Rich with undulating pasture land, the farming heritage of communities across the Fraser Valley, and the legendary Fraser River, the Mighty Fraser Country lives up to its name.
The valley of the Fraser River stretches through six British Columbia communities: Abbotsford, Agassiz-Harrison Mills, Chilliwack, Langley, Mission, and Maple Ridge-Pitt Meadows.
It is these communities that participate in and make up the Circle Farm Tour, a self-guided exploration of a variety of farm houses, wineries, breweries, dairy and honey farms, open air markets, and charming eateries.
The appeal of Circle Farm Tour is that visitors can come into any of the six communities and build their own itinerary to suit their time, pace, and destination. It can be a simple day trip or a full vacation with bed and breakfast (applicable to some locations only).
The only requirements for this tour are your own transportation, a road map, and plenty of time to appreciate and explore the agritourism of the Mighty Fraser Country.
Each participating community in the tour offers a road map and brochure of places to visit. Brochures can be viewed online and downloaded from the Circle Farm Tour website, which also has information on places to stay and eat in the communities.
Some, such as the splendid lavender fields, the Chilliwack Corn Maze, and Select Roses are seasonal, while others are open year round. Most of the farms are family-owned.
