The Greendale Sampler tour rounds up the must-stop visits in this little community. From fresh produce and locally made cheese and honey, to all-natural soaps and handmade pottery, the Sampler tour had a little something in store for everyone.

August 19th was a picturesque summer day in Greendale: blue skies, corn stalks blowing in the wind, red barns on the horizon, peace and quiet… the little community between Number 3 Road and Lickman Road in Chilliwack is not only a gorgeous backdrop for a summer drive, it’s also bursting with farms, artists, and an array of locally made products.

When my husband Leon and I got married, he lived in Langley and I lived in Ottawa.  Within a few months, I convinced him to move to Australia with me so I could pursue a teaching exchange. We always knew we wanted to move back to BC afterwards, but it didn’t make sense to relocate in my last years of teaching. We spent the next 3 yrs in Ottawa, dreaming of when we could make our escape. One summer was spent “interviewing” places we would relocate to once we could finally make our plan a reality.
