Wind Whipped Farm is a market garden in Metchosin, on the Southern end of Vancouver Island. We respectfully acknowledge that Wind Whipped Farm operates on the traditional and unceded territories of the SC’IȺNEW̱ (Beecher Bay) and lək̓ʷəŋən (Lekwungen) peoples.
Alex and Virginie started Wind Whipped Farm more than 15 years ago, growing vegetables and fruit for local residents, restaurants, farm stands, box programs, and more. We farm using organic-inspired practices and work closely with other local producers, with a shared goal of supporting regional food security and farmland preservation. Wind Whipped Farm is also the home base of the Local Food Box program.
We are motivated to help grow a resilient local food system. Through ecological farming practices, we promote soil health, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and foster biodiversity. We value the connections food and farming create in our community, and we are deeply grateful to our customers, farm workers, volunteers, neighbours, family, and the local food community for their ongoing support.
Our produce is currently available through The Local Food Box program, the Wind Whipped Farmstand, the Metchosin Farmers Market, the Flying Dutchmen Market, and a few local restaurants, including Wild Mountain Food & Drinks. We also donate produce to food banks.
In 2026, we opened the Parry Rd Farmhouse to offer short-term farm stays and agritourism experiences, giving visitors an opportunity to connect with a working farm, learn about local agriculture, and experience the unique food and farming community of Metchosin.
