In the cozy corners of South Surrey, where the air is a little fresher and the produce a lot tastier, lies the Kingfisher Farm Market—a charming, family-run oasis of sustainability and good vibes. Open every Tuesday from June to October, this market is more than just a place to grab your veggies; it’s where community spirit meets eco-friendly shopping in the most delightful way.
Sustainability with a Side of Charm
For almost 20 years, Paul and Angela Neufeld have been nurturing this little slice of paradise, proving that you can be both down-to-earth and up-to-your-elbows in compost. Their commitment to organic and sustainable farming is as deep as the roots of their crops. Think of them as the earth’s besties—they’re all about using compost, natural soil amendments, and cover crops to ensure that the land isn’t just preserved, but positively thriving. No synthetic chemicals here, folks—just pure, unadulterated goodness.
What’s in Store (Hint: It’s Fresh and Fabulous)
Held inside a rustic barn that practically oozes charm, the Kingfisher Farm Market is your one-stop-shop for all things fresh, local, and sustainably grown. Whether it’s crisp veggies, vibrant flowers, or that perfect jar of jam from Paula’s Preserves, every Tuesday brings something new to the table. Literally. And speaking of Paula’s Preserves, if you haven’t tried her jams, jellies, or juices, you’re missing out on a seriously sweet part of the local flavor.
The market also offers roadside sales, with fruit trees scattered around like nature’s own snack bars. And if you’re the type to forget your reusable bag (no judgment), they’ve got you covered with stylish Kingfisher Farm Market totes—because even your groceries deserve to be carried in style.
Community: Where Everyone Knows Your Name (Or at Least Your Favorite Veggie)
Kingfisher Farm is more than just a place to buy food; it’s a community. Several families live and work on the farm, sharing a commitment to sustainable living and responsible stewardship of the land. It’s the kind of place where regulars know each other by name, and the Neufelds are more like friends than farmers. On any given Tuesday, you might find yourself in a conversation about the latest crop with Angela, or swapping recipes with a fellow shopper. It’s not just shopping—it’s a social event.
Local Partnerships and Artisan Treasures
Kingfisher Farm Market isn’t just about fresh produce. It’s also a showcase for local talent. From the handcrafted pottery of Peach Arch Pottery to the artful upcycled frames by Pastiche Art, there’s always something interesting to discover. And let’s not forget the tasty offerings from Little Qualicum Cheeseworks and Central Park Farms—because what’s a market without a little cheese and sausage on the side?
Why You Should Visit (As If You Need Another Reason)

Well, aside from the fresh, delicious produce and the friendly faces, you’ll be supporting a market that’s as committed to sustainability as it is to community. Whether you’re after the perfect bouquet, the freshest veggies, or just a good chat, this market has got it all.
