We will be open as usually throughout the summer from August 4th - October 16th. But will not be hosting events as we had in the past this season.

Why No Events this year?
We have always tried to grow our flowers and vegetables in our U-pick without chemicals, but 4 years ago we stopped all spraying anything. As a result the perennial weeds were beginning to take over the gardens.
This Spring we moved dug up and moved 90% of our perennial flowers, which included all but one tunnel of lilies a row of iris and 4 rows of monkshood. The lilies that we moved grew very short this year and bloomed much earlier than we had expected.
As a result of all this we just will not have enough lilies to run the festival as we had in the past. Again there are still many flowers and vegetables to pick in the gardens, so we will still be open for U-pick 7 days a week once we open August 4th. We will have a limited number of U-pick Vases to purchase and fill will flowers as we have done in the past.
Our goal in 2014 is to have Canada's only Certified Organic U-pick Flower, Vegetable, Strawberry Patch & Sunflower + Corn Maze all in one farm. The road to reach this goal has not been easy, but we believe it is important to ensure a sustainable farm for future years to come.
We appreciate your patience and understanding, and believe that we still have a fantastic experience awaiting your family at the farm this year.
