Cowichan Valley Farm and Acreage FAQ

What types of farms are common in the Cowichan Valley?

The region is known for vineyards, equestrian acreages, mixed farming operations, and lifestyle acreages. Smaller hobby farms and rural residential acreages are also common.

What should buyers check before purchasing rural property here?

Confirm water supply, septic systems, road access, zoning and ALR status, plus any easements or covenants on title. Independent inspections and professional advice are recommended.

Can I operate a farm-based business or agri-tourism venture?

It may be possible, but rules vary by zoning, ALR regulations, and local bylaws. Always confirm with the Municipality of North Cowichan, the CVRD, or the Agricultural Land Commission before proceeding with business or tourist accommodation plans.

This is general information only and not legal, financial, or construction advice. Verify all details independently before removing conditions.
