Old Farm Market - Koksilah, British Columbia

We stopped for lunch on a holiday (so it was super busy) and had a BLT and a chicken focaccia sandwich from the deli inside the market. Matt was fantastic to deal with and the quality of the sandwiches was incredible! The best bacon we’ve ever had! We will definitely be back!

Great place for fresh produce, both fruits and veggies. The products look to be in great shape, are well presented and clean. Staff is friendly and knowledgeable. I can't speak to price comparisons as its not appropriate to compare international conglomerate purchase power to a small, local business. I can, however, suggest that the quality here, by far, surpasses what I'm seeing in the Supermarkets.

Don’t have lunch here if you need to eat in a hurry. This is me giving them a second chance since last time I waited 40 minutes for my sandwich and had it refunded on the end. Today I’m already waiting 30 minutes and was promised 5 minutes.
Increasingly bad service! It’s now 2:21…and no sandwich. Well, I just got a refund again since at 3:31 they could not find my order and said it might have been given to someone else. The person making sandwiches had disappeared. Wow …twice now!!!! Terrible service!

Update…. Chris and Tanya did respond to my email and are going to correct the wait times for sandwiches and I am happy that they responded which shows that they care about their business. Kudos 👏🏼

I have been a loyal out of town customer for over 20 years however I only went there when I was in the area for something else. Now I am going weekly to buy the majority of my fruit and vegetables.

The quality of your produce is outstanding. My partner has also shopped there but until recently he didn’t realize how much better the quality is and how much lower the pricing is compared to the chain grocery stores.

We also enjoy your in house baked breads and deli offerings.

Recently we were there to provision our larder and observed the fellow putting out fruit. He was so careful with each piece to inspect for bruises or damage and if he saw anything, it did not get put out for sale but rather it was placed I a box aside.

Your pricing makes it worth my while to travel from Ladysmith almost weekly to pick up all of my produce.

Examples from my local store of why I am now traveling to Duncan is the celery is broken, bruised and scraped. All of the potatoes in a 5 lbs. bag are bruised and leaf lettuce rots from the middle. These are not things I experience at your store and I soooo appreciate it! Then there is your pricing. I save $2.00 on celery, $1.00 on green onions, $2.00 on a 3 lb. bag of onions, $3.00 on a loaf of in store bread and so on it goes. It pays me to travel to Duncan to buy my produce for your pricing not to mention how much less spoilage I have.

On top of all of this, your staff are lovely, patient and kind. I can honestly say I have never had a bad experience nor abnormal spoilage. Thank you, by shopping at your store my finite dollars go further and with quality.

Old farm always great produce and prices and usually great services
But today 2 cashiers were having a conversation while one of the cashiers was checking me out.
She didn’t skip a beat to acknowledge me, just threw my receipt in my box and turned to continue her conversation with her coworkers.

Went on a Saturday,,,most outside the store produce was on its last legs. Dates on produce
Old. Went to pay , the fellow who was the cashier, didn’t bother cleaning the filthy counter and proceeded to run our groceries through
We paid and he turned away and didn’t even offer to pack our groceries. I’m wondering how lazy can you be. I don’t work for them.
Customer service is pretty sad.
And I WAS a customer. The prices are insane, Always passing huge increases on the products
Oh by the way they scanned a product wrong. Of course it was more expensive.
I will go to Thriftys etc

Who wouldn’t recommend 2 for one ice cream? The only addition I would love could be a few dairy free / vegan options 🙂. They call the sherbet ‘low dairy’ at the moment.
The store is mostly local produce when in season. The Produce and Deli is in one building, the ice cream, coffee shop and gifts are in the next building. Bread, eggs and dairy are mostly local. Some vegan options in the dairy and cheese section.
