Taves Estate Cidery

For three generations in the Southlands of Abbotsford, we have been harvesting apples, berries, and other seasonal crops.

In the barnyard, Billy – a sly goat -secretly stole some apples and made his own blend of special cider. However, unbeknownst to anyone, the other animals in the barnyard gang added their favourite fruits to Billy’s Best. Thank goodness, Farmer Loren discovered the cider and bottled it up so you could enjoy this unique barnyard blend.

Farming has been a way of life for the Taves family since the 1930s, when Opa purchased his first farm in the Southlands of Abbotsford. Going into the fourth generation, Taves Family Farms continues to thrive with Loren and Corinne Taves leading the way. The farming operation now grows over 60 acres of produce where they harvest everything from eggplant and heirloom tomatoes, to a variety of currants and berries to apples and pumpkins!

Each spring, summer and fall, the Taves welcome people to the Applebarn to enjoy Easterfest, u-pick goji berries, sunflower and pumpkin patches, hay rides, a corn maze, jumping pillows, farm animals, pedal karts, pony rides, fun eats, and, most importantly, u-pick apples! Visiting the farm in fall brings 10 acres of orchard laden with different varieties of apples from tart Alkmene to sweet Honeycrisp and the Taves’ signature apple, the Jonagold. Together, this combination yields the most delicious cold-pressed apple cider and legendary apple cider slushies.
