The Farm House Natural Cheeses, Agassiz, BC

This is cheese from happy cows and goats. The cows and goats are allowed to grase in a relaxed atmostsphere. This is a family owned and operated farm that sells direct to the public. I bought Country Morning cheese, Gouda, Fromage Fraise (pepper cheese). The cheeses went very well with the Scarlet wine from River's Bend Winery. Hot fresh home made bread, fresh cheese from happy cows & goats, and a very good red wine in a swing on my balcony with a beautiful woman, over looking Minoru Park. I now know what a perfect moment feeeeeels like.

Limbert Mountain Farm, Agassiz, BC, Herb Plants

Limbert Mountain Farm, 5493 Limbert Road, Agassiz, BC. Claude’s great grandfather purchased the farm in 1902 and the mountain that is adjacent to the farm is named after his great grandfather. Claude was a stunt man in the movie industry and now he and his wife runs the farm, restaurant, and gardens. They specialize in herbs and organic gardening. You can buy herbal plants & vegetables from the knowledgeable owners of the farm. I bought a lemon Verbena herb (smells like lemonade when you rub the leaves) and a Genovese basil.

JD Farms, Specialty Turkey, Langley, BC

As I was traveling between wineries I came across a turkey farm that sold their own farm raised products. A quaint small Bistro, Deli, and store where they sold frozen turkeys, turkey pies, Jalapeno turkey stick (my favorite), berry jams, and pickled vegetables. JD Farms is family owned and operated at 24726 – 52nd Avenue Langley, BC. I have returned several times to trade with them. Definitely worth a stop.

Wine purchased at The Fort Wine Co.

We purchases a blackberry wine 18% alcohol, a raspberry wine 16% alcohol, a blueberry wine11% alcohol, and a red cranberry wine. The cranberry wine has an 11% alcohol content and I plan to mix it with Sprite, 7UP or Canada Dry Ginger ale. The wine ranged from $16 to $20 per bottle; however, some of the bottles were only 375ml. Most wine bottles contain 750ml of wine. The hostess was well informed on the history of the farm and knowledgeable very about the wine she served and I plan to return to this winery in the future.

The Fort Wine Company, Fort Langley, BC

Located at 26151 – 84 Avenue, Langley, BC. This winery started out as a cranberry farm supplying cranberries to Ocean Spray Company. As the economies changed in both the US and Canada the owners of the farm decided to try making wine. They soon learned that cranberries is not a good fruit to make wine from and has since migrated to other berry wines.

River's Bend Winery, Surrey, BC

May 24, 2009
British Columbia wine tour in Surrey. My first stop was the River's Bend Winery at 15560 Colebrook Rd., Surrey, BC. They have a large selection of Reds, Whites, and Blushes. I purchased 5 bottles of wine from Jacquie our host at the wine tasting. The wines that I purchased ranged from $10 to $22 Canadian and there was no charge for the tasting. The wines were the blending of several different grape varieties that had a smooth and soft taste. You do not need an aerator to drink these wines. Definitely a winery I plan to visit again in the future.
