Little Valley Farm
Farm Project Description
The Little Valley Farm Co. is a boutique, organic farm operating on a 5-to-20-acre footprint in Kelowna, BC, specializing in gourmet mushrooms, berries, culinary herbs, and year-round, high-margin microgreens. By combining larger-scale outdoor cultivation with controlled-environment indoor setups for the mushrooms and microgreens, the farm ensures consistent, high-value weekly yields regardless of the season. The business maximizes profitability through a diversified sales model, supplying high-end farm-to-table restaurants and local farmers' markets, while securing steady upfront cash flow through Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) subscriptions and small-scale agritourism.
