About Us:

SunTrio Farm is a 14 acre, certified organic farm providing fresh, local produce to the Victoria area year-round.

We are located in Central Saanich, just outside Victoria, on Vancouver Island.

Our produce can be found through several box programs, and in many local grocery stores and restaurants. We can be found selling our produce at all major farmers’ markets year-round.

Find us at the market nearest you, or visit us here at the farm, where we have a self-serve store with a selection of all our available produce.

Background

In the fall of 2008, the three O’Brien brothers, Dennis, Frank, and Michael purchased a 4 acre flower farm and quickly began the conversion towards organic food production. By the spring of 2009 they were in full operating mode.

The energy-efficient main greenhouse is over 20,000 square feet. We have an additional 12,000 square feet of greenhouse space for growing a variety of salads, sprouts, and herbs, plus another two acres for field vegetables and berries.

The brothers are passionate about growing organic and reducing our community’s carbon footprint by increasing the supply of fresh, locally-grown food.
