Farm Tours

Join us for an opportunity to learn more about our family farms! Chris Souto will show you around our Alberta property. You'll learn about how we plant, how we grow, how we pull, our sustainable growing practices, our packing process, our BC farm, and our store location. This is a great chance to learn more about our operations, and about where your food comes from!

Tours are ~2 hours in duration and are offered at 11am and 1pm on Saturday and Sunday

Pre-registration is requested

*Farm tours will require walking/standing for long periods of time. Tours are family friendly, and great for children of all ages! Please note that we will be covering our store, lot, and field - so there will be rocks, gravel, and uneven terrain. Strollers and walkers are manageable, at personal discretion. Tours are not wheelchair accessible, but our store location itself is.
