About SKT Farm Market
An independent food shop off the Luckakuck Way strip.
The word market in a Chilliwack business name usually means something. This one trades in Sardis, off the Luckakuck Way strip, which is the closest thing the city has to a run of big boxes and sits between Cottonwood Centre and Chilliwack Mall. Most produce retail that deals directly with growers is out on the flat instead, on the roads through Greendale, Rosedale and Yarrow. Choosing the retail corridor means being found by people who are already out shopping rather than by people who set out for a farm store.
Food retail here rewards that kind of business more than it would in most cities of this size. The supermarkets are all national and so are absent from this directory, but the municipality contains 17,000 hectares of farmland and more than 700 farms, agriculture accounts for close to 30 per cent of local economic activity, and there are twenty-five or more food processing companies in the valley. Chilliwack is also the largest dairy producing area in British Columbia, with poultry and greenhouse growing behind it. What that adds up to on a shelf is a short distance between a field and a customer, and a stock list that changes with the season instead of pretending not to.
SKT Farm Market publishes a website, which is the useful detail in this record, because it is the one place where what is actually in the store on a given week can be posted. No phone number is listed here and no street address either, though the postal code will bring a map close enough. Hours are not published anywhere here either. Nothing in this listing describes what is stocked or where it comes from, and in this trade both of those shift through the year, so the website is the thing to check before setting off with a fixed list in mind.

The twelve Chilliwack neighbourhoods, and what each one is actually like
The City defines twelve. Three of them hold two thirds of the population and almost all of the shops. Here is the honest version of each.

Chilliwack eats in three separate places, and only one of them is obvious
The drive-throughs on Luckakuck are the visible half of eating here. The interesting half is downtown, out on the farm roads, and in the strip plazas nobody photographs.
