The atmosphere was buzzing with excitement due to the fall's pumpkin's arrival.

If you want to know where Jerry and Nancy farm, ask them! They will invite you by. I have yet to take them up on their offer. The price is more than a grocery store, but the convenience of the size of the chicken is worth it. Everything is fresh, you don't always need a pre-order. They have stuff ready to go on delivery day. I happened to try the salmon which was sashimi grade and super delicious from a partner supplier that they buddy up with in Tofino. If less than 5 star rating has you wondering... don't! Help raise their ratings by giving it a try. We might have chicken tonight. It's a great freezer filler, and I love getting their emails that tell me about their upcoming deals. This week they are overloaded with chicken! So you better get some to at least try something a little different on the BBQ this summer!. Thanks Jerry and Nancy for your hospitality, and your amazing meat!

They also have guys that make the wine called meaders! They have tours as well for school groups, and probably adults too if you ask!! I love it here and will be back for sure!!

They also have different flavours anf kinds of honey that were all superb, they even had chocolate honey! We purchased mead and wine from them before,which were quite sweet, but were great dessert beverages. On our recent visit we bought some creamy unpasteurized honey, hand salve, honey lip chap, mini soap, and bath bomb. The honey is great, just love how creamy it is. The hand salve is amazing, it works great with my fiance's extremely dry hands and I just love the honey mint fragrance it has. The lip chap is great as well, it would be better if it actually tasted like honey, but it's still superb. Both the mini soap and bath bomb were both amazing as well, the soap we bought uses Saskatoon berries and smells really fruity (which we love). We didn't get to do the bee tour since we had other appointments, but we definitely recommend visiting the shop for all your honey cravings!

First time I've been to a Farmers Market indoors. This place majorly reminds me of Granville Island…read morePublic Market in Vancouver. It really has that same kind of feel. Indoor place with lots of food vendors and different knick knacks selling here and there. I ended up at Analog Coffee. It's a favorite of my friend whom I was visiting. I had a Hojicha Latte and we shared an Almond Croissant. Amazing how full a person can get on one drink and half a croissant. There are so many different options in this place. Wish I'd had more time, room in my stomach and room in my wallet to try more but this was the morning of my last day in Calgary. The one stall that really peaked my interest was a Vegan stall that had all sorts of Vegan options including frozen ones that you could bring home and put in your freezer. Frozen vegan Congee really caught my attention. I don't know anywhere in Vancouver that sells that! The stall was called Hearts Choices. They were offering samples of their product. They all seemed to be Thai flavors of soup and sauces. Everything I sampled was sooooo good. Wish they would open up in Vancouver. I was really curious about their frozen congee. If I lived in Calgary I would have definitely bought one and brought it home with me. Oh, I really wanted to try their Vegan Mac n Cheese but it comes with a slice of toast and there was no room in my tummy for all that as I'd already filled up on Hojicha Latte and Almond Croissant. I also saw a crepe place in the market that I'd have also loved to try and well...lots of other stalls as well. So many interesting food options here. Gonna have to spend a bit longer here next time!

Turn left and head south on Powderface Trail for 2 km and you'll reach the Christmas Tree Cutting Lot. Watch for the JFW signs along the route! Parking lot with someone there from 9AM - 3PM Saturday and Sunday. You can also go outside of these hours. You just park on the road and they have envelopes and a drop box for payments --------------------- This weekend, I went to the Junior Forest Wardens Christmas Tree Lot! It was a lot of fun and if my money's gonna go somewhere, I'd like to it go help a kids do whatever the heck it is that Junior Forest Wardens do. It's not a tree farm, but a plot of land that has a bunch of spruce and pine trees on it. Because of the natural, thickly forested setting, the majority of the trees grow right next to other trees, leaving them quite full on one side but almost barren on the other. It could be useful if you want to save some space... just put your have naked tree up against the wall! if you want an extra plump, bushy Christmas tree over anything else, unless you're an expert tree hunter, you might have better luck at one of the pop up tree lots around town. But what it does bring is an unquantifiable amount of joy to this experience is doing it yourself. Our tree is kinda spindly, but in an adorable kind of way. I'm sure we'll hang some garland and tinsel around it to fill it in a bit, as well as strategically place ornaments to plug of the empty spaces... But most importantly, it's ours! Unlike any boxed Christmas tree it will be a personalized conversation piece... even if that conversation will most likely be "What the hell is that thing? The drive from Calgary is an enjoyable length of journey. If you have kids, they'll feel like they're driving out the middle of nowhere, but it doesn't take so long that they'll be bored out of their tree. (See what I did there?:D) They have people at the hut until 3PM, but you're also able to go later. There are envelopes and a drop slot to place your cash and they even accept cheques. It's a fun time! Note: you're only supposed to take the Pine trees and leave the Spruce alone. I didn't realize this until I went up to the hut at the end to pay. I totally cut down a spruce tree. I'm sorry, Junior Forest Wardens, it was dark.

First of all a huge shout out to the staff here, they are pleasant, so well informed about their…read moreproducts and the pride of working here really shows in their faces. This is one of the most beautiful produce stores I have ever seen in Calgary; polished cement walls, glass walls and urban industrial shelving, makes this place the biggity bomb. They have everything here, jarred jams, chillies, and pickles, they even have kitchen accessories and glassware. They have a great coffee paraphernalia area; plus a stainless steel kitchen with an island in the back where they perform cooking classes. I was mostly impressed with the frozen food section because here you could buy yourself wild game meat. There is buffalo and elk, a wonderful array of pre-prepared meals like lasagne and pizzas, and there is even tiramisu and different types of pies. I myself bought for Valentines a pre made pear, pine nut and gorgonzola cheese pizza and a fresh mini apple pie. I also came away with a natural home cleanser that is made in BC that is scented with 100% pure essential oil blends. It is naturally effective and is plant based and biodegradable, my home now officially smells like coconut and peppermint, which makes me want to clean all the time. Everything is super fresh , the packaging is ultra sleek and you are buying great quality food, CRMC, is associated with four restaurants in the city, one being the chic Cilantro restaurant that is right beside this seductive store.

I have visited the CRMR at home store a few times now and they are really nicely stocked with all my favourite gourmet foodie treats, with a heavy focus on in house made (or next door made as the case is with Cilantro) and locally produced goods. But I think by far the best thing they sell their is the meat! which is naturally grass raised bison and elk ranched just outside of Calgary. This past weekend we decided to make a quick little trip out to Candian Rocky Mountain Ranch (CRMR) and took a walk through the buffalo and elk yards. While we really don't eat much meat at all, the meat we do eat MUST meet very specific criteria before I consider exercising my vote as a consumer and make a purchase... It must be naturally + humanely raised, free of hormones and antibiotics, it must be local, and most importantly I really like to meet the farmers and just talk with them about their farming practice, and when possible I like to go and see their operation for myself, And that is exactly what we did on Saturday. Seeing the animals was really great for all of us. And helps reconnect you with your food cycle. It was a really refreshing visit, and a reminder to me (ever the pessimist) that some people are really raising animals in environments which are contusive to healthy living, for both the end consumer and the creature who is turning solar energy into food energy for us to enjoy + be nourished by. And the best part... it tastes great!

Cobbs Adventure Park in Calgary AB was definitely a great and fun place to visit !!!…read moreIt is a mix of zoo, activities, games and rides for the kids and family, a little restaurant and sweets stand :) The zoo is a bit of an animal farm with two capybaras, kangaroos and wallabies, sheep, goats, pigs, porcupines, emus, chickens / roosters and a turkey, and a sloth. Part of the experience is that, with the purchase of tickets, you can go into the capybara enclosure and meet the capys, feed and pet them. We are big fans of capybaras, we saw them in person at the Edmonton zoo, and follow many accounts on Instagram, but this was our first time meeting and petting them. They are super relaxed and super friendly. We had the opportunity to feed them fruits and greens, which was so funny!! We then visited the kangaroos and wallabies. Both were friendly, soft and used to humans. We visited with them, and fed them foods. We visited and interacted with the sheep and alpacas, which were also nice to see and pet. The staff of the park were very friendly and professional, and answered any questions visitors would have about animals. The ambiance was very nice - visiting with the animals, having a snack or busy with the games, it was a great day to enjoy the outdoors and animals!!

Each section is so beautifully and thoughtfully done! The website says: Welcome to Granary Road. The founders of Granary Road are local Calgarians with kids just like you. 2 years ago we struck out to build a wonderful destination for the whole family. Granary Road is a rich life experience for everyone. Mom, Dad and Grandparents can sip coffee from the Bakery while musing over fresh organic produce in the public Market or nibble on something delicious from the Bistro while the kids explore the adventures of an Active Learning Park the likes of which Alberta, and maybe North America, has never seen before. There's so much to do... ...in a place that has found the perfect blend of nostalgic ambiance and thrilling fun. We've thought of something for everyone: * The Market at Granary Road is a friendly, upscale market that is charismatic and eclectic with first class vendors from 30+ different product categories including our fresh produce vendor who grows vegetables in our on-site green house just steps from where they are sold. Granary Road is set in an intimate, newly constructed wood clad building that replicates the charm of a traditional granary and echoes the pastoral beauty of the rolling foothills that surround it. Closely modeled after a Sonoma Valley winery, the Granary Road market features brilliant natural light and spectacular views. * The Bistro, Bakery and Bar at Granary Road are the flagship centerpiece of the market offering market and park goers a broad range of delicious baked goods, casual dining and refreshing wine, beer or cocktails. * The Active Learning Park at Granary Road is filled with acres of imaginative, energetic learning experiences for kids of all ages. Giant animatronic frogs, bats and spiders greet visitors as they walk 3 kilometers of trails connecting 11 different educational and heart-pounding fun exhibits. Each stop is based on an animal, insect or agricultural theme with an interactive learning component and an exciting activity like a 16' foot web climber that has a giant wolf spider at the top or a 4-story bigger than life ant farm with an obstacle course in the tunnels or an echolocation bat maze where kids navigate using sound plus many other great experiences. Your family will want to come back again and again!
