly: create community. There’s never a dull moment at Sunnycoast, with 3 young children pitching in, plus a bunch of chickens and Rose the cat along for the ride!
Because our community is geographically vulnerable to supply chain interruptions, one of our goals is to improve food security on the Sunshine Coast. With carefully grown food delivered from within a small radius, we strive to offer options outside the industrial food system that are more secure and sustainable. In addition, the product is substantially more fresh, nutrient-dense and better to the environment in many ways. Our prices are competitive with the large food distribution companies, so that Restaurants and Grocers can realistically make the decision to incorporate more local stock, and consumers can routinely put farm fresh food on their tables.
“…as a relatively isolated and ferry-dependent region, the community is very dependent on imported food. Recent estimates suggest that somewhere around 1% and 3% of the food consumed on the Sunshine Coast is produced here. Lack of local food production and self-sufficiency means substantial food dollars are leaving the Sunshine Coast, while also leaving our community food insecure.” (SCRD Agricultural Area Plan, 2014).
We thank the Grocery Stores and Restaurants who choose to support small farms.
We grow a variety of produce using open fields as well as polytunnel greenhouse cultivation. Our Micro Greens are available all year long, regardless of what it looks like out your window. We do not use any pesticides and make every attempt to improve the quality of the soil as we go.
Our specialty is Salad Greens and Micro Greens, and we also grow herbs, squash, tomatoes, cucumbers, and other seasonal offerings. We put our heart and soul into what we grow, and we hope that you will enjoy the delicious results!
Our Hens love to eat the left over Microgreens sprouts after we’ve cut our trays. Not only is it very healthy for them and beneficial to our eggs, they then process the soil and return it to the earth, making new fertile material for growing other things in our larger farm field.
