* Another wonderful picking season! *…read more After the wonderful experience last summer picking blueberries here, we just had to return again. The word must have gotten out a bit about the farm, as last year there were only 3 or 4 other people picking. This year there were at least 10. :) It is still a nice natural setting, that is not overcrowded at all: http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/john-and-johns-farm-langley?select=_BJxeVpwYg00MZN3b2-NuA#_BJxeVpwYg00MZN3b2-NuA The bushes had a good amount of easy to pick fruit, just like last year: http://www.yelp.ca/biz_photos/john-and-johns-farm-langley?select=gB2X33ERghSQsPQHhbyTCQ#gB2X33ERghSQsPQHhbyTCQ It also feels so nice to pick on an organic farm, as there were lots of birds and bugs, making it feel safe! We've been enjoying the berries, as they seem extra sweet this year - and he dropped the price a bit. It is only $1.80/lb now!

Went straight for the pre-picked berries versus the U-pick. There is a 10lbs box for $30 and a…read more5lbs box for 15. The blueberries taste amazing and they are apparently organic. Pint of these are easily $5-$6 at the grocery. If you're in the area this is a good spot for blueberries.

Unfortunately about every second berry still has the sticks attached, not sure how they remove them normally but pretty obvious however they do it wasnt working for them, so time consuming having to go through every single berry before granddaughter can have any, Never seen anything like it, finally went and bought other farms berries to do our baking with, no time to sit and remove sticks when a little one is racing around.

I went on a sunny Thanksgiving day so it was packed. I came here in 2020 and the farm has expanded so much it's almost unrecognisable. There's a lot of stations you'd have to queue for to hold animals like bunnies, ducks, etc. You could spend so much time here. There's also a little market for treats and drinks. Lots of places to take cute photos at!

You can feed the ducks at the pond (most of the time), watch and pet the goats climbing around, and see horses, cows, bunnies, sheep and more. It fills me up with joy being around nature and animals in such close proximity to a very crowded area. The staff are kind and care for the animals impeccably, which makes this special farm feel community-focused. It's one of the local go-to spots that kids and adults equally love and enjoy.

There's paths to walk, shaded picnic areas to hide under on hotter days, and over 200 animals and birds to view. Horses, cows, chickens, peacocks, potbelly bigs, rabbits, oh and... a ton of goats. One of our favourite parts is the "petting zoo" area where you can get up close and personal with goats who love scritches. The farm hands are friendly, handwash stations are available, and parking is free. What's not to like about this place? I find it very relaxing to be amongst the animals and on a farm when most of my time is spent in the city or glued to a monitor. It really puts things in perspective. In any case, I think it's worth a couple hours of your day to stop by and say hello to some majestic animals.

My friend had her son's first year birthday party here. It was definitely a nice place to hold a…read morebirthday party. We were not the only party that happened on the day. There are lots of baby animals to pet and feed at the farm. It was quite interesting how every animal seems to be very hungry or know what to do when they see human. Also there are no adult animals here. Guess they must have moved them elsewhere after they have grown up. The place is definitely made for kids. There is a bouncy castle setup on site. You can bring your own catered food to the party. At the party, we occupied one of the three tents that were setup. The tent was quite small and can't really hold everyone inside. We definitely had a great time. The kids at the party had a wonderful time. Free parking is available on site. If you want to have decoration at your own party, this is on your own.

And one person at the Sunflower picking field to guide us. Its my first time at a flower U-Pick field, so any guidance was helpful. They give you shears to borrow to cut the flowers There were large boards with maps on site to show the location of Sunflowers, Field flowers, and Lavender plants (peonies, lupins and hydrangeas will be ready in 2024) They had many photo opts set up: colorful benches, swings, picture frames, and even a boat! My only complain during my visit was the there was no pathway to the Field Flowers section, so walking on the dry hay and grass, scratched my legs. Also, the pathways in the field are uneven, so may not be easy for some visitors It was easy to spend an hour here, you can probably pack a snack too! Once the flowers are picked, there is a tent available at the entrance to tape the flowers, trim off the leaves prepare for a simple bouquet They have a hand wash station, portable toilets, and adirondack chairs for visitors to enjoy and relax Overall, a pretty good experience, and would recommend to visit here on a dry sunny day. I would come back for the Abbotsford Tulip Festival

Their happy hour runs from 2-5pm and includes cocktails, glasses of wine and wine flights. We indulged in a self-selected wine tasting (five, 2 ounce pours) and were so impressed that we ended up leaving with 3 bottles (2022 Rose, Stoneboat "Piano" brut, and Rosé Frizzante 2022). Colby, our connoisseur (and new BFF), was very knowledgeable and accommodating in answering our questions and offering suggestions. We will definitely be back for more wine! And also to kick it with Colby. I give them my strongest recommendations!
