There is also meat for sale on site. See my photos.

It's an early corn season and I've always tried to get Chilliwack corn way too late! So after…read morechecking out some popular places I came across Sparkes. Just off the road in a cute and bright little green and yellow barn. The first time I've ever gone through a 'corn drive thru'! It is $11.50 per baker's dozen (13 ears) but hey, it's local. They are open daily from 10-6pm, I came on a Saturday and the line flowed well Pretty simple and quick process, you drive up to the counter , tell them how much you want and pay. They take card or cash. I believe they also sell strawberries but I did not inquire about it. The corn is pre bagged for you so you don't get to choose. When steamed they become a rich yellow colour. Large, full kernals on each ear that burst with juiciness and sweetness as you taking a bite. If you though the corn you get from grocery stores are sweet this is next level up! The sweetness is a flavour that I can't describe accurately enough through words - just so sweet and yummy! The corn is crisp and delicious down to the core. I brought it share with my family and neighbors and they all said it was so delicious.You haven't had Chilliwack corn until you've tried Sparkes corn!

We hit a few places for a second time like this hazelnut farm. HAZELNUTS! Who knew? I certainly didn't. You can go in the shop and taste all their flavoured and toasted hazelnuts and butters (omg the honey hazelnut spread is unbelievable, not to mention the chocolate one!) and then wander down to the orchard (is it an orchard if it's a nut tree?). In Sept and Oct you can pick your own!! So cool. And only 1.5hrs from downtown Vancouver. Amazing.

* Top u-pick! *…read more We've been on a U-pick kick this summer, trying to explore the various organic options available. This farm is now at the top of our list for U-pick! Here's why: - Really feels like a family farm. A couple and their little girls were all under a sun tent waiting for u-pickers to greet you. - Peaceful. We didn't see any other u-pickers at all. It was like being in a private blueberry field! - Very friendly. The man walked us into the field and showed us where the good blueberry bushes were that were perfectly ripe and ready to be picked. None of the sending you off to the fields to search randomly for the good stuff! - Quality. The bushes are older, and produce an amazingly sweet richly flavoured berry. We enjoyed them yesterday with some of our homemade vanilla ice cream. Today they are going into a blueberry crumble - which I can't wait to sample when it finishes baking! - Ease of picking. The bushes had huge numbers of berries clumped together. They almost looked like bunches of grapes! You literally could put two hands under a clump, give it a bit of a vibration and dozens of ripe berries fall into your hands. - Farming methods. This is a certified organic farm. Not just "following practices" as many claim. Fully certified. They also are certified biodynamic. So you know it is long term sustainable. Very nice. It feels good to eat things you know have not been contaminated with pesticides, and also that are fully sustainable so they will be there for years to come. - Setting. Located in the Chilliwack Valley, but fairly close to the mountains. So you have a beautiful view of the mountains while picking. Call me crazy but somehow it didn't feel as hot as when you are in an open field with no mountains in the distance. So even though it was 28 degrees it was quite comfortable. - Price. For organic they are very reasonably priced at $2.20/lb. They took a bit off for the weight of the bucket too (80 cents) - very fair pricing. - Setup. Even though you are in the middle of a field, they have a portable water cooler so that you can wash off your hands after picking. There is a porta-potty too. But we didn't venture in there. So no comment on that! The ripe berry bushes are also covered in a clear mesh tent so that the sun still gets in, but the birds do not pick away at the ripe berries. So you enter through an opening in the mesh and totally feel outdoors, but in reality it is a semi-protected environment. The farm grows all sorts of things (carrots, beets, squash, beans, cucumbers, arugula, kale, romaine, corn, and even beef and eggs), but focuses the u-pick on berries. The other products are available from them through their farmer's market visits apparently. Overall this is just a wonderful day trip getting a bit out of the city, seeing the scenery, picking some amazingly sweet berries, and enjoying playing with the farm dog (who is very friendly as well). We'll definitely be back!

The staff at the front of the store are extremely knowledgeable about all the foods and sweets they sell straight from the UK. We all found some nostalgic treats and enjoyed the stories the staff had to tell us. There is so much to see and taste there even if you aren't familiar with the food it's worth a try. At the back of the building is a tea shop that sells scones with real Devonshire cream and beans on toast! It was all wonderful and tasted like we remember. The only downside I found was the slight attitude we got when we asked for builders tea. The waitress said they didn't sell that brand anymore. Builders tea is a way of preparing tea and not a brand. She didn't agree and insisted they don't carry it... We just said it's fine and to bring us tea with cream and sugar on the side. The museum attached to it has so much stuff to look through and learn about. A great place to go and get lost in some history while enjoying a cup of tea and some sweets!

I like this cheese shop a lot. Besides the types of cheese available, there are also yogurt, milk…read moreand eggs. My friend told me people living in the area could get their dairy products here on pre-assigned days. I love this community living. Due to covid-19, only 3 people (same party) are allowed inside the store. The washroom is also closed. You could see see the goats and kids and watch them feeding from the trough. Inside the shop, there are some local or BC products which will make good gifts or souvenirs. The sorbet and gelato are also great, especially when the weather is hot. I will suggest to have a cooler/ice box in your car if you intend to buy any cheese or milk. I did not have it and the fat/oil from my cheese truffle oozed out onto the lid of another container. Lucky it did not get any messier. But the cheese and yogurt are all good after I put them in the fridge when I got home. Nice place for a stop if you are in the Harrison Hot Springs area. And get the sorbet! It is so refreshing.

Love it! Now the cheese... internationally renowned cheese maker providing consistently high-ranked cheeses, there's a little something for everyone here. If you're not exactly into the real rich, stinky cheeses they also have more milder varieties. Alpine Gold is one of my favourites and their truffle balls are amazing. For the 2015 Farmer's Market route they offered a honey and lavender chevre pyramid that was amazing, but you could only pick it up at markets (I was able to get it only once at the shop). They also have a halloumi cheese called the Chuck Wagon that they offer seasonally. If they have some in shop do pick it up, grills up wonderfully! I could seriously go on and on. I typically make a run out to the farm once a month and stock up. Ultra organic, you can taste it in the product, offsets the price. Go there. Do it now. You won't regret it!

Everything was very flavourful. Pad Thai tasted sweet, but it was delicious. We liked all the dishes. Tom Yum soup was very yummy. Portion was just right for 4 of us. We all felt full.

We asked for medium spicy (closer to mild). - Red curry (L1) ($13.45) - rice scoop was small. Spring roll was thick, had only cabbage for the filling. Soup was homey but a touch salty. Red curry was decent. Not much pork, mostly all bamboo shoots. - Pad thai (L10) ($13.45) - sauce was slightly sweet. Bean sprouts were raw. Surprisingly, a good portion of noodles.

Totally amazing chocolate store in the heart of Harrison Hot Springs…read more In this tiny space, you can see raw ingredients turn into the confectionary delights that we all so crave! Some of the tools of the trade are out in the open for all to see, and you can watch as the fresh caramel is being poured. You will be offered samples when you arrive, but don't fall for it because that's how they hook you. The BC Opioid crisis has nothing on the chocolate overdoes crisis that could erupt if too many people get a taste of the sweets emanating from this establishment. I only wish prices were better, but remember that this store is located in a seasonal tourist trap area. So, I'm sure overhead is high and prices adjusted for the fluctuating nature of the tourist traffic. But, if you're in the neighborhood, pop on in and sample some amazing sweets!
