Woodside Farm Days are back for the summer, with fresh food, farm animal visits, garden walks, hayrides, an apple orchard maze, a pirate ship playground and plenty of space to slow down and enjoy the season.

These farm days are a loved outing for locals and visitors alike, especially because the Sooke Country Market Sooke Country Market is hosted at Woodside Farm on Saturdays too. Come for local produce, baking, crafts and market finds, then stay for a full farm day.

Woodside Farm Days run every Saturday from now until September 26th, 10 am to 4 pm. The Sooke Country Market runs Saturdays from 10 am to 2 pm at the same location.

Local tip: tickets for Farm Days are available online (check out the Woodside Farm website for tickets) or at the door while supplies last, so booking ahead is the best way to guarantee your spot.

Save this for your next Sooke Saturday.
