For Over 30 years we've proudly shared the farm with our community.
Our visitors are truly the central part of this family farm and what we do as farmers. From humble beginnings of a pick your own pumpkin patch in 1993, our open farm days have become a big part of what we do at Shamrock Farm. We would like to send a heartfelt 'thank you' to our amazing customers for their tremendous support. This farm wouldn't be possible without our community.

Fall Harvest market
DATE: October 1st - 30th (closed Mondays) 2026
TIME: 10:00am - 5:00pm
Visit our Barn Market bursting with hundreds of bundles of heirloom garlic, onions, shallots, delicious winter vegetables, and unique squash all harvested from our fields.
Shop our line of goat milk soaps, farmhouse preserves, and our lavender beauty products. Everything we sell is grown or made on the farm.
If you are looking for a particular variety of pumpkin (cucurbita), we probably grow it. Over 59 of our favourite heirloom varieties are grown in our fields each year. Since 1993 we have been passionate growers concerned about the preservation of pumpkins and very mindful of the incredible history behind each variety.
Visit early in the month for the best selection. Our farm-grown Carving and heirloom pumpkins often sell out.
Due to the amount of food crops we are now growing, our back pumpkin fields are closed off.
Please leave your dogs at home for the safety of our farm animals.
A special note from the Farmers: “For those that haven’t visited this farm before - please don’t expect a crazy festival atmosphere, this is a real farm, and we take great pride in that. Do expect to see us working because we have daily farm chores that must get done no matter what. Do expect old-fashioned hospitality. Do expect to experience life on an authentic working farm. Do expect to see happy chickens wandering about. Bring extra change so that your children can experience the fun of feeding our free-range poultry. Do expect to see the most dazzling selection of winter squash you’ve ever witnessed. Bring your camera and questions. We love sharing this farm with our community ... we love growing food and flowers and celebrating agriculture.”

Lavender & Garlic Harvest
DATE: Late July 2027
TIME: 9:00am - 3:00pm
Each summer, when the lavender is in full bloom and garlic harvest is underway, we open our working farm to the community for five days of seasonal abundance.
Wander through our little lavender field, cut your own bouquet, and enjoy the fragrance of lavender at its peak. Explore our barn market—a little corner of France in the Comox Valley—filled with hanging garlic, dried flowers, and fresh vegetables picked from the fields nearby.
Watch the art of lavender distillation as we transform freshly harvested lavender into pure essential oil and hydrosol using our traditional copper still. From field to final product, our lavender is the key ingredient in our handmade line of skin and bath products, including essential oils, hydrosol, lip balms, salves, body creams, and goat’s milk soaps.
Meet the farmers, ask questions, and experience the beauty of a working farm at one of the most abundant times of the year. Browse our seasonal harvest, farm-made jams, jellies, pickles, preserves, and handmade products created here on the farm.
There is no admission fee. We welcome you to slow down, explore the farm, and see where your food and flowers are grown.
