Rooted in Family: The Legacy of Quik’s Farm in Chilliwack

Located in the heart of the Fraser Valley, just off Prest Road in Chilliwack, BC, Quik’s Farm is more than a business—it’s a living farm legacy that has shaped the local agricultural community. For over three decades, the farm has been rooted in family tradition, hard work, and innovation, making it a true example of Chilliwack’s agricultural identity.

Founded in 1990 by Harry and Lydie Quik, the once-small operation has grown into one of Western Canada’s largest cut flower farms, supplying millions of stems across the region. Today, Quik’s Farm is not only a leader in the floral industry but also a shining example of multigenerational family farming in Chilliwack.

A Chilliwack Farm Story Rooted in Tradition

Values of trust, respect, and hard work have been part of Quik’s Farm since the beginning. CEO and co-owner Andries Quik recalls his childhood on the farm, helping clean freesia bulbs and pick carnations. These early lessons inspired a deep understanding of what it means to be part of a family-run farm in Chilliwack.

As the farm expanded, Andries’ brothers joined the business: Leo leading Business Development and Corne overseeing Operations. Together, the Quik brothers have carried forward their parents’ vision while staying true to their roots.

Their success is also built on strong community ties. From greenhouse growers to truck drivers, every team member plays a role in delivering “Flowers With Impact”—a mission that reflects the heart of Chilliwack’s farming culture.

Fraser Valley Agriculture and the Importance of Family Farms

Family-run operations like Quik’s are vital to the Fraser Valley’s farming economy. In fact, provincial statistics show that over 97% of farms in Chilliwack are family-owned, contributing to food security, employment, and local traditions.

Quik’s Farm supplies flowers through the United Flower Growers auction and directly to wholesalers across Canada and the Pacific Northwest. By doing so, the farm strengthens Chilliwack’s role in BC agriculture, providing both stability and continuity in an industry facing constant change.

This ability to balance community values with business success is what makes Quik’s Farm a cornerstone of the Chilliwack agricultural story.

The Next Generation of Farming in Chilliwack

The legacy of Quik’s Farm is already being passed to the third generation. Jordan Quik, son of Andries, may only be in grade six, but he’s already lending a hand on the family farm in Chilliwack. From operating the flier system to managing robotics that organize plants, Jordan is learning the tools of modern agriculture.

With an eye on the future, he envisions AI-driven flower production systems that improve efficiency across the farm. His ideas reflect how Chilliwack family farms are not only preserving tradition but also adopting cutting-edge innovations to stay competitive.

Continuing the Chilliwack Farm Story

From its modest beginnings to its current 60-acre footprint, Quik’s Farm showcases what’s possible when a family commits to farming together. By blending tradition with innovation, the Quik brothers continue to contribute to the Fraser Valley’s agricultural legacy while preparing for the future.

At Quik’s, farming isn’t just a career—it’s a commitment to family, community, and the land of Chilliwack, BC. With every harvest, the farm strengthens its place as a leader in Chilliwack agriculture, inspiring the next generation to carry forward the region’s proud farming story.
