The summer season in Canada is fast approaching, but the cool temperate climate prevails just before the end of spring.
In Langley, British Columbia, farm tourism draws many families for a weekend of pure fun and relaxation in a naturally beautiful outdoor setting and al-fresco dining.
Many family-owned and operated farm destinations exist in Langley and the Fraser Valley. Still, I got fascinated with the countryside ambiance of the Krause Berry Farms and Estate Winery.
The Berry Farm is a 200-acre property open to serve the public in 1974. Since then, they have enjoyed their bountiful harvest and served it to their guests and visitors.
Just half an hour's travel from home, we had our breakfast having their famous waffle with fresh strawberry toppings and cream. That's a fresh-picked strawberry in their field, and we had our own U-picked experience in the vast area.
Depending on the season, they also produce other berries like blueberries, blackberries, and raspberries, which their loyal customers patronize for the best culinary offering and U-picked experiences.
The beautifully landscaped lawn and garden are perfect for a great outdoor dining experience, with a raspberry field on a backdrop adding up to the berry farm vibe.
Then fresh strawberry picking followed, which was a wonderful experience since their berries were sweet and delicious. We carefully picked the big and riped strawberries for takeaway. Parents and their little kids enjoy picking experiences, and everyone seems happy to touch the soil and the earth-grounding experience.
The Krause Berry Farms has over a hundred products they produce on the farm and sell in their home and garden market. They have a bakery where they make freshly-baked products like berry custard pies and cookies.
Fresh berry waffles are served in their waffle bar indoors, which you can enjoy in their garden or a patio for a beautiful outdoor ambiance.
The best farm experience happens when the owner cares a lot about making sustainable farming be enjoyed and shared with the public. The Krause Berry Farms have been producing crops sustainably and supporting and serving communities for several years, making them influential and a leader in the farm tourism industry.
A great week starts with envigorating thoughts, nourished by healthy food and enriched with a soulful experience. That's the way we do it as we journey to the valley at the Krause Berry Farms and Estate Winery.
