Agassiz Cycle Tour

Stop into the Agassiz Harrison Museum, an old CPR train station and learn the history of the community, or into the UBC Dairy Research centre to learn about their renowned research and education programs. A farm cycle tour would not be complete without a ride on a haywagon through the dairy barns, stop to chat with the goats or sit back and enjoy a slice of homemade pie with a cup of freshly roasted coffee from a 1919 fire roaster.

There will be fresh produce, exceptional cheese, organic free-range chickens and delicious blueberries to pick. Have you ever seen how pea shoots are grown? Then come on the tour and find out at the Valley’s only pea shoot family run farm.

A shopping shuttle service has been provided by Tourism Harrison. They collect your purchases from the farms and bring them back to the registration area for you to pick up.

Spend the weekend! Book soon as accommodations are filling up!

Great accommodations are also to be found in Harrison Hot Springs, from the Harrison Hot Springs Resort, to nearby Provincial and private campgrounds, to cozy bed-and-breakfasts. Find more info here.
