Our Farming Community
Nestled in British Columbia's beautiful Fraser Valley, Chilliwack's farming community is at the heartbeat of the region, blending generational farming and tradition with innovation. With approximately 67% of its land—over 17,000 hectares—dedicated to agriculture, Chilliwack boasts more farmland than any other Lower Mainland community. This vast expanse supports a diverse array of farms, from dairy and poultry operations to robust cornfields, fresh berries, and greenhouses. The city's 700-plus farms contribute an estimated $700 million to the local economy, accounting for 29% of its economic activity. Beyond traditional farming, Chilliwack embraces agritourism, inviting visitors to enjoy the rural charm through experiences like the Chilliwack Circle Farm Tour and adventure-filled Greendale Acres, showcasing local farms, families, ingenuity, and sharing the farm experience through education and fun.
