About Us

Laughing Apple Farm is a 160 acre organic farm on Salt Spring Island, British Columbia. The farm was originally homesteaded in the 1880s. We are the second family to farm it. We (Brian Swanson and Mary Laucks) have owned our farm since 1997. We feel that we have a responsibility to produce food for the community. We believe that locally organically grown food improves and sustains the health of the community. Producing local organic food enhances our environment, reduces our reliance on oil, and creates a sense of community.

We sell apple juice, berries, vegetables, honey, hay and firewood. We follow the Canadian Organic Standards and we do not use pesticides or synthetic fertilizers on our farm. We believe that by growing a diversity of crops and leaving some areas forested and uncultivated we will better preserve the health of our crops, wild habitat for other plants and animals, and views of open rural land for the community.

Come and enjoy our produce!
