Working farm on West Coast Road since 1851 with a farm store, hay, fruit, vegetables and eggs, plus summer farm days, camps and parties.

Known for being Western Canada’s oldest continuously operated farm

1851Open since 1851. That's 175 years. Joshua Perina is one of the current owners.

Our take

The farm began in 1851 as the Muir family homestead and still produces hay, fruit, vegetables, berries and eggs. In summer it opens for farm days with an apple orchard maze, a pirate ship and hay rides, and it hosts school visits, Little Farmer camps and weekend birthday parties for up to 25. Since 2026 the Sooke Country Market sets up here on Saturdays.
