Who We Are
The Cowichan Agricultural Society and Farmers' Institute (CAS) is a registered, non-profit society comprised of voluntary members and directors who live and farm in the Cowichan Valley on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
The society strives to serve the needs of the local agricultural community, meeting monthly to identify and address issues of interest and concern to local farms, local farmers, and agricultural stakeholders in Duncan, BC and the surrounding communities.
Members of CAS's directorship also sit on committees in the wider community, advocating for farmers' interests at community, municipal, provincial and federal levels. For more information on our members, click here. To hear more about the benefits of membership with CAS, please click here.
