FRESH
FARM PRODUCTS, VEGETABLE AND FRUIT STANDS IN AND AROUND VICTORIA
Victoria has some wonderful opportunities
to obtain fresh vegetables and fruits.
Make sure that you check
to see what's in season. The following guide will help you find these
special locations.
The operators of most of the businesses in Greater Victoria have produced a guide where you can connect with each of the businesses listed below: There are mnay other businesses as well in their guide. I have had trouble maintaining the list, so I now just link to Island Farm Fresh. The guide is located near the top right of the homepage and it is a downloadable pdf file. |
