* 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!

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!

I mean you do that and their store will be wiped free of goods.
