Simon is our Valley’s Permaculture Mushroom Guy! With many years or learning, wild foraging and Earth repair experiments he is our guy! Want to take a nature hike, learn about the plants and what to look for so you too can harvest a bounty of beautiful Oyster Mushrooms or other kinds?

Simon also has created perfect condition chambers for home grown mushrooms that produce hand sized Portobellos and other edible and wonderful mushrooms. At Earth Day he will be demonstrating log inoculation for mushroom growing and will have them for sale too! (YES please!!)

ImagePure Life Paddle Boards will be joining us at Earth Day! 

With lives becoming more fast paced and it becoming increasingly difficult to disconnect ourselves from work, stand-up paddle boarding is the answer. As one of the fastest growing sports in the world, paddle boarding allows for you to step onto the water and reconnect with family, friends and the environment itself.

It’s more than a sport or an activity. It’s a lifestyle….

Pure Life Paddle Boards wants to do everything it can to help ensure the aquatic environments we enjoy so much are properly taken care of. For this reason we have committed to donating a percentage of all sales to local environmental organizations like the Living Oceans Society and the David Suzuki Foundation. 

Discover pura vida and experience the pure life! I love Paddle boards they are so much fun , and better yet they are in our Valley!!

Forstbauer Natural Food Farm

Forstbauer Family Natural Food Farm with by joining us at Earth Day on Saturday!!! We are so lucky to have this amazing local family run farm in our Valley!

Founded in 1977 the Forstbauer Farm is a Certified Organic Farm in Chilliwack British Colombia, farmed using Biodynamic Principals and Certified through the Biodynamic Society of British Colombia (Demeter).  Mary and Hans Forstbauer were pioneers in the early Organic farming movement 30 years ago and are still farming with integrity and passion.  They raised their twelve children on the farm and many of them are still involved in the farm today, and several have organic farms of their own.

Healthy Food From Healthy Soil… What does this mean? We farm with the purpose of providing you with food that is not only of great quality & flavour, but also of great nutritional value. We farm with the understanding that the life & health of the soil is vitally important to insuring that the food we produce has everything it needs to fuel our bodies.

I have heard that this wonderful family just might be giving away some gifts at Earth Day Fraser Valley 2013… but don’t take my word come see for yourself!

Make sure to find him on the grounds during the day, my family is so excited to laugh and be amazed!!

Birthday/Children Shows

Chicken Kung Fu
Erik, the silly sensei, will teach you the wonders of the world’s least-known martial art: chicken kung fu! Includes a special appearance of Che Kan Wing, Erik’s feathered sidekick.

The mad scientist, Dr. Smarticals, has created the greatest invention of all time! Now if he could only figure out what to do with it…Balloon Animals - From monkeys to pirate swords, Erik has learned to make them all! Balloon animals are enjoyed by everyone, from toddlers to geriatrics. Seriously, who can resist a balloon ladybug?

Make-Your-Own Magic Wand Kit - This kit is perfect for the magic lover! Inside are the paints and materials needed to make a magic wand, plus a cool magic trick. While the birthday child does receive one for free, others are for sale. These will be for sale at Earth Day Chilliwack!

Welcome to Smits & Co.w!

Smits & Co.w is a small family owned and operated farm and cheese making business. They take the milk from a mixed herd of Holstein and Brown Swiss cows and use a traditional method to produce an excellent gouda style cheese. We love this place, we get to meet the farmers and They do not use preservatives or colouring in their cheeses!

Their selection includes mild, medium and aged plain as well as flavours such as cracked black pepper, onion, onion & garlic, cumin, fenugreek, stinging nettle, chilli pepper, Italian and Greek spiced. And always creating new incredible flavours!

Come visit their unique little store on the farm and enjoy old fashioned hospitality, maybe even listen to someone playing the piano!

They are open Thursday, Friday and Saturdays 9am-5pm. 

We also carry a selection of original Dutch foods and some other products to compliment cheese.

For your special occasions we will be happy to make a beautiful gift basket or cheese platter. Below is a basket options:

*Contents of basket may vary

Cheese platter – prices depend on weight and type of cheese chosen. Please contact us for retail and wholesale orders.

We absolutely love Smits and Cow and are so happy they are coming to Earth Day Fraser Valley 2013, this is a booth you will want to make sure you swing by and grab some amazing cheese, and later on visit their cute farm shop buy some eggs, cheese and pork!
