About Red Barn
The Red Barn Story
The Red Barn Market started as a simple local farm stand at the site of our current West Saanich location in 2002. In 2009, the Red Barn Market was purchased by a group of local entrepreneurs that shared a passion for providing their customers with the freshest local products, friendly service and a dedication to the communities they serve. Since that quiet opening in 2002, the Red Barn Market has grown into 8 stores in Greater Victoria with over 450 employees and our very own dedicated Smokehouse.
Philosophy
Our philosophy is simple: We support Island grown, Island raised, Island made by providing fresh, locally sourced food whenever possible. Red Barn Market is proud to support our community and local food economy. We focus on providing our customers with the highest quality foods available with a market fresh, market friendly experience. Our Philosophy of healthy eating and living starts with the recipes that we create for our delicious Smokehouse products. We use only the freshest of ingredients and no fillers to ensure the finest quality.
Local
Red Barn Market is 100% locally owned and operated. We support our local vendors by carrying Island raised poultry, and produce when in season. Our grocery aisles are stocked full of locally made honey, ice cream, kombucha, soups, as well as locally roasted coffee, island made tea, baked goods and much more. We are always looking to our local vendors for new, healthy and innovative ideas. With 7 locations in Greater Victoria, we’re either in your neighbourhood or a short distance away. Stop by and check us out. There’s always something new at the Red Barn.
