About Farming in Yarrow
Yarrow sits east of Chilliwack on the Vedder River floodplain, where rich alluvial soils support dairy forage, berries, vegetables and hobby acreages. The community's agricultural character is well established, with productive benchland and river-bottom land within the Agricultural Land Reserve.
Water draws on the Vedder River system and private wells, administered under the Water Sustainability Act. River-bottom parcels can carry drainage and floodplain obligations, so irrigation licences and drainage responsibilities should be verified for the specific parcel.
Yarrow's farm economy is small-scale and community-oriented, sharing the eastern Fraser Valley buyer pool with Chilliwack. It offers a quieter, more rural setting than the larger centres, suiting buyers seeking productive small acreages.
