2. Emma Lea Farms
📍 2727 Westham Island Rd, Delta
Heading north down the main drive on Westham Island, you’ll find Emma Lea Farms. With u-picking opportunities for berries in the summer and sunflowers in late August/early September, Emma Lea allows you to enjoy the fresh air, get a little exercise, and feel like you’re doing some work for your bounty. Remember to pack your reusable grocery bag, as their farm stand offers bulk fruit, as well as local fresh jams, honey, baked goods, and pickled veggies.
The Emma Lea Ice Cream Shoppe is a dream for twist cones, smoothies, and milkshakes created with freshly picked berries grown on-site. Check in with their social media sites for news on food trucks like @breadandcheese and @skythai, which often park farm side for hungry pickers to indulge.
3. Cropthorne Farm
📍4362 Tamboline Rd, Delta, BC
Westham Island farms are a beautiful sight. With their prairie-esk landscape offering fertile soil full of lush crops, ocean breezes, and distant mountain views, they remind us of the origin of our food and what sustains us. Cropthorne Farm is a family-run business on Westham Island producing a myriad of organic vegetables – too many to list, but we’ll start with potatoes, zucchini, onions, peppers, lettuces, and arugula. While on Westham Isle, the third stop on our farm hop itinerary takes you to their Farm Stand for fresh cut flowers, organic vegetables, and of course, a sense of the life and community that’s ever present in Delta farmlands.
