Description
Come and join us as we visit Birchwood Dairy Farm which consists of a dairy farm, processing plant, and Ice Cream Parlor. The farm has 220 acres of land where they milk approximately 120 cows. Enough hay and silage is grown on the farm to feed the happy cows all year long. Sandwich and soup with ice cream dessert included. Following the farm we will be stopping by the Tretheway House, a House was built in 1919 for B.C. lumber baron Joseph Ogle “J.O.” Trethewey. President of the Abbotsford Lumber Company, J.O. was responsible for leadership of the company during the company’s boom years in the 1920s.

NOTE: The nature of the activity is such that you may interact with other people who are considered to be in good health, continuous physical distance between other people cannot be guaranteed, and, by participating in the activity, you are at risk of being infected by a pathogen, including but not limited to SARS-COV-2. SARS-COV-2, which causes the disease COVID-19, may exacerbate other health issues and is the cause of an ongoing global pandemic. SARS-COV-2 is highly communicable and dangerous. If you become infected with SARS-COV2, you may transmit it to other people even if you are not exhibiting symptoms of illness.
