Summer is Here!

Summer has finally arrived, and the trees are looking great. :)

We will be starting to pick our Sour Cherries very soon. These will be available for $3.00 per pound, and we have very limited quantities.

After sour cherries we will be picking our Crab Apples in August. These little apples are perfect for jams, jellies, spreads, desserts and wine. They will be available for $1.00 a pound.

Following the crab apples our highly coveted Gravenstein Apples will be ready. These apples are available for $1.25 per pound, we highly recommend pre-ordering these apples as we sell out very quickly.

Our Bartlett Pears will also be ready in August. These will be available for $0.75 per pound.

Available right now are our free range roasting chickens!! These delicious chickens are fed a top quality, locally produced feed, have access to outside pasture and are given no antibiotics or hormones. The chickens are available for $3.50 a pound, and the average size is about seven pounds (although we have some smaller and larger available). These chickens are very delicious, and work perfectly for beer can chicken on the bbq!

Once again this year we will be offering U-pick blackberries and U-pick hazelnuts. We will be posting more information regarding these events later in the summer.

Garside's Fruit Farm does offer a delivery service. For the Abbotsford/Mission area the fee is $5.00 and no minimum order is required. For Greater Vancouver/Area the fee is $20.00 with a minimum order of $20.00. If you make a $100.00 or more order your delivery is free!
