Abbotsford Handmade and Homegrown

Abbotsford, we’ve known for many years how delicious you were, as we’d often hit the farm markets, and dine at the well ahead of its time farm to table restaurant,  Restaurant 62, plush also with locally sourced, BC Wines. When back in Vancouver we’d source our vegetables and meat from the area’s farms. In recent years Abbotsford has added even more to its already abundant offerings, including wineries, brewers and additional farms and dining establishments. Tourism Abbotsford‘s new awareness campaign, Handmade and Homegrown kicked off to showcase just how plentiful the harvest is this year, and we celebrated with dinner in the vineyards.
