Babette is first again! You might remember her as a needy triplet with a red and white striped coat a few years ago...now a mom of two boys. #ficklefig #ficklefigmarket #ficklefigfarmmarket #ficklefigfarm #ficklefigbakery #ficklefig #lamb #bclamb #bcfarm #yyjfarm #yyj #northsaanich

Good morning! We are back at it for our last weekend before our short seasonal closure. 7am - 6pm today and tomorrow. Then we wish you all a happy new year and excited to see you again on Friday January 08, 2020 at 7am after a bit of rest!

I’m definitely in the love category when it comes to fruitcake! Ours is basically an almond pound cake with candied rum fruit in it, and a rum/vanilla/almond glaze. Down the hatch! #ficklefig #ficklefigmarket #ficklefigfarm #ficklefigbakery #ficklefig #nofilter #northsaanichbc #yyj #yyjairport #yyjbakery #yyjeats #yyjfood #fruitcake #holidaybaking #fruitglacé #rum #vanilla #citron

I find myself saying, That happened THIS YEAR? a lot...certain events seem so long ago. We’ve done sooooo much in one year...phew. Now it’s time for a little rest. We are open the 26th and 27th, then closed till the 8th of January (don’t worry I’ll remind you again later). I cannot thank you all enough for the love and support. It got a little scary there for a minute the beginning of December, but we put our heads down and got the job done. We look forward to 2021, with to...ns of hope and excitement with the YYJ Airport and Sidney locations to add to the Mills Road family. We do all this not because we are greedy or rolling in the dough (pun)...but we see opportunities to bring our community local food and produce. Self-sustainability and food sovereignty have been core principles in what we do, and we look forward to doubling-down in 2021. Wether you’re with family, or alone for this holiday season, we wish you all the best, and look forward to seeing you again soon. This rose is from our garden in summer, and called Love...and it’s what we all need to do more of in 2021. Thank you all again, and happy holidays from all of us at The Fickle Fig Farm Market.

Come in or phone ahead to pick up our bread pudding made with our own pastries for the base to make the lockdown a little more comforting. Did we mention its topped with a house made dolce de leche?

It is with our amazing customers and staff in mind that we have decided to temporarily close our dining room for seating as of Monday, November 23rd.
