Birchwood Dairy

We were out in Abbotsford for the day and decided to swing by for some ice cream. I got Bordeux Cherry and BF got a double scoop of Raspberry Cheesecake and Raspberry Chocolate Truffle. They were tasty and well-​priced for homemade ($ 3.50 for a single scoop). I loved how many chunks of real cherries were in mine, but BF was disappointed that the Raspberry Cheesecake didn’t have enough raspberry and no chunks of cheesecake. (He really likes the CheeseQuake Blizzard from Dairy Queen, which has little chunks of cheesecake).
We wandered around a bit as I wanted to see the calves, but were kind of disappointed by the lack of signage. BF searched on his smartphone to find out why the calves were in tiny little pens, because there was no one around to ask and no signs explaining the process. I

Stopped by here on my way back from Harrison Hot Springs. It was the perfect end to the perfect summer day outing. We went kayaking, power boating, relaxing on the lake with dinner afterwards… then went for yummy ice cream on the way back!
I got the black raspberry cheesecake ice cream and was in love. It was creamy, smooth, and not too sweet.
We came here because my friend wanted to try the peanut butter cup ice cream flavour but alas… they ran out of it that day. Travesty! She was so sad but perked up when she saw there were 4L pails of it in the back freezers. She said she will be back with a cooler to truck it home.
I can see this being a good outing for a family because they have other farm stuff there. There is a self guided tour with an awesome free petting zoo. The lambs, goats, cows, etc were all so tame! And friendly. (Maybe they were looking for us to feed them, I dunno. They got excited when my friend started waving his ice cream over the railing at them.) It’s also a cute area just to hang out. They have swings, a slide, and some old tractors on display.
All in all, I would say I would go back. Next time, with a cooler so I can buy their milk and more ice cream! :)
