TRUMPETER SWANS - while most folks are not doing much travelling these days we do have some air B&B guests in the area. These beautiful birds have been spending their winter migration in Glen Valley. As the picture shows, their size alone differentiates them from the Canada goose and snow goose. #wildlife #bird #trumpeterswan #lifeinthecountry #LangleyFresh #thefraservalley #fortlangleybc #beautifulbc #farmlife #cranberryfarm #theriversidebog

ANTIOXIDANT POWERHOUSE - let’s talk about some nutritional science. Heard of the ORAC value in foods? It’s short for the Oxygen Radical Absorption Capacity an analysis that measures the total antioxidant power of foods. According to the FDA’s research early findings suggest that high ORAC fruits and vegetables may help slow the process of aging in both the body and the brain. What gets us excited is that cranberries top the list for commonly consumed fruit, topping even Bl...ueberries (well known for their antioxidant power). Out of 20 fruit, the cranberry has the highest level of phenols. So the next time you are pouring cranberries into your smoothie blender or mixing it into your breakfast bowl you can give yourself a pat on the back knowing you just choose a winner for your overall health! #cranberries #cranberryscience #foodscience #whyeatcranberries #oracvalue #antioxidants #eatinghealthy #eatfruit #eatcranberries #bccranberries #cranberryfarmer #cranberrygrower #eatsmart #fraservalley #bccranberryfarm

SANDING - Sand is a cranberry vine’s best friend. Today is a sanding day on the farm. Every fall/winter after harvest, Brian assesses the areas where the vine became uprooted and the bog floated. Usually he marks them during harvest. Then a skiff of sand is applied to those areas to help the plants root down again during the early spring. Sometimes the whole bog needs a sanding but today is just spot sanding the weak areas of the bog. #farmlife #lifeonacranberryfarm #lifeonafarm #cranberrybog ##cranberryfarm #cranberryplant #farming101 #fortlangley #bccranberries #bccranberryfarm #bcfarm #learningaboutgrowingfood #sanding

SWEET & SPICY CRANBERRY MEATBALLS - Our family LOVES meatballs! Our youngest even requested meatballs for her special birthday dinner. So on a wet Fall evening, like last night, it was a no brainer putting this on the dinner menu here. What we particularly like about this recipe from @carlsbadcravings is the tangy sweetness the cranberry sauce adds to the mix. It’s a savory way to use our favourite berry.

DRIED CRANBERRIES - hands up if you are fan of dried cranberries! Our family seriously eats them on almost every SALAD - except maybe Caesar salad (though I saw a post of someone adding cranberries to that too). The funny thing is our kids have learned what a craisin is before even trying a raisin! You know those wrinkly fingers you get after a long bath - yup those are craisin fingers in our house. #driedcranberries #cranberryfarmer #whatweeat #saladtoppings #craisins #craisinsdriedcranberries #farmlife #craisinfingers

CRANBERRY APPLE TARTS - ok, I’m letting you in on a secret . This is literally one of the easiest desserts to make and my go-to option when company arrives unexpected. The key is to have frozen tart shells in the freezer at all times. Next, pre-made cranberry sauce is super convenient in a pinch. (Not a problem when your family eats cranberry sauce by the pickle-size jar .) Every batch of tarts is a little different but the general combination is cranberry sauce, peeled/sl...iced , a sprinkle of Demerara brown sugar, and dash of cinnamon. First bake the tart shells for 10-15min. Then while they are baking combine the other ingredients in a sauce pan and bring to a boil and then simmer until the mix reduces and thickens. Once the shells cool, add the fill mix and viola - a drool worthy dessert just waiting for a dollop of whip cream! #cranberryfarm #cranberry #cranberryrecipe #cranberrydessert #farmkitchen #farmkitchensecret #gottodessert #theriversidebog #bccranberries #eatdessert #thanksgivingdesserts #easybaking

So how about buying local hand crafted quality items from the comfort of your home? We are looking forward to being a part of this awesome online market taking place in the Fraser Valley. Starts tonight and runs until December 7th! #buylocal #localbusiness #localmarket #onlineholidaymarket #onlinemarket #fraservalleymarket

RIVERSIDE CRANBERRIES - part of our farm name comes from our literal location along the Fraser River. Right behind the back of the farm runs the mighty Fraser and to the right Nathan Creek. Having some sport fly fishermen in the family, our location by the river makes home a pretty great place to be during the Summer and Fall. #riverside #theriversidebog #cranberryfarm #cranberryfarmer #bccranberryfarm #locationlocationlocation #lifealongthefraser #lifealongtheriver #fortlangley

PURE CRANBERRY & BLUEBERRY JUICE - Our bubble is pretty small right now and we are missing the opportunity to host friends. But we’ve decided to make the best of it and experiment with a new juice mix: % pure cold pressed cranberry and blueberry juice. It’s packed with rich flavour - add a shot of vodka and we’ve definitely got a drink that pairs best with friends! Who would be up for trying some? #cranberryjuice #cranberryblueberryjuice #100purejuice #cranberryfarm #yvrfoodie #missingfriends #bubblelife #covidsucks #drinkingthecranberrieswegrow
