Canada's First
Canada's first breeder of Lagotto Romagnolo puppies
The Truffle Farm is situated in Parksville, British Columbia. It first came into being a Truffle Farm in 1999, when Betty & Grant Duckett first imported their Lagotto Romagnolo breeding dog from Italy, along with their first Black Perigord Truffles for inoculation testing.
The Truffle Farm are the pioneers of Lagotto Romagnolo breeders in Canada, and also the first known successful Black Perigord Truffle farmers in Canada. We breed Lagotto Romagnolo puppies that are available for application from time to time. We also farmΒ black perigord truffles, flowers, hazelnuts, poultry, sheep meat, eggs, and more!
Right now The Truffle Farm is a private farm, however we do sell various products to the public from time to time if you contact us. We do have future plans for opening The Truffle Farm for public experiences such as work shops, tours, and accommodations.

More Than Truffles
We are the full Truffle experience
The Truffle Farm is located in the beautiful Parksville of Vancouver Island, British Columbia in Canada.
The Truffle Farm was first started in 1999 by Grant & Betty Duckett when they retired from their regular jobs with a plan and a dream to start a beautiful farm on Vancouver Island. They were the first known Lagotto Romagnolo breeders, and imported their first Lagotto Romagnolo dog from Italy.
Now with the skills and expertise passed on through generations, Peter & Virginia Brietzke have started The Truffle Farm of Parksville, B.C. where they share the land with the Ducketts.
The Truffle Farm has a large tree farm that produces Black Perigord Truffles at the roots, and Garry Oak / Hazelnut trees are the hosts. The Lagotto Romagnolo dogs are our truffle dogs, as they use their amazing sense of smell to hunt truffles on the property of The Truffle Farm.
Our Lagotto Romagnolo dogs are carefully chosen for breeding with the utmost care for the breed guidelines to upkeep the strong history for these dogs. To learn more about the breed guidelines, please visit:Β https://www.ckc.ca/en/Choosing-a-Dog/Choosing-a-Breed/Sporting-Dogs/Lagotto-Romagnolo
At The Truffle Farm of Canada, We grow Black Perigord Truffles with the help of our truffle inoculated Garry Oak and Hazelnut trees. Our Lagotto Romagnolo puppies are trained from a young age to know this scent, and they have been trained through generations since the 1800s.
With the increasing interest in unique experiences all over the world, and especially on Vancouver Island β The Truffle Farm has a vision to open up the experience of Canadian Trufficulture to the public with The Truffle Farm.
