Goats on the Roof
The Old Country Market — popularly known as 'Goats on the Roof' — has been a Coombs landmark for over 50 years, growing from a roadside produce stand into a sprawling complex of grocery, deli, gift, and restaurant offerings on the Alberni Highway to Vancouver Island's west coast. Live goats graze on the sod roof from May to October, drawing visitors from around the world. Cyclists will find a full grocery section, a deli stocked with local and imported cheeses and smoked wild salmon, and a wide array of dining options including a café, taqueria, bakery, and ice cream shop.
