krause berry farms

Litte farmhouse setting that makes fresh baked goods, soups, dinner selections and lunches. Has a winery for tasting fruit wines and a great place to take out of Townes. They run farm tours when the weather is better and do have rotating pick your own berries when in season.

The best waffles around! Made fresh with fresh berries in season and if off season their home grown berries and they are NOT sickeningly sweet which at some places they can be. Great place on a horrible rainy day too! The little eatery there has blocked the wind and there are outdoor heaters. They have lots of high chairs for the little ones and when the weather is good there is an outdoor play area for the children. I take my grandchildren there at least once a week when they are open for waffles! fabulous!!

Many would not think that a December visit to a winery/berry farm in Canada would be so delightful, but it was all that ....and more!In December one cannot avoid the up-coming Christmas themed sales and though this is called a berry farm their gift shop/restaurant/wine tasting room was Christmas-y enough to suit Santa.As I was with a large group of people who were there for a pre-arranged group event I took a quick turn through the gift shop and proceeded straight on to the wine tasting event and restaurant. The food was well prepared and served promptly even with a crowd in the tasting room.Of course the main event was the wine tasting. Being a berry farm operation the wines were all berry based and the range of styles and flavours was eye-opening. Blackberry, rhubarb, apple, strawberry all artfully used to create wines that would intrigue connoisseurs or amateur. Their port was smooth, and nothing short of fabulous.As a resident of this geographical area for years I have been aware of their farm but never before made the effort to stop. I expected it was more of a seasonal store front for purchasing bulk berries. I was pleasantly surprised.This operation includes wedding venues, a fabulous berry themed gift shop and bakery that tempts you the minute you walk in. It evokes memories of all those wonderful pies, and baked goods from your childhood...along with gifts and take-home to bake products that will allow you to share your experience with others. Their outdoor eating area and collection of antique farm goods provides entertainment for the entire family. The tasting room is a special treat and if you feel like you would like to take a seat at the bar you can choose a saddle stool of your choice to enjoy a different type of wine tasting experience. The address is noted above this review and I should let you know you will need a car to get there and maybe even a GPS or at least very good directions, as it is not only 40 miles from the city of Vancouver, but parallel to a major highway, so access roads are not direct. Driving time is about 20 minutes and you could be crossing a toll bridge, so don't be surprised if you get a small bill in the mail, eventually. The toll varies but is about $3.50 per crossing....and there are other routes that avoid tolls. Krause Berry Farm contact phone number is (604) 856-5757 and the website is www.krauseberryfarms.com. I would ask about reservations if you are going to make the trip as they make every effort to make your visit special and it would be disappointing to everyone to arrive and not be able to maximize your visit.It certainly is worth the effort to get there if you are wanting to spend some time out of the city in the beautiful Fraser Valley....home of some of the best berries and produce in Canada. Once out of the city I would suggest you consider connecting with some of the other wineries in the area. I was pleasantly surprised and delighted to find these gems in my own backyard. ...something I had only experienced in Napa Valley. Frankly, once the mental fantasy of sipping wine in a California sunset is gone from your mind you may find you enjoy the Canadian experience just a little more, as I always felt a little rushed in many US winery tours. Maybe it was the season, but this was a great, relaxing experience.

From the Christmas lights, to the scrumptious waffles, Christmas music, Christmas trees, and freezers full of all kinds of pies! Any berry you can think of! and ice-creams, corn pizza (I know this one sounds weird, but I bought one, brought it home, heated it and Yum!), not to mention all their other goodies!, breads, donuts, fudge, jams, syrups, table linens, ceramics, etc, etc! It is a Christmas Shoppers Dream!It should be mentioned Krause Berry Farms is open all year round!!! You can even sign up for a cooking class with the world renonwed Wolgang!!I was there for the Christmas evening event of Christmas, and yum, the samples of food, were so good. Wander into the Winery/Bar and Saddle Up, Literally to have some wine, cider or something to munch on! Wolfgang, the chef was there on the Christmas Evening event, and I was honored to sample a fabulous soup (in a cowboys boot)!!! and an appy, which was so scrumptious!!You really have to make your way to Langley to check this place out. You definitely need to wear elastic pants!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was referred to Krause by hotel cos I needed to do some Christmas shopping and had some time, it was a pleasant surprise. They had really nice gift baskets, food items like cheeses and jams and the whole place was so Christmassy it was great

Hadn't been there for about 5 years and was impressed at the friendly people, the service, the choice of fresh and frozen berries, pies and other goods. A great bakery and the saloon where they sold wines and liquors made by their berries on the farm. I have mentioned them to others and will definitely be going there more often.

It's definitely a nice family-oriented farm!We got there around 9 am on a Saturday and it was already quite busy.The servers seemed to be overwhelmed with the amount of people ordering though so make sure to keep track of what you ordered.How it works is: you go order your choice at the entrance of the restaurant/cafe and they give you a number. The servers dropped off 3/6 waffles that we had ordered and we had to go up to remind them about a missing tea as well as our 3 remaining waffles. They were very cordial and were quick to bring our tea and missing waffles. They make their own blueberry juice which is absolutely to die for! After eating only 3/4 of my waffle I felt like I was ready to explode from how full i felt! I ordered their mixed berry-waffles(i think their corn-made) and when I saw it I was surprised at how generous they are with their berries- it was filled almost double to the size of the waffle :) Definitely a MUST TRY!They sell vegetables and fruits that are grown from their farm. The corn they had were very cheap and very very sweet.They've got a feeding and petting area for their animals. The animals range from: bunnies, chickens, pigs, a horse, goats and sheep. I heard that were were llamas, but I didn't see any there. The animals are very friendly as well as the staff that were taking care of them. I asked one of the caretakers if i could help brush the sheep and she made the experience easier by calming them down a little bit before I approached one of their sheep. Berry picking was enjoyable, there weren't much strawberries left so we decided to stick with the blueberries. If you can, bring your own bucket so that you don't need to buy one. But if you do forget, they sell one bucket for $1 and you're able to rent out a large wagon for a $1 deposit.Quite fun and enjoyable place. We will definitely come back to try the corn pizzas that a lot of people were raving about!

My parents used to live in Vancouver, and we loved this place -- dad loved the berry pie, mom loved the corn pizza (though dad and I thought it was gross), and I loved the llamas! So after 3 years away, we all drove 10h from Calgary to spend a weekend in Vancouver, with this place at the top of our list. We both brought our dogs, eager for them to experience a nice walk in a quiet grassy place. We finally got there, and saw: "NO DOGS ALLOWED". Dad asked, thinking surely this would just mean not in the food areas or animal pens, abd that there must be someplace where well-behaved dogs can sit or walk. He was curtly told by the rude woman there, "No dogs allowed, ANYWHERE on the farm!!" If they had at least indicated this on their website, and had a couple picnic tables set up outside the gates in the parking lot, we likely would have been fine, just mildly disappointed. Dad would have gone in to pick up some pie and pizza etc., and we would have happily eaten outside. But nowhere on the website does it indicate that you can't walk your dog in this dirty outdoor place -- come on, it's a FARM, not a 4-star restaurant! --and there was nowhere to sit, not even a single bench outside the gates. We were all too angry to eat anything, and left. Will never be back.

This is not a place that you can just visit for 10 minutes. Yes they have pick your own berries. But so much more. They have a cafe where they serve their pies and amazing pizza. A flower and herb garden that you can relax in. And also now a winery. These wines are all fruit wines..... There is something for every palette. Sweet, dry, white, red, unoaked or Oaked. This is a great family visit.

We've been there a couple times this summer: for strawberries, blueberries, and blackberries. Nice clean and well organized. Blueberries were particularly good. You must see their fresh pies, but even their frozen ones are awesome! Try the corn pizza: surprisingly good. Fun day for everyone! I would recommend going early, especially on the weekend. It gets very busy!

My family went there last weekend. I didn't expect much about this place since I am not into u-pick that much.Boy I was wrong. They were quite commercialized, but they had awesome food. I enjoyed their berry waffle, blue berry ice cream and strawberry fruit juice. The atmosphere was excellent.I bought some corns when leaving. Those were the best corns I ever tasted! I am taking my parents back for breakfast.Oh, and I thank a lady staff at the petting zoo for her kindness.

This is a fun place! They have all kinds of berries. They bus you from front to the fields for picking berries. They have the best pies and ice cream too! Some servers are not friendly though. But don't let that discourage you. This placeIs a must-go.

This farm is a one-stop shop for the whole family. Berry U-picks, kids play area, market, food stand (try their fresh berry pies), and even winery! Highly recommended.

I am not from the area and was travelling from Vancouver Island to the Okanagan so thought I would pick up blueberries for a number of friends and family on my way through. I had done some checking the day before with various farms to ensure availability and price. My first contact with Krause Berry Farm was via Facebook. I posted a question and within 5 minutes I received a response. Each of the questions I asked (and there were several!) were responded to quickly. The staff person was kind enough to let me know that the price might be higher or lower the next day depending on availability and offered to contact me first thing in the morning - and they did - 8:06am!I arrived at Krause Berry Farm just after lunch, enjoyed a delicious cup of soup, listened to live music, and tried some of their wine before heading over to the 'berry area' to pick up blueberries and blackberries. The staff was again very helpful - the young lady loaded all of the berries, plus some additional purchases on a trolley for me. At the check out, the cashier called for a 'carry out' without even asking me. And the young man who loaded the berries into my car in the sweltering heat was polite and very careful. He even took time to put the berry and cream cake on the front seat where he thought the air conditioning would keep it cold until I returned home (5 hours away). When I got home, everyone was thrilled with their berries. All were good size, clean and 70lbs of berries there was only a handful of shriveled or squished berries. This was my second visit to Krause Berry Farm - and like the first time, we truly felt that the experience was more than just 'buying berries'. There are plenty of places to order and enjoy a variety of food - and there are signs posted in several areas that tell you what food items are available where (winery, bake shop, restaurant, etc). The bathrooms are clean and the playground is great for children.

We had lunch and the waffles were amazing! Fresh fruit and sweets everywhere. We also did the wine tasting and the winorita was fantastic
