Guide to the Pemberton Farm Stand Tour: What You'll Find Along the Way
This self-guided tour takes visitors beyond the grocery store and directly to the growers, makers and families who make Pemberton such a vibrant agricultural community. No two visits are ever quite the same - what you'll find depends on the season, the harvest and a little bit of luck.
Here's our quick guide to what you can find by exploring the region on the Pemberton Farmstand Tour.
Hot Tip: Rent an e-bike from Cruz Family Farm to explore and adventure through the Valley!
Fresh Produce Worth the Stop
If you're visiting Pemberton in the growing season, expect your spare bags to fill quickly. Thanks to the valley's fertile soil, we have an abundance of fresh produce farmstands to stop at and get fruits and vegetables straight from the fields. Skip the supermarkets - this is the best it gets.
Depending on the time of year, you'll discover:
Spring mix salad greens and kale
Tomatoes
Garlic
Potatoes - LOTS of potatoes
Pumpkins
Herbs
Strawberries, raspberries and blueberries
Orchard fruit
Eggs
Local honey
Each farm offers something a little different.
Farmstands to stop at for fresh produce: Blackwater Creek Orchard, Collins Cross, Cruz Family Farm, Devine Gardens, HappiLife Farm, Helmer’s Organic, North Arm Farm, Plenty Wild Farms, The Beer Farmers, and Willowcraft Farms.
Pemberton Meat Co. stocks homegrown, antibiotic-free, and ethically raised beef, pork and poultry and can be found in Pemberton and Birken.
Tip: Bring a cooler if you're planning to visit several stops—you'll want to keep all those farm-fresh goodies cool for the trip home.
A kaleidoscope of colour: fresh flowers
One of the up-and-coming areas of agriculture in Pemberton is the incredible variety of locally grown flowers. The flower season starts in April with tulips and daffodils, and continues into the summer with peonies, dahlias, snapdragons, and so much more.
The Flower Wrangler is famous for growing more than 95 flower varieties, including over 1,200 dahlias, and even offers U-pick bouquet experiences, while HappiLife Farm, Belle Acres Flower Farm, The Beer Farmers and The Palomino Mercantile all offer beautiful seasonal bouquets.
There’s no reason not to have a beautiful bouquet in your home when there are so many options to choose from all Summer long.

Because the tour is seasonal, every visit is a little different. Spring brings plant starts and tulips, summer bursts with berries and flowers, while late summer and autumn showcase potatoes, pumpkins, squash and hearty harvests. Some stands even remain open year-round with meats, root vegetables and pantry staples.
Whether you're filling your kitchen with local flavours, picking up the perfect bouquet, searching for a handmade keepsake, or uncovering a vintage gem, the Pemberton Farm Stand Tour is an unforgettable way to experience the heart of the valley—one farm stand at a time.
