ABOUT PLENTY WILD FARMS

We are a small, certified organic farm dedicated to providing high-quality produce to our local communities. 2025 will be our 13th year in operation and we plan to grow 50+ different types of vegetables on ~4 acres using a combination of human & tractor power. We sell year-round through our online store and a farm stand. Our goal is to make a positive contribution to the world by farming in a way that takes care of the place we inhabit and the people we share it with.

The farm is located just a couple kilometres from the Village of Pemberton, which has great bakeries, a handful of restaurants, yoga studios, a wonderful library and more. The Pemberton Valley and surrounding Coast Mountains offer amazing opportunities for hiking, biking & other outdoor activities.
