Log Barn 1912

This place is hilarious. You start getting bombarded with advertising on hwy 97 about 100 km away from this place. After driving by this place for years we decided to stop in. It’s worth a visit just for the goat walk! These goats are so funny and as soon as they hear the food jingle in the can they come looking.
The rest of the property has lots of fun stuff… dinosaurs, giraffe statues, petting zoo, horses etc etc. once you make your way into the actual «barn» they have lots of food. It’s WAAAAAY over priced and you can get half the stuff at a grocery store for half the price.
Go to this place (especially if you have kids) just once for the goats!

We were driving to Kelowna from Calgary and about 20 minutes before Vernon, we started seeing signs for the Log Barn, a lot of signs! The place was very well advertised. They appeared to have delicious pastries according to the billboards, so who were we to drive by? As we approached, and pulled in, our only reaction was «what is going on here?»
There was indeed a log barn, but the décor was something else! There was a petting zoo, goats everywhere including on a road spanning bridge as you drove in, gardens, figures of animals, and even dinosaurs all over the place! There is a lot happening décor wise, you can’t help but smile as you take it all in.
Once we made out way past the bears and dinos, we got into the log barn and discovered what appeared to be everything from sausages, jerky, sweets, sauces and spices completely home made. It was evident that it was all done by a Mennonite community. The Mennonite’s are new to me since coming to Alberta (and BC), but I have quickly come to trust them to make amazing food!
We decided to just look at the Log Barn passing through to Kelowna, but we stopped on the way home and picked up a number of things. Prices are by no means cheap, but everything there is home made, with good ingredients, so I don’t mind paying for that!
I was speaking with who I believe was the owner who told me a bit about the place, and the fact that 10 Sundays through the summer, all proceed went to Ronald McDonald House charities, so that is incredibly generous and awesome.
If you are travelling Highway 97 BC, stop into the Log Barn! It is worth the visit!

Have been to the log barn once before and I know stuff is expensive but this 2^nd time is the last! They completely ripped us off charging 39.95 for 4 sausage rolls? We didn’t discover the cost till we got home and called to confirm what the price was and left a message asking that, well no surprize they didn’t call back. They are a tourist trap in the worst way because they charge whatever they want because nothing is priced. They lure you in just to rip you off because your a tourist

This is the biggest scam rip off this side of BC. Drive into Kelowna and buy the same «authentic tortilla chips «for half the price. Skip it

Have you ever known a 30+ yr old woman to be super excited about feeding goats? No? Well, now you do.
Their trained goats and the fantastic pulley system for feeding them on the catwalk is going to make me smile for years to come.
Their pecan sweet bun is amazing (so my dad and sis said through mouthfuls of sweetness). I’m allergic so I didn’t get to try it.
Their sausages are amazing, but at almost $ 10 per sausage, I could not bring myself to buy it. I bought their pepperoni instead, the medium spicy one. It was $ 3.40 for a long stick and well… It was good. But it tasted like any other pepperoni.
Most of their stuff is mennonite made, which I was hoping for some special, magical, homemade tasting explosions of flavor, but I guess that didn’t happen.
Washrooms are clean. Place is super cute. Staff is friendly.
And goats. using pulley systems. This right here is the 4-​stars.

Total tourist trap. I purchased some yummy looking pecan cinnamon buns that were very old — completely dried out. Unfortunately I didn’t discover that until I got home — an hour’s drive from the Log Barn. I called and left a message but my call was not returned. Obviously they are not concerned with local repeat business and are happy to survive on the tourist $$.

Good area to stop by, let kids feed animals but be aware!!! The store sells 200% more than any store that sell the same stuff. Expect to pay $ 80 for few pies and drinks. There are no price tags, blind shopping.

This place was fun! We stopped here while on a road trip and it was the perfect timing to get out of the car. There aren’t a lot of other places to stop on the road so this was a fun way to get out, stretch our legs, and take a bathroom break. We enjoyed taking photos with all the crazy statues and garden ornaments they have from gorillas to dragons. Our favorite part was the goat walk. You drive in under a plank walk for goats. Goats walk up this skinny wooden walkway from their yard. At the top they can be fed by patrons below. We had fun paying for some feed and sending it up to the goats for a snack.
I wouldn’t buy food here as most of it was sitting out with flies landing on it (gross!) and the packaged stuff you can buy anywhere, but the place is fun. If you or your kids need a break from the car, the log barn is the perfect place to stop for some fun photo ops.

Brutal.
Friendly salespeople who will upsell you into an unbeknownst $ 100 bill (unbeknownst as there are no price indications on ANYTHING). Most of the food is NOT local (generic, imported crap from the US), and the prices are insulting. The owners have been fined twice by the Canadian Food Inspection Agency.
The dog’s breakfast of statues and goats are fun for the kids, but head into town for some genuine, honest and LOCAL food.

Not much to say, except that this a tourist trap rip-​off.
They offer lots of locally made foods — pies, sausage, sauces, etc. and offer imported cheeses and a bakery. The sausage tasted very good, but know in advance that these items are quite expensive. Even worse is the cost of the fruits/​veggies — go somewhere else for these items. $ 11.95 for a small basket of cherries (not even a pound) or the same price for about 7 plums — quite the mark-​up I tell you! (I know buying local is more expensive, but this was a bit much)
Prices for a lunch aren’t bad — sausages, soup, sliced pie, so if you’re hungry on the road then give it a try. Also, very busy over long weekends, so keep this in mind for timing your drive back to where you were visiting from. Either way, find another fruit stand in my opinion and save a few bucks and time.
