* 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!

Kind of a hidden gem for quick fruit and vegetables purchasing, probably the least busy store in…read moretheir vast empire. The aisles are tight and the cashiers are either seasoned vets or newbs that need to look up every item code. Sometimes they are missing a couple items I am looking for, but never are they out of the more staple/traditional produce. Great weekly deals that you can quickly check on their website. This is often the cheapest place for local Tomatoes. If you drive here, park across the street in the sky train/mall lot, unless you score one of the few rock star street spots right outside.

And at $13.99 for a 1 quart mason jar they are not the best buy. Sorry Grandma but I do not agree with what I was told and should have saved my money for a better pickle.

A first-time experience for us, in this rather new-to-Hope produce market. The location is very convenient for those living and lodging in this lower/central area of downtown Hope - just a short walk away from many of the motels, apartments, and such. And especially handy for anyone lodging in accommodations with kitchenettes, and seeking produce, and such to prepare their own meals. We were just browsing, and not looking for any food that had to be cooked. But daughter did catch some fresh fruit (nice looking and tasting Granny Smith apples, and bananas) while there. In addition to produce, fruit and the like, I did observe that they carry a selection of pasta and other similar products, and had a rather nice selection of honey, and other local Fraser Valley products. Service was very friendly. It was good to see a store of this kind in this area of the downtown, and look forward to checking it out again when in Hope, and our local BC products are more in-season and available.
