Yes! Many of our cows are very friendly and love the attention. Please park in front of the cheese shop and pop in to say hi before heading to the barns so we know when we have visitors on the farm. If you visit while our cows are out on pasture they will not be not accessible, but you are welcome to visit the young heifers, calves, and dry cows (cows awaiting the birth of their next calf) in the barns year round – BUT ONLY ON THE DAYS THAT OUR STORE IS OPEN. PLEASE NOTE: our farm is only open to the public during store hours (Thursday – Saturday from 9:30 – 5:00. We kindly request that you respect this rule; we try to keep the bulk of our tractor and other busy farm work to no-visitor days to ensure your safety as well as allowing us to do our work unimpeded. Thanks for your cooperation!

Please do not open any gates anywhere on the farm and avoid all areas that are fenced off for your safety.

We ask that you do not feed our cattle; this could jeopardize their health and their organic status.

Please move calmly and slowly around the animals and avoid startling them with sudden movements or loud noises. We are firm believers in quiet and calm animal handling and our cows are accustomed to this. If you’d like to pet a cow, stretch out your hand slowly to see if the cow is interested in being touched; if she backs away, try again with another cow. Some are more friendly than others and welcome your soft and gentle touch.

You can also visit our donkey Gus, George the Pig, and our small herd of chickens in the pasture behind the cheese store.

We are part of the self-guided Fraser Valley Circle Farm tour. As such, our farm is open to the public to visit (and see the animals) during our store hours: Thursday – Saturday from 9:30 am until 5:00 pm. Please note that our farm is CLOSED to the public at all other times.

We do also occasionally offer farmer-guided tours of our farm. These are usually offered on Saturdays during the winter months when we are not as busy with farm work. Stay tuned to our social media channels or sign up for our email newsletter to receive notifications about when registration opens for these tours.

Depending on our work load, we also can sometimes accommodate bus tours. Please email info@creeksidecreamery.ca for pricing and scheduling.

While we do love hosting school field trips, our schedule on the farm is very full, and we are not able to accommodate any field trips at this time.

Yes, you are welcome to bring your friendly, leashed dog around the outdoor areas of our farm. Please note, we have three unleashed farm dogs on the property. Dogs must remain under owner’s control at all times and are not to enter any cattle pens or pastures. Please clean up after your pet.

Our older black Labrador Retriever is Mya. Her daughter is Gypsy, and Lola (the yellow Labrador) is Mya’s half sister. All three dogs are exceptionally friendly, and you’ll usually find them hanging out in front of the cheese shop waiting for all the pets from our customers. The dogs have free range of the farm and help to keep our mice population under control as well as deter any potential predators like coyotes and bears from looking for a chicken snack.

We have a healthy cat population on our farm; they also help with rodent control. As an organic farm we are prohibited from using poisons and pesticides and so our dogs and cats help to keep our farm pest free. Most of the cats are fairly wild, but two are more friendly: a tabby named Pizza, and an orange and grey calico named Summer.

1. Enjoy the scenic drive to the creamery. Watch for plentiful wildlife, such as waterfowl, bears, salmon, otters, and more.

2. Meet our animals: we have cows, calves, chickens, pigs, and a donkey, as well as our friendly welcoming trio of dogs. When you visit, feel free to wander the farm to meet the animals. Please be aware that we are a working farm; at times there may be machinery moving around the farmyard. We ask that you keep your distance from moving machinery and keep your children within arms reach at all times. PLEASE NOTE: our farm is only open to the public during store hours (Thursday – Saturday from 9:30 – 5:00. We kindly request that you respect this rule; we try to keep the bulk of our tractor and other busy farm work to no-visitor days to ensure your safety as well as allowing us to do our work unimpeded. Thanks for your cooperation!

3. Watch the cheesemaker working through the window into the cheese make room behind the store (Thursdays only)

4. Pick up your favourite cheeses and a farm-fresh latte (year round) or scoop of gelato (seasonally) in our cheese shop and browse the wide range of other local food items, farm house style décor, Creekside merch, our own grass fed beef, and more. Don’t forget to fill a bottle of milk at the milk dispenser before you leave!

Our farm is primarily family run. Johannes takes care of the bulk of the farm work, with Julaine in charge of office work and marketing and our children pitching in with milking, chores, and field work. We also have 2 part time employees. We are a very small team but from time-to-time we may have a part time opening. If you’d like to submit your resume, you can send it and a cover letter to info@creeksidecreamery.ca and we will keep it on file and contact you in the event that we have a job opening.

The work we do can be dangerous with the operation of large equipment and livestock, and for that reason we don’t accept volunteers on the farm.
