What's Happening
Enjoy local food served up by local Cowichan farmers at the 3rd Annual BBQ & Farmer's Market hosted by the Cowichan Agricultural Society.
This community celebration of local agriculture takes place on Thursday, September 16, 2010, from 4:30-7:30pm at the CAS building (5855 Clements Street, Duncan).
Enjoy a local-food BBQ dinner, buy fresh produce from Cowichan farmers, and meet local producers in a family-friendly atmosphere with live bluegrass music. Hope to see you there!
Our monthly CAS meetings have been replaced by farm tours at local Cowichan farms for the summer months. Farm tours will help member farmers share best practices in an informal, social atmosphere. Farm tour dates and locations are confirmed through the CAS member emailing list. To register as a member for the 2010 season, please click here for details.
Who We Are
