Lepp Farm Market & Clayburn Village

Lepp Farm Market is a picnic lover’s dream! They carry a variety of locally raised meats, Mt. Lehman cheeses, and many premade meals that are ideal for an impromptu picnic. In a rush? Stop by the Farmer’s Table Café to see their take away lunch menu or grab a sandwich to go. After grabbing everything you need at Lepp Farm Market, head down the street to the historic Clayburn Village area to enjoy your feast. This quaint community makes the perfect backdrop for an outdoor meal. There are two grassy park areas for you to enjoy in Clayburn, one across from the Clayburn Village Store, and one beside the Clayburn School.

Singletree Winery

On the rolling hills of Mt. Lehman is where you’ll find Singletree Winery and their fabulous picnic space. The best part? It’s fully licensed! That’s right, you can stop by their tasting room and purchase some local meat, cheese, and crackers and enjoy it with a bottle of Singletree’s award winning wine! With both lawn space as well as picnic tables available this is one of Abbotsford’s hidden gems and the perfect place for a picnic style date night.
