Sooke Country Market
Greater Victoria / T’Sou-ke
T’Sou-ke - In the SENĆOŦEN language, the word T’Sou-ke is the name of the Stickleback fish that lives in nearby estuaries. Exposure to Europeans through the Hudson’s Bay Company saw the name changed first to Soke and then Sooke.
Representing the power of community spirit.
The Sooke Country Market is a reflection of the power of community spirit. Since opening day in 1996 this small market has welcomed local food producers across various locations throughout the small municipality just a short drive from Victoria. But no matter where they set up shop, the community arrived to show their support.
A farm-focused market, visitors can expect to take home a variety of fresh food, from farm-direct produce and gourmet ice cream bars, to fresh baked breads, all while live musicians play under the warm sun at this small, but popular, local market.
We respectfully acknowledge that the land we gather on is the Unceded Traditional Territory of the T’Sou-ke Nation, Scia’new Nation, Pacheedaht Nation, and all South Island Coast Salish Nations.
This market participates in the BC Farmers' Market Nutrition Coupon Program.
