Fickle Fig Farm Market

Year-round farmers' market, bakery, and bistro, featuring seasonable, sustainable, local & organic farm produce and products from North Saanich, BC.

Our Story

The dream to create The Fickle Fig Farm Market began in 2013 with a small 5-acre boutique farm. We sold our produce at a farm stand on the Lochside Trail in Saanich BC, and at the North Saanich Farmer’s Market and the Sidney night market. We raised hens, pigs, sheep, goats, honeybees, and grew a variety of fruits and veggies. Fast forward to 2016 and our dream truly grew to fruition when we found a permanent home on Mills Road in North Saanich. We took over an old nursery and converted it into a full kitchen, market, bistro, cafe, bakery and gelateria. Soon after a little pico-brewery came on site, the perfect haven for a pastry chef and farmer by trade.

Today the Fickle Fig continues to offer the most unique farm to table experience focusing on local meats and produce in its ever-rotating daily menu.

  • They make THE BEST treats here! I keep trying new options and everything I eat is just scrumptious! My favourite are the almond croissant and the lemon meringue bars but I picked bread pudding tonight and it’s too yummy! I had to share! I also love the varied lunch sandwiches and the take home macaroni and cheese is the best I’ve eaten!

  • Came here on a recommendation from a friend to try it out while driving out to Victoria from the ferry terminal. A nice quaint shop with a good selection of pastries, bread, pies, and sandwiches, as well as some local products ranging from meat, to skin care products, candles, jam, honey, and more. Ending up getting a sandwich and some pastries and they were very yummy! Would definitely recommend to everyone to take a detour in Sidney to the Fickle Fig.

  • They have a smaller outlet on Beacon Ave in Sidney, which is just a few steps down the street for me. Everything they have is good quality, but I'm giving 5 stars for the gelato - lots of amazing flavors plus always at least two sorbets. Would not be out of place in Italy.
