Blossoms and Beer at the Abbotsford Tulip Festival and Field House Brewing

Abbotsford has been growing rapidly recently, and the city is attracting many new and very cool businesses and festivals! We recently ventured out for the Abbotsford Tulip Festival (which runs until May 1, 2016) and stopped in for some craft beer and a locally sourced pop-up dinner at Field House Brewing.

The area is known for its farmland, and while the Abbotsford Tulip Festival is seasonal, many farms and attractions are open year round; check the Circle Farm Tour website for touring suggestions.

Be sure to mark your calendar for August 19, 2016 when the Applebarn at Taves Family Farm opens for the season and plan a day in the country.

The newest brewery is Field House Brewing, which offers a variety of seasonal beers and a gorgeous tasting room.

Bonnie Friesan and her efficient crew, Faspa and Co Caterin, the brewery, and the chef worked together to produce a well-paired dinner at the brewery using local and seasonal ingredients.

The long table was beautifully set using local foliage.

Beets, spinach and ricotta.

Local duck and fiddleheads!

Delicious rhubarb!
