I've been going here for years and I like it every time. The new robotic Miller is pretty amazing.

It was a good experience visiting the dairy farm. I am a UBC student and visited this farm with my classmates last week. It was very useful to learn how a dairy farm is managed and how the cows are milked and it was one of the most interesting experience among all the field trips UBC has provided.

Just an addition to the comment by Celestina below. If you have a person in a wheelchair, you don't just say, "well, everyone else enjoys the stairs so much, so we won't ruin all their fun by putting in a ramp." You put in a ramp. Our daughter is disabled by her fear. If you have a child like that, you don't say, "well, everyone else enjoys the dog so much, we won't ruin all their fun by putting the dog away for a bit." You put the dog away for a bit. Which is exactly what you did in the end, we're told, after you told my wife you wouldn't and after she was forced to leave and destroy the experience for my daughter. And your response here is to "thank" her for her comments and then tell her basically, "come back when your daughter gets over her ridiculous fear of our beloved dog." Wow.

I went with my daughter as part of a preschool group this morning. My four years old doesn't like dogs, so she was scared as soon as we arrived (quite contrary to my two years old who was petting the dog). I understand that when you go to a farm, you are going to be with animals. I had prepared my daughter for that, and she was excited to see the cows, but nothing could make her feel better after she saw the dog. I asked the owner's wife to see if its possible to keep the dog away, and she plainly told me that the dog is part of the program. I got the message that she's not going to help. So I no choice but to leave. Not a good experience as I thought that just because my daughter was afraid of dog (no matter how friendly dogs are), she couldn't enjoy the tour. I totally understand the importance of a dog on the farm, but at least a small cooperation from the owner or his wife could have helped settle my daughterI don't even want to give any star as I was unable to see or enjoy anything while there, let alone feel welcome :(.

Very informative tour. The owners are 4th and 3rd generation Dairy farmers who run this Dairy centre with the intention of public education. You get to see all the different types of milking techniques (including a voluntary system with a robotic arm) and even try milking by hand yourself! It's a great place to take friends and family for something interesting and educational, out of the city but still accessible. The visit was lots of fun thank you!

Have taken our two boys out there for the last 4 pumpkin and Christmas tree seasons, and will keep going back until the end of days :)
Mark (on the big green John Deere tractor) is great with people and especially kids. This year he let our eldest ride on the tractor with him, and then swapped spots and let him drive it for a bit (all while watching all was safe of course!!)
The pricing on their trees and pumpkins is extremely fair, and instead of standing in a line at Ikea you can feed some goats, pet the very very large pigs, or hang out with a horse. They have jams and other baked goods for sale that are homemade and taste great!! The staff has always been friendly, which is surprising sometimes because 95% of them seem to be under 18 years old. Positive kids/adults that seem to have fun being a part of that farm.
Definitely recommend, just don't tell too many of your friends, I want the pumpkins to be there when we head back next year!
