All Parts

Part 1
Agassiz

10.82 km - about 0 hours 22 min

Start with a visit to the Agassiz-Harrison Museum and Visitor Information Centre (7011 Pioneer Ave), housed in a former Canadian Pacific Railway Station circa 1893. Learn about local history and inspect old agricultural equipment displayed on the grounds.

In summer, picking up cobs of sweet Chilliwack corn is a must. Look for the bright green and yellow barn at the Hwy 9 turn off to Agassiz. And from January to early May, choose a bright bouquet from the tulip stand (1694 Tranmer Rd). During the annual tulip festival in April (Chowat Rd, Seabird Island), fields of colorful tulips pop against a mountain background.

Between Agassiz and Harrison Hot Springs

11.47 km - about 0 hours 21 min

Canadian Hazelnut (6682 Lougheed Hwy) celebrates this favourite nut in all forms: fresh, roasted, candied, chocolate dipped, or ground into flour, oil, and spreads. Walk the orchard for a self-guided tour or U-Pick during September and October.

At The Back Porch (6116 Golf Rd), sip coffee roasted from a 1919 flame roaster, pick up Russian Red Garlic in season, or browse pottery made on site, while at The Farmhouse Natural Cheeses (5634 McCallum Rd), sample and purchase artisan cheeses and dairy products.

Part 3
Between Agassiz and Harrison Mills

15.21 km - about 0 hours 19 min

Tasty Chicken Farm (1800 Ashton Rd) raises turkeys and chicken naturally over 2ha/5ac of open, grassy fields. They are fed organic, non-medicated food and can be purchased in May, July and September.

Near Harrison Mills, Kilby Historic Site recreates rural life in the 1920s on a heritage farm. Tins of vintage products line the walls of the 1906 general store, and farm animals are tended by the costumed interpreters. The home-style restaurant serves hearty soups, locally roasted coffee, ice cream and more.
