My vision is to find a farmer keen to use the property for an indoor nursery, vertical farming, tower farming or hydroponic farming.

This is a beautiful area to live and work in. We are warm in the winter and warm in the summer. Cowichan means "the warmlands". The property overlooks Salt Spring Island and the Pacific ocean.
