Vibrant red cherries and the tomatoes had markings like it had come out of a neighbor's garden and would be bursting with flavor. This was nice after visiting another market in New West where they're trying to pass off imported carrots as locally grown when they weren't. Labels were showing. Inside the store it was well organized. Frozen foods, Asian items and fresh meat lined the aisles. Around 1:00 pm today, it was busy! I snagged the last parking spot, yay me! It must be a popular place and I can see why. Just don't expect customer service to be as good as the produce and your visit will be fine.

This is a decent place to stop for veggies, & prepared items. As it is a bit of a speciality store…read moremixed with local farm items & items from other locations. If you're like me with variable mobility days, this store is the perfect size to get in, shop & still leave before your too broken from a grocery trip in the winter. The vegetables & fruit are in the open but covered area & the rest, from speciality sweets, local products (I really enjoy grabbing That's My Jam & Hardy Honey) to a little deli of prepared items & meat choices. With a smaller store means there's limited options if you're shopping later at night. So do keep that in mind as well as that there is a bit higher cost to shopping here. I do that trade off with where my mobility days are in winter & distance to drive to the other grocery stores. There looks to be an enclosed seating area beside the deli (but I'm never there early enough to see if that's for customers or only staff), a pizza place just outside the market, beside (but associated with the market) is the cafe with delicious ice cream & doughnuts. And on the side of the cafe, a thrifting shop & outdoor area to sit. both buildings are friendly for all mobility aids entering but inside both places, I wouldn't want to navigate with a walker or wheelchair if it was busy. These places are smaller, so layout is tight. Cane users, just be aware you might need to side shuffle on the busier days & times. There always seems to be plenty of parking in the narrow but long parking lot. I also noticed people do park along the side road too. I can't say I ever see n handicap parking stalls closer to the market itself but there's clear ones by the cafe. Access off the main highway is quick & if you're on the outskirts of Duncan, this would be your first grocery option going into the city. If you're into randomly fun photo opps, there's some neat vintage tractors outside and the market is decorated with all sorts of things. Just be watchful of the traffic as the place is quite busy in the daytime. Last note. But for us disabled folks, a good heads up. I don't know if I randomly walk in the wrong doors or they really hide the baskets well, but never seem to notice where the baskets are placed. That fact itself doesn't bother me as I prefer to shop with my cloth bags being that it's easier for me to carry /I bump less things or people while using my cane & shuffling around. Plus, I avoid triggering my back pain pushing a random cart in a smaller space that often can be crowded. However, instead of ever being offered a basket to use or any help shopping, I have found myself to be subject of some very obvious watching. The last shopping experience (in fall 2025) was so beyond obvious that it reached the point being clearly cut off by staff while I'm trying to reach & look for items. Instead of ever just being asked to switch to a basket while shopping (this particular staff member seemed to have a lot of time on their hands & could of brought me one if they truly just wanted to keep an eye on what I was shopping for), I eventually was given really poor attempt of an apology at the till as I was packing up my paid items (apparently "there's a guy" that comes in randomly with the same bag that tries to shoplift & yet I had 2 bags, interacted with the few other staff & was thoughtfully choosing items from my list while moving at my very limpy pace...). Truthfully, I haven't been back since as it left a bad taste in my mouth. It's not the first time I'm profiled wrongly as a disabled person (my cane is my aid for over 6 years) but this was probably the worst level of assumption (& actions by what I think was even the manager the way he was talking). However, I have to say the regular market staff are always kind & helpful for any questions I have. Most offer to help me with searching for items if I'm standing too long in one spot (which I sometimes do for pain management reasons or to make sure my balance is ok before bending for something). Sometimes staff even get really excited about a product I'm looking at buying. The quality of premade items ranges from good to very tasty. I like there's an assortment of local, Canadian & international items. The market has a few short rows of random goods & treats in the far corner with international highlighted which is always fun to browse. They even support a lot of local initiatives, including selling the cookies from group of disabled bakers. Which comes full circle to how I'm confused to rate this place. So I'll leave it at 4 stars & I'm sure later on during my Island wintering time I'll revisit this market & add to my review.

Re: a purchase and recent preparation of squid…read more What was purchased, and how it was prepared. - two, rather large, whole squid -- purchased as a frozen product, and kept frozen. - when thawed - tentacle area (head) of each squid was cut away from the body, and body contents cleared, and thoroughly cleaned - first meal -- tentacles and pre-cooked vermicelli rice noodles, stir fried together in wok - second meal -- body tubes cut into 'rings', marinated (in canola oil, garlic, ginger, and wine), and the contents stir fried, in wok on high heat -- served w/vermicelli rice noodles prepared stove top. Results: - first meal - found the squid flavourful, but definitely a little tough. Was surprised though, the leftovers after an overnight in the fridge, and eaten cold, were sure good -- much more tender, and with the flavour I had hoped to taste and enjoy yesterday. - second meal - a similar experience - the squid looked good, though still tough after cooking - but after an overnight in the fridge, was so much more tender, flavourful, and tasty. My experiences dealing with preparing and cooking these whole, frozen squid were a lot of fun. The initial results, though a touch off the marks I had hoped for, had ended up with results so much closer, and enjoyed. The squid were really flavourful and tasty, once they had "their way" from how I had initially treated them!!

1 Star - Absolutely Horrific Experience…read more I came to GJ Farm with every intention of supporting a local business, but instead I walked away shaken, humiliated, and furious. The man in charge of the store (an older gentleman) was not only accusatory, condescending, and hostile--he was downright disrespectful, arrogant, and deceitful. I specifically visited for Red Russian garlic to plant in my yard. I've grown this variety before and researched prices for organic Red Russian garlic nearby --typically $8-15/lb depending on size. GJ Farm was charging a steep $19.99/lb, but since I was already there, I decided to pick through and purchase. I spent about 5-8 minutes selecting bulbs, carefully looking for the largest and firmest ones for planting. As I was doing so, the man approached me and accused me of peeling garlic, while repeatedly insisting that all of the garlic had been harvested this year. After I had already chosen my final selection and was about to pay, I did gently crack the skin of one bulb to confirm quality, but during selection I only examined size and firmness, occasionally through skins that were already cracked. After purchasing, I inspected the garlic in my car and immediately noticed serious defects: one bulb was shriveled, and another had white mold between cloves. Considering garlic harvest season had only ended 1-2 months ago, this was shocking. None of my own homegrown garlic looked like that. Within 3 minutes, I returned to politely request a refund. The man then came out, yelling at me in front of other customers. He accused me of lying about how long I spent choosing (claiming "30 minutes," when it was under 10). He further accused me of only wanting a refund because I "realized the price was too high." He dismissed the obvious defects in his product and insisted that because he sells "thousands of pounds of garlic," my complaint was invalid--classic deflection instead of accountability. As I stood there shaking from his aggression, he never once offered a professional solution like an exchange or apology. Instead, he ripped the garlic apart with his hands--damaging product that I had paid for--while still refusing any resolution. When I pointed out the mold, he claimed not to see any, however, he removed all the mold as he aggressively peeled the bulbs apart. He continued to insist I take the garlic home and plant it, berating me loudly the entire time. Not only did he refuse a refund, he further damaged the garlic himself, rendering it unsuitable for planting. In the end, as he refused a refund and continued berating me, I suggested an exchange simply to end the confrontation. I did not want an exchange, as I had already selected the best bulbs available and the remaining garlic was of poor quality. This was never about the money--it was about basic respect and principle. A business owner should stand by their products, listen to valid concerns, and treat customers with dignity. Instead, I was met with hostility, gaslighting, and bullying from someone who clearly has no regard for customer service or honesty. If you value quality produce, integrity, or even basic decency, avoid GJ Farm at all costs.
