Fossil Beach Farm is a professionally run, aboriginal owned, mixed use agri-tourism, orchard, and livestock farm on Hornby Island. Our farm offers unique waterfront accommodation, cider, and farm to table BBQ, set on the beautiful sunset side of the island. Come and share in our rich family farming history. Our location is truly one of a kind.
Fossil Beach Farm is seeking a food service provider or key employee for the 2024 season, to utilize farm fresh food, including the beef from our farm. Our farm to table BBQ operates May-Sept:

The previous arrangement has traditionally been a subcontracted company within our Island Health approved, basic, outdoor kitchen, with food prep being offsite in a commercial space, although we do have a small, approved prep space on site. Our previous season menu is available for review here.
