Lavender & Garlic Harvest 2024

DATE: July TBA

TIME: 10am - 5pm

Lavender is known for its calming benefits and healing properties and has been used therapeutically for centuries. Shamrock Farm hopes to offer our guests a tranquil and relaxing environment focused on sustainability and well-being.

Wander among the lavender blooms in the field, cut your own bouquet, and see our beautiful wall of lavender. Meet the farmers and ask questions.

Visit the barn—bursting with hundreds of dried lavender and garlic bundles—and enjoy shopping for fresh vegetables picked from the fields nearby.

Watch the art of lavender distillation in a traditional alembic copper still. The small-batch process uses low-pressure and lavender flowers to produce the highest quality essential oil and hydrosol. From field to farm to final product, Shamrock’s fragrant lavender is the key ingredient in their handmade skin and bath products, including essential oils; hydrosol, lip balms, salves, body creams, and goat’s milk soaps.

The farm will have varieties of French and English lavender plants available to take home. Lavender is deer resistant, ideal for the Comox Valley.

We would like to offer our guests a tranquil and relaxing environment. Well-behaved children are more than welcome to visit with an adult. No dogs, please.

We look forward to sharing our lavender field, barn, and farm with you.

Visit the online shop for all our lavender products.

Fall Harvest market 2024

DATE: October (closed Mondays)
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, dried flower bouquets, 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.

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.”
