Our Sunday Outing to Birchwood Dairy & Driediger Farms

Birchwood Dairy - Abbotsford, BC

Alvaro thought the ice-cream was great - too big for him though.

Johnathon - Mango/Mango for his 2 scoops

Rita wondered where her ice-cream went!

Berry Picking & Purchasing at Driediger Farms!

We packed a jug of cold ice water and cups and headed out to Abbotsford to let the students have a taste of what we think is one of the BEST fresh Ice-Cream stops around! Birchwood Dairy is extremely High on our ladder of the Best Ice-Cream in the Lower Mainland. So off to Abbotsford we trekked. Once there we stood in line with the rest of the mob and waited for our tern to pick the flavors. 2 Scoops $3.75 - how can you beat that! We all had 2 different flavours except Johnathon who chose to have mango twice. there was just plain old chocolate, Tiger, Swiss Orange (me), Pralines & Cream (me) and all sorts of other flavors just waiting to be tried. We sat under the umbrella and enjoyed the ice-cream treats watching the corn grow and cars come & go too. After the ice-cream treat we went around to see all the animals. The Horse was very happy to see us - I should have brought the carrots the kids did not eat in their lunches on Friday! He would have eaten them.

We then stopped at 7 Oaks mall in Abbotsford so Alvaro could buy his new runners. It was a quick & painless stop. We then moved onto the berry picking part of our Afternoon. It was very hot and we were tired, but we wanted to have some fresh fruit for lunches & muffins and pies so we thought we would give it a try. The students all wanted to stop and we thought it would be a good opportunity to show them some of our local produce / fruit. They loved picking the fruit and we spent a couple of hours at Driediger Farms in Langley. We picked a bucket of raspberries and bought a 10 pound box of Blueberries.

Everyone had a wonderful time and it was nice to be able to show the students our Fraser Valley and all the space, trees & farming.

The Fresh Fruit was a hit and I am excited just thinking about all I am going to make with it.

Next time though - I MUST remember to wear MY HAT!

It was a great day & I am sure the students will remember it for many years to come!

Thanks for stopping buy.
