Are you ready to have some fun on the farm?
As we are not able to host a large gathering this summer, we have come up with a U-pick fruit farm outing for our CHN families. We will send you a certificate that your family can use at one of the fruit farms listed below. These facilities are operating under COVID guidelines.
Celebrate the summer season with your family and enjoy a special day out of the house! Then send us some photos of your family fun for the newsletter!
Wishing everyone a safe, sunny summer!
Lower Mainland Families
Easy-to-pick strawberries, bouncy pillow, and ice cream! Best to go in June or early July.
To get your certificate please RSVP to Sam at saitken@childrensheartnetwork.org.
Update: Sadly, strawberry season is already done. The certificate can be used for picking raspberries in a couple of weeks and later in the summer for blueberries and blackberries. There will be a small second harvest of strawberries in August. You can follow their Facebook page for updates.
Vancouver Island Families
Fruit Forest Farm in Cobble Hill
U-pick berries, apples, peaches, figs, heirloom tomatoes, and cherries!
Easy-to-pick fruit (no ladder, flat ground), with ducks, ducklings, and hens foraging under the orchard. Certificate is good through the whole summer; check out the calendar on their website to see when items are in season.
To get your certificate please RSVP to Sam at saitken@childrensheartnetwork.org.
