Thursday, July 24
All Day Agriculture Tour
9:00 a.m. - 5:00 p.m.
This all day tour will take us to a number of places including the Krause Berry Farm, Seabreeze Farm, and Houwelings Greenhouses. We will end in downtown Vancouver, BC for an easy transition home. Our first stop is the Krause Berry farm where we will enjoy fresh berries and explore the estate winery. Krause farm started with 1 acre of strawberries in 1974 and has now grown to over 200 acres producing a variety of berries and vegetables. This farm has adopted new agricultural technologies such as the Integrated Pest Management and is actively involved in agricultural research to find the best possible farming techniques.

After our tour of the Krause Berry Farm, we will travel to Delta, B.C. to visit the Seabreeze Farm, where we can learn more about anaerobic digestion facilities and nutrient recovery systems. Afterward, we'll take a trip to Houweling's farm, a family owned, world-renowned greenhouse tomato grower. This farm is dedicated to delivering a full complement of delicious tomatoes, while continually innovating to reduce its environmental footprint. After we finish up at all the farms we will end in downtown Vancouver.

Limited availability.
