The tour is free of charge, though donations are appreciated.

Woodwynn Farms operates a year-round indoor farm market, situated in the farm’s original 1940’s dairy barn. The barn’s interior has been beautifully restored while maintaining much of its original character and features. The majority of the interior work has been meticulously completed by Woodwynn Homefulness Program participants. Come take a look at this wonderfully restored piece of Saanich Peninsula’s farming history. The market is open Tuesday to Saturday, 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
