"There is SO much to do here. Great hikes, fruit picking, wines, spirits and food. We attended the Sunday morning pancake breakfast - food was made to order, delicious, beautifully presented and very reasonably priced. The owners are very outgoing and gracious hosts. They are dog friendly, which we so appreciate. We can't wait to visit again - hoping we can do one of the multi-course dinners with wine pairings. They sound amazing. Should also mention that the staff were incredibly sweet - great ambassadors for the business. Even the young ones are outgoing and friendly - not always easy at that age. We left with ear to ear smiles (and a bottle of wine - lol)."

"Hi I just purchased your apple wine and spirited cherries. I am not cherry fan but my husband is. I purchased for him and he 'made' me try one. WOW, they are absolutely delicious. The ideas I have to use this delicious product are endless."

"Hi there. My family and friends and I are a huge fan of your saskatoon pies! I'm not sure if you take requests but I'm wondering if I can reserve 3 to pick up at the Gasoline Alley Farmers Market this Friday Dec 22nd? I'm going to take one to a party on Saturday and we'll have two for desert Christmas day. I'm so glad you bake delicious pies!"
