If you are a tour operator that specializes in the business of agricultural travel or a professional group in the agriculture industry and are looking for a destination for your group to learn about farming techniques, global agriculture technology development, education and trade, British Columbia is an excellent choice.

Agriculture is a thriving industry in BC and a significant contributor to the economy. It generates over $1.5 billion at the farm gate, and over $11 billion in food retail sales. There are more than 200,000 people employed directly or indirectly in British Columbia's agri-food industry.

With fertile soil and a moderate climate, many of BC's regions are well-suited for farming a variety of products. The agriculture sector in BC is diverse and includes a wide variety of farms, such as:

  • Berry
  • Fruit orchards
  • Potato
  • Dairy/beef
  • Horse
  • Poultry/duck
  • Grape
  • Grain
  • Bison
  • Vegetable
  • Herb
  • Honey
  • Lavender
  • Ginseng

  • Ostrich

BC boasts the highest concentration of organic farms in Canada, while many farms are committed to sustainable farming techniques. There is a strong tradition of local foods and a great appreciation of fresh food products. An increasing number of British Columbians are also connoisseurs of the Slow Food movement.

Terra Tours can create a unique experience for your group, based on your specific needs and areas of interest. Let our expertise take you behind the scenes of BC's successful agriculture industry with visits to farms, orchards, nurseries, greenhouses and more. Contact us for more information.
