Begin your day in Downtown Abbotsford at Oldhand Coffee, where delicious beverages and warm hospitality set the tone for your visit. With a freshly brewed coffee in hand, you’ll be ready to follow the trail from small-town streets to country roads where Abbotsford’s Handmade & Homegrown story truly begins.
Next, head to Lakeland Flowers, where spring arrives in waves of colour. Following the Abbotsford Tulip Festival season, lupins and peonies stretch across the acres of land surrounded by mountains, inviting you to slow your pace and breathe it all in. Take your time wandering through blooms and don’t forget to capture lots of photos and videos!
When hunger calls, stop at Seasons Farm Market, where farm‑fresh ingredients take centre stage. Their delicious, handmade sandwiches are perfect for a casual, satisfying lunch which are made even better knowing you’re supporting local growers and producers with every bite.
Spend the afternoon at the nearby EcoFarm, where Abbotsford’s agricultural roots are brought to life through a self‑guided or guided experience. Wander the grounds, meet the farm animals, and see a working farm in action.
It’s a hands‑on reminder that Abbotsford’s farm‑fresh identity is deeply connected to education, sustainability, and the next generation.
As evening settles in, head to Field House Brewing Company, where Abbotsford’s farm‑fresh heartbeat is felt in every pour and plate. Built on a “field to fist” philosophy, Field House goes beyond sourcing local through Field House Farms, they actively reclaim and steward farmland within the Fraser Valley, growing ingredients specifically for their beers and kitchen.
Their farm team works hand‑in‑hand with their brewers and chefs to plan seasonal crops, ensuring that what lands on your table (and in your glass) is as fresh, intentional, and creative as possible. Every sprig, stem, and harvest is used thoughtfully, celebrating the land while minimizing waste.
Whether you’re gathering around long tables, settling onto the beer lawn, or enjoying a seasonal dish crafted from ingredients grown just down the road, Field House captures the spirit of Handmade & Homegrown like few places can.
DAY 2
Calibre by Cannon Estate Winery
Start day two with a relaxed brunch at Calibre by Cannon Estate Winery, where spring mornings are best enjoyed slowly. Set among vineyard views, Cannon’s brunch celebrates seasonal ingredients and thoughtful preparation, pairing well with estate wines or a classic mimosa. It’s an easy, indulgent way to connect with the land, the moment, and good company.
After brunch, set out to explore local farmstands, that are sprinkled throughout the Mt Lehman community discovering spring flowers and fresh produce straight from the source. With bouquets tucked under your arm and the scent of the season in the air, this is Farm Fresh at its finest.
For lunch, make your way to Restaurant 62, a cornerstone of Abbotsford’s farm‑to‑table dining scene. With menus that highlight seasonal ingredients and close relationships with local farmers, every dish reflects a commitment to Handmade & Homegrown excellence.
Before heading home, stop at local farm markets like Howard Wong Farms, Lepp Farm Market, The Egg Store or Neufeld Farm Market to stock up on fresh produce, gourmet goods, and locally made favourites. These final stops are about bringing Abbotsford’s farm‑fresh experience with you long after your visit ends.
Spring in Abbotsford isn’t just about where you go — it’s about how you feel along the way. It’s the warmth of a coffee shop, the colour of a field in bloom, the satisfaction of a meal made from the land nearby.
Rooted in Handmade & Homegrown, this is Abbotsford in spring.
