This gem of a family-run farm exceeded every expectation and left us not wanting to leave. One of the unexpected highlights was Farmer Andrew's Tulip Talk -- I honestly don't know why this isn't front and center in every piece of marketing, because it was absolutely wonderful. Andrew is incredibly knowledgeable and passionate, and his talk gave our visit so much more depth and meaning. Don't skip it! The u-pick experience was pure joy. We each got to hand-select 10 stems straight from the fields, wandering through row after row of stunning colors and varieties. The farm is beautifully laid out with so many gorgeous spots to sit, slow down, and just soak in the views of the tulips against the backdrop of the Cascades. We never felt rushed -- it truly felt like they wanted you to linger and enjoy every moment. The mini Highland cows are absolutely adorable and a total delight, especially for kids. The food vendors on site were a lovely bonus -- great options for both a meal and a snack, so you can easily make a full half-day of it. What also stood out was how relaxed the atmosphere felt. It wasn't overly crowded, and the whole vibe was welcoming and unhurried. You can tell this family pours real heart into everything they do. Tulip Valley Farms is the kind of place that reminds you to slow down and appreciate something beautiful. We'll be back every spring!

Seriously made an already amazing day even more incredible. They also have a front field for photo ops, and many u-pick fields Andrew and Holly do an incredible job caring for the farm and Holly makes beautiful jewelry available for purchase.

This place is amazing. It's what the overpriced "artisinal" city shops aspire to, but it's authentic - the farmstand selling the products made right there on that very farm.

Anyhow, a gazillion years ago, when I lived in Boston, I SO wanted to visit a cranberry bog. I am fascinated by how these ruby-colored berries are grown, I am fascinated by the bogs, and I love the whole seasonal nature of the fruit (i.e., usually cooking and consuming them starting in the fall, at the onset of the autumnal and winter holidays, - typically a celebratory, happy time. For me, at least, these fruits have a strong association with the holiday season, with family and family gatherings, and traditional holiday foods). I never got to a bog in New England, and I figured I missed my chance to ever visit one. That is, until I moved to Vancouver and learned there were cranberry bogs in BC. And then I saw advertised a cranberry festival in Langley, and a self-guided tour of a real cranberry bog there. And even better: you could add on to your admission ticket a "plunge" into the bog! And my kid was as jazzed as I was to go, to learn about the growing and harvesting of cranberries and to take the plunge! It wasn't cheap but, hey, this was something on my bucket list for decades, and there was no way I wasn't going! It was worth every penny. My kid and I had SO much fun, and we also learned a lot about cranberry farming. The Bog-Riverside farm was great: easy to find (super close to historic Fort Langley and the downtown Langley area), free parking, the cutest retail store selling all sorts of gourmet cranberry treats (jars of sauces and chutneys and jams, donuts and tarts and pastries with cranberries, and BOG merchandise like t-shirts and hats, and more. You can also pick up lots of free cranberry recipe cards and magazines showcasing local farms and attractions. Oh, and they also have great coffees here too!), and all the folks working here were super friendly and nice. The self-guided tour was extremely educational, and also quite well organized, with easy-to-follow maps to the farm given to you at check-in, and various posts along the way with QR codes, linking you to audio files describing what you are seeing IRL. (The tour itself is not that long, or far in distance. My kid and I did it within an hour. You could spend longer if you want, but it's do-able within 30 minutes, too. Be sure to wear shoes that you don't mind getting muddy FYI!). Part of the tour is inside a building with an old, wooden sorting machine and various placards outlining the harvesting process, terminology, etc. But the rest of the tour is outside, so be sure to dress for the weather! Our favorite part was the plunge. What an experience! From the donning of the waders to the actual wading into the bog to the taking of goofy photos.... the whole experience was SO fun! I found cranberries in my shirt later that night hahahaha! Bonus! My kid and I laughed so much. As she would say: wholesome fun. This tour and plunge is only available on certain days and at certain times during the Canadian Thanksgiving season, so if you are interested in doing this, be sure to get tickets when they go on sale (I think a month earlier). But I believe they have tours available by appointment year-round; check on thier website for more info. Watching the actual workers in the bog, pulling on the boom, seeing the round bog rotating as the cranberries rise and are harvested, is a pretty amazing site, and it will give you a new appreciation for this little ruby red berry.

But honestly, I just want to share this place with the world because it's truly something special. Plenty of places have a "Santa" visit for the holidays... but Bellewood? They get THE real Santa Claus. The real deal. And would the real Santa charge? Nope! Free visits and free photo Saturdays and Sundays in December from noon to 4pm. And that's only the beginning. Bellewood is buzzing this time of year: Tons of apples (and they ship to out-of-state family and friends!) New spirits coming out of their distillery Unique gifts, ornaments, and goodies for everyone (lots of local vendors stuff here!) A cozy spot to settle in with a coffee and escape the chaos of the season As for me? I come for the weekend meals breakfast and lunch are always amazing. We also grab our favorite cottage pie for easy dinners when we don't feel like cooking. And don't even get me started on their frozen meatballs... lifesavers on busy weeknights and absolutely delicious. One of my favorite times to visit is early in the season or during the off-season. It's peaceful, the coffee is hot (free refills) and the view of Mt. Baker (or even the clouds) is beautiful. And the service? Simply the BEST around. Truly. Bellewood isn't just a place it's an experience, and one I'm grateful to have right here in our community.

We made our lunch orders and waited 45 minutes for sandwiches. Okay. Our drinks and bakery item weren't served. Finally got a glass of cider. No bakery item after we were all finished with the meal. After waiting in line again to inquire about the missing item I was told gruffly "I'm busy, I'll get to it". Next, tried shopping gift shop and asked when the distillery would be open. "wait, when the rush is over". It never opened. We had items we wanted to pay for but no one ever came to the register. Not a great visit. Looks like it could be great for families, if it was staffed better.
