Three brothers. Three chefs.
One table on Vancouver Island.
This is what happens when you bring it all together.
Cortez Island oysters, fresh from the tide through @crabbybobs
Seafood from @eastwestcharters .
Lamb raised right @keatingfarmbc
No overthinking. No overworking.
Just letting great ingredients speak… and knowing when to step back.
From ocean to flame to table — this is Canadian food at its best.
Rooted in place. Built on relationships. Shared with people who matter.
Shop. Cook. Dine. Canadian.

Weekends open! 📣
Keating Farm just finalized their summer weddings… which means we have just opened a few extra weekends!!
If morning coffee on the sunny private patio before heading out to the Saturday market, a hike up Mt. Baldy or a river dip at Bright Angel park are your vibe for a weekend get away, you’re going to want to jump on this one!

A first look in the fields of @keatingfarmbc
C&S’s wedding day was a dream come true start-finish. These two smile so much around each other and their joy is truly contagious. 🥹
Your experience matters so much to us, so we have stocked the cabins and Loft with our favourite high quality and local products.
We truly believe that every detail matters, down to the cream you put in your coffee. We also love supporting our neighbors!
We hope these products enhance your experience by giving you a taste of Cowichan Valleys excellence!

Our last accommodation while seeing more of Vancouver Island was at the beautifully restored Keating Farm.
.
This was the perfect location to see more of the Cowichan Valley. The rustic charm and attention to detail in the restored Granary, were greatly appreciated.
.
Meeting George, the owner, and having a farm tour was very interesting and one just can’t imagine the years of hard work it took to bring this heritage farm back to glory! Thanks for sharing it with others.
.
We did some hiking in the area and the granary was the perfect place to come back to!

🌿 Spring has arrived at Keating Farm 🌿
The pastures are lush, the blossoms are out, and new lambs are bounding through the fields—one of the most beautiful times of year on the farm.
To celebrate the season, we’re offering a limited selection of our grass-fed lamb and pastured turkey—raised with care to nourish your loved ones this Spring Solstice and Easter.
🐑 Grass-fed lamb (sides + individual cuts)
🦃 Pastured Orlopp Bronze turkeys (26–28 lbs)
Our spring harvest is limited and always sells out quickly—early orders are recommended.
📩 To order, send us a message or contact us directly by email or phone.
Thank you for supporting local farms!

Did you know….when you book a stay at Keating Farms Granary, Loft or Creamery (or all three for the whole crew) it comes with a complimentary property tour if you so choose! This gives you the chances to learn about the whole farm operation on Keating farm directly from the lovely and passionate owners, Rebecca and George! The farm tour really elevates your stay to an experience and will leave you feeling inspired. Book your stay for February to take advantage of our shoulder season rates while they last!

A & G part deux
Emotion is a key component of wedding photography. It’s common for it to be rare when you and your loved ones are photographed truly in the moment, usually you’re too busy living to stop and take the photos - that’s where I step in.
I love to create imagery where you least expect it, to be both a fly on the wall and the hype human when desired. I’m not here to take away from the good time, but to add to it so that every photo taken has all of your favourite memories woven into them.
It’s all about also taking the photos that don’t exist on Pinterest, the ones completely personal to you and special to you.
The moment where your sister ties in your veil just before the aisle and you’re sharing one last glance in the mirror together.
The long hug you share with your father after he walked you down the aisle.
The candid moment of true laughter and awe documented of four of your loved ones on the same bench, not too fond of their photo being taken (when they’re aware) so it’s quick and silent.
The tears and hugs shared between you and all of your guests following the most heartfelt speeches at your reception dinner.
The spontaneous (last) first dance practice as the last light of day fades from golden sunset into night.
These were all memories from A&G’s wedding day that all made their day even more precious and special. It’s moments like these that keep tears in my eyes from behind the camera, to behind my computer, to all the years later looking back on all the memories forever tangibly existent.
And what a good day it was.

About last night… pure magic ✨ if you missed out, the Trail lights back up tonight at 3pm.

Our recommendation? Start early. We anticipate it being a full, festive and busy evening.
-
Don’t rush. Parking full at one venue? Pop over to another and back track. Everyone is very close in proximity. And the absolute worst case… if perhaps you run out of time… circle them on the map to revisit during regular hours leading up to the holidays and beyond! The participating local small businesses will always be happy to see you and welcome you with open arms. It’s just how we do things here in the Valley ❤️
