About Us
Sea Dog Farm is nestled behind Centennial Park and is a short walk to the Saanich Fairgrounds. We grow a wide range of fruits, vegetables, berries, herbs and cut flowers. We also have free range hens for eggs and alpacas for wool. Only certified organic fertilizers are used and no herbicides, pesticides or rodenticides are ever used on the farm.
We purchased our 5 acre farm in early 2017 as a foreclosure. Once an immaculate, award-winning kennel, the property had fallen into a state of extreme disrepair and the home didn’t have working heat or septic.
With help from friends and family, we cleaned up tons of garbage, cleared blackberries, tamed laurel hedges, and restored the orchard. In addition to adding fruit and nut trees, we have added blueberries, raspberries, strawberries and beneficial plants and have built over 100 raised beds in which we grow produce and flowers.
