Meet Brian & Lia

The story of how a café, a fixer-upper and a love of sea salt led to Clever Crow Farm.

Our Story

From café owners to Black Creek farmers.

  • 1995Brian and Lia McCormick moved to the Comox Valley. They were part owners of the Bar None Café for seven years and owned a fixer upper on twelfth street, in Courtenay.
  • 2012They started making sea salt and spice blends, which unbeknownst to them at that time, would lead them to a whole new life.
  • 2014They took a leap of faith and bought 5 acres in Black Creek. Starting with a blank slate, they have created a prosperous, healthy home, called Clever Crow Farm.
  • TodayThey grow lots of leafy greens and veggies, and operate a bustling farm store full of culinary delights.

“This farm should be on your ‘must visit’ list, while on Vancouver Island.”
