Yup - It’s here. There is nothing like fresh cantaloupe. For those of you who think cantaloupe is an anemic little slice on the side of your plate at a local family restaurant, think again! Fresh farm vine ripened cantaloupe is ambrosia. This is one of our most popular crops and is here for a short time so it sells out fast; don’t delay picking up this once a year treat. We will be open tomorrow at our farm gate (as we are every Wednesday) from 10:30 am to 6 pm. This Saturday we will be at the North Saanich Farm Market- the ‘Little Market that Could” located at 10990 W Saanich Rd, North Saanich, BC V8L 5P6. 9:30am to 11:30 pm. There is coffee and goodies and live music and a real old time farmers market feel.
Our melons, like all our other produce, are grown naturally with with no pesticides or chemicals. Regular $1.75 per pound but if you are a restaurant or commercial market please order by e mailing us at annethfarm@gmailcom - bulk pricing available upon request. Chefs this is a once a year opportunity to produce something really amazing - have a look at a couple of our favourite recipes on our website:

Of course we also have a cornucopia of other fresh natural produce including field heirloom tomatoes, anneth beans (romano type), blueberries, blackberries, figs, zucchini and pattipans, spaghetii squash, garlic, eggplant and so much more!
See you soon!
