Abbotsford Farm & Country Market

We will be attending the Abbotsford Farm and Country Market this Spooky, Saturday morning - October 31st. Please come see our booth, we will be spookdified! This is the final outdoor market of the season, and likely our last showing at the market for this season. You can still pick up fruit at the farm though. The market runs from 9 am to 1 pm in the parking lot of the Trinity United Church on George Ferguson Way in Downtown Abbotsford.

The apples we currently have are Glosters and Jonagolds. Our Northern Spy apples are ripening up nicely and should be ready in a few weeks. If you are interested in ordering any of our apples please do not hesitate to contact us. We likely will also have some tomatoes, sugar pumpkins, squash and some hazelnuts at the market.

We still have roasting chickens available for purchase, however we will not have any at the market with us, but you can order them from us at any time. These are delicious free range chickens, no hormones or antibiotics were used. The chickens were professionally processed and frozen at Ross Down Farms.

Our apples are all $1.00 per pound and our chickens are $3.50 per pound.

We hope to see you all at the spookiest market of the year!
