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.

They offer a wide variety of produce and speciality foods. I have discovered some of my favorite new items through purchasing through them, and for a shop of this calibre, the prices are good too. Their delivery service is prompt in that you can select a delivery for the following day, and their deliveries are well packaged, sustainable and returnable/recyclable. Their delivery person is also really nice, which can change, but is a nice bonus. I'd say their website user interface needs some help, as things go missing in my cart without notification, but that's a minor nit to pick. The best aspect of this company is their customer service. They are very considerate of their customers - I once ordered some chips and was given a small discount after purchase because of the short shelf life. The explanation came on a little note (see photo), and I appreciated it the thought!

It was Halloween day and therefore imperative for us to get our hands on some pumpkins before all…read morethe pumpkin patches closed for the season. It was super rainy which unfortunately resulted in some attractions closed off, including the corn maze and the musician on the tractor ride. On a regular day though, for approx $15 admission it's a killer deal. Live music in the tractor, corn maze, a pumpkin, and apple are all included. I find that an overall incredible value compared to other places that charge more for effectively less.

Best blueberries in the lower mainland! We've been getting…read moreour blueberries from Bancy Blueberry Farms for at least the past 4 summers and they never disappoint. The first 10 pound box usually gets eaten before we have a chance to plan any baking or freezing, and then the second ten pounder vanishes shortly thereafter. A true family run local business in every sense. My wife and I love them! Looking forward to next year's harvest.

Don't know why not too many reviews. Every year we have been trying different farms for blueberries…read moreand came across this farm. Family run and people are great. Been buying 10 lb box of blueberry each week for the last 3 weeks. Blueberries are sweet and fresh. Will probably do one last run of blueberries before freezing them. They don't do U Pick but their pricing is very reasonable. They also have Russian garlic and other fruits on sale... minimal choices but am there for the blueberries. Will definitely be one of my go to place for blueberries.

Their little store is great (if less stocked than Westham) and they usually have farm fresh eggs. We were there on a live music weekend too, where a local one-man band was playing music while we sat by the campfire and I legit think I was in a hallmark movie for an hour.

We didn't do U-pick. Instead, we bought two flats (16 boxes total) for $150…read more One flat was shared with our friends. In the other flat, we found almost two boxes' worth of rotten strawberries, not including the many small strawberries mixed in. The rotten ones were hidden underneath the good-looking strawberries, so we couldn't see the issue when we bought them. The photo doesn't show all of the rotten strawberries because we had already thrown some away on the drive home while sorting through them. The amount we threw away could almost fill another box. We were pretty disappointed with the quality, especially considering how much we paid.

Kin's is one of the best places you will ever shop for fruits and vegetables…read more HOWEVER, stay away from the store at Tsawwassen. The selection is poor, the prices are high, and the staff is incompetent. I've had troubles here before but my recent experience has ruined the place for me. A number of things happened but here are the two that stand out: 1. A 5 lb. bag of potatoes was $2.99, but the cashier tried to charge me for the per pound price which made them over $6.00. When I pointed out the problem she argued with me. I had to walk over to the posted price and have it confirmed by another employee before she would believe me. 2. While toting up my bill, she stopped to take a phone call. It lasted so long that the debit machine timed out and I had to go through paying again. Kin's is still one of my favourite stores, but I'll stick to Surrey where everything is brilliant and never try Tsawwassen again.

This is no longer a Kin's Farm Market - It is now called Coppersmith Farm Market…read more I ran in here quickly to grab some veggies because the selection at Save On Foods across the street was not up to my picky picky produce standards. The giant pile of bright green, unblemished, fresh, and healthy looking broccoli was like Christmas compared to what I had just seen. I love finding perfect broccoli! I also grabbed some kale, apples and tomatoes. Everything looked great! It was all fresh and there wasn't any of that nonsense where you pick up an apple and see the unsightly brown bruises that were cleverly hidden by the staff. This little shop has nothing to hide! I'm rarely in the area, but I'll definitely come back if I can!

Minutes away from work, this is the place I go to for buying fresh produce. Minus the hassle of…read morebumping through people and walking through aisles and aisles to find what I want, this is a nice small place that has all the fresh veggies and fruits that I need. Products are always fresh, and they also have some good prices. Rather than paying $4.99 a pound for red peppers, I can pay $1.99 for them here. Lots of variety too. I love how they always stock my favorite Granny Smith apples, in the medium size. It's a perfect one stop shop when I want to make a salad. There's never a long line up, so I can be in and out of the place within 15 minutes. The place is clean and bright, and they always restock, so their items are never wilted or dry.

You can feed the ducks at the pond (most of the time), watch and pet the goats climbing around, and see horses, cows, bunnies, sheep and more. It fills me up with joy being around nature and animals in such close proximity to a very crowded area. The staff are kind and care for the animals impeccably, which makes this special farm feel community-focused. It's one of the local go-to spots that kids and adults equally love and enjoy.

There's paths to walk, shaded picnic areas to hide under on hotter days, and over 200 animals and birds to view. Horses, cows, chickens, peacocks, potbelly bigs, rabbits, oh and... a ton of goats. One of our favourite parts is the "petting zoo" area where you can get up close and personal with goats who love scritches. The farm hands are friendly, handwash stations are available, and parking is free. What's not to like about this place? I find it very relaxing to be amongst the animals and on a farm when most of my time is spent in the city or glued to a monitor. It really puts things in perspective. In any case, I think it's worth a couple hours of your day to stop by and say hello to some majestic animals.
