Simply Fine Foods at Limbert Mountain Farm

Join Trudie and Claude for a culinary experience that feeds the senses and re-connects you to the earth and to your food!  Claude will be preparing food on the BBQ from 11am until closing (or when the food runs out). There will be a variety of food items available from roasted corn on the cob with herb butter to their popular pesto pizza and lavender lemonade. Other items on the menu for the day will be a surprise! 

Trudie will offer guided informational garden tours at the following times:  10am, noon, 2pm & 4pm.  She will focus on educating you about organic gardening and food self sufficiency.  Herbs, veggies, and garlic production are their main focus on the farm with a community supported agricultural program for local families (weekly food box).

Limbert Mountain Farm, a culinary destination featuring Herbs and Specialty Foods, is tucked into the shadow of Limbert Mountain. Part of the original Circle Farm Tour, this local attraction is owned by Trudie and Claude Bouchard. This farm has more than breathtaking views and lush gardens going for it. It has over 100 years of history.

Claude’s great grandparents immigrated to Agassiz in 1902 and chose the farm site for the south facing hillside in order to grow wine grapes. Some of the original vineyard still exists and the 1912 farmhouse is still the family home.
 Trudie & Claude have grown herbs, garlic, vegetables, fruit and nuts 
 organically for over 30 years, just as their predecessors did. They also raise their own meat chickens and turkeys and maintain a flock of laying hens. By building the soil using compost, manure and supplementing with organic matter & green manure, the soils nutrients are continually renewed. The result is food that is superior in nutrition as well as taste. The food that they grow is either consumed on the farm in their Bistro or used to create one of their “Simply Fine Food” products such as their popular basil pesto, vinegars, herbal chocolate or garlic nectar.


Tour the herb gardens, relax by the pond and check out the unique selection of gifts & local foods in the Store. Claude manages the Simply Fine Foods Kitchen, creating fabulous culinary delights featuring their seasonal produce and foods sourced locally. Everything is made fresh from scratch. The Kitchen & outdoor patio is open on the weekends or during the week for pre-booked groups.
They also have several special events each year, such as a Garlic Festival in August, where they introduce you to several heritage varieties of garlic & offer planting and processing suggestions. They currently have an acre under cultivation and 15 varieties.


At least once a month, they host guest Chefs for Cooking & Dining Experiences. These evenings are 3 hours of fun, entertainment and great food! Trudie teaches Herb Classes and Wild Herb Identification as well as offering Herb Walks for groups.

Farm Hours are Monday to Saturday, 10 am - 5 pm & Sunday from 12 - 5 pm.Kitchen Hours are Saturday & Sunday (& Holiday Mondays), 12 - 4 pm or pre-booked groups.
 Their farm is closed from Christmas Day until February 1st and Easter Sunday.
