The market has played an important role in the Coombs community, providing jobs and attracting tourists to the area. It is a meeting point and a place where both locals and visitors can enjoy fresh products and unique crafts.
Coombs' Old Country Market is much more than a market; It is a cultural and tourist experience that offers something for everyone. Its combination of high-quality products, cozy atmosphere and unique attractions such as the goat roof make it a must-see destination on Vancouver Island.

It was founded in the 1970s by brothers Kristian and Solveig Graaten, Norwegian immigrants. Initially, it started as a small fruit and vegetable market, but over time it expanded to include a much larger variety of products and services.

The idea of putting goats on the roof was conceived as a strategy to attract more visitors and has remained a distinctive feature ever since. This quirk has helped make the Old Country Market one of Vancouver Island's best-known attractions.
