A recently discovered alternative to the indoors, going "outside" offers adventurous explorers exposure to things such as wind, sunshine, and the naturally occurring mazes found in corn fields. Leave the indoors with today's Groupon: for $9, you get two adult admissions to a tour at Bakerview EcoDairy on Sumas Way (a $18 value).
One of Canada's first demonstration farms of its kind, Bakerview EcoDairy engages the public while practicing sustainable, animal-friendly farming on 80 acres of land in the picturesque Fraser Valley. Founded by Bill Vanderkooi, a lifelong dairy farmer with a master's degree in animal science, Bakerview EcoDairy gives the public a glimpse of a modern, working dairy farm—complete with an interactive learning centre, animal exhibit, food market, bovine volleyball court, and more. Cows and goats live the luxurious life at this farm, where the milkers nap on mattresses and the goats climb and play Snakes and Ladders on the roof. Visitors learn about the farm's efforts to treat both the animals and their environment kindly through sustainable practices—such as using salvaged building materials and using manure to create electricity and organic fertilizer—and meet friendly farm animals, including Angel Cake, a miniature pony.
Reviews
The Bakerview EcoDairy was featured by CBC News, News1130, and the Globe and Mail:
- A preacher for healthy living, Mr. Vanderkooi saw the commodity businesses of eggs and milk and knew there was no way his own brand could succeed without some marker of difference. Using his own feed products, he developed free-run eggs and milk infused with DHA, an omega-3 fatty acid linked to a variety of health benefits, including some cancer prevention. And to further distinguish himself for sales to stores in the Lower Mainland region, Mr. Vanderkooi started his own brand, Vitala, on the premise of “natural, healthy and local.” – David Ebner, Globe and Mail
- You can now show the kids where milk and eggs really come from, as Canada's first eco-dairy demonstration farm opens up in Abbotsford – Tamara Slobogean, News1130
