1๏ธโƒฃ DAY TO GO โ€” DOUBLE FEATURE: PART 2!

Okay, one more stop today before we officially hit the finish line tomorrow! ๐Ÿ

My second stop of the day was Farm Country Brewing in Langley ๐Ÿค  Walking in, I immediately felt like I had stepped into a Southern h***y tonk where you can just relax and have a good time!

Since opening in 2019, Farm Country has really leaned into the idea of being a neighbourhood gathering place, with live music, trivia, comedy nights and other events happening throughout the year ๐ŸŽผ

I love seeing local businesses create spaces where people can truly connect, whether thatโ€™s catching some live music, laughing through a comedy night, or just getting together with friends. ๐Ÿ˜Š

It definitely fits with something Iโ€™ve noticed throughout this whole series: the best local businesses often become about so much more than what they originally set out to do. They become part of the community. ๐Ÿซ‚

And with thatโ€ฆ weโ€™re officially ONE DAY AWAY! ๐ŸŽ‰

2๏ธโƒฃ DAYS TO GO!

My next stop leading up to the White Rock Craft B**r Festival took me to Brookswood Brewing in Langley! ๐Ÿป

Brookswood Brewing started with three friends who had known each other for more than 25 years ๐ŸŒŸ Their idea was pretty simple: create something they loved and build a place where people in their community could connect. We all want to love where we live, and I have a lot of admiration for those willing to take big risks to contribute to their community! ๐Ÿ˜๏ธ

And thereโ€™s always something fun happening at Brookswood Brewing, including regular stand-up nights. Because honestly, a good belly laugh is hard to beat! Check out their website to see whatโ€™s coming up ๐Ÿ‘€

Weโ€™re officially down to the final 2 DAYS! ๐ŸŽ‰

3๏ธโƒฃ DAYS TO GO!

My next stop leading up to the White Rock Craft B**r Festival took me out to Richmond, where I checked out Country Vines Winery ๐Ÿ‡๐ŸŒฟ

First of all, I canโ€™t believe this was my first time here! It really felt like a secret garden, with a few different outdoor spaces to relax in. ๐Ÿ™Œ There were comfy seats under a pergola, sunny spots on the patio, or you could tuck yourself under a tree on a swing, which was definitely my favourite! ๐ŸŒณ๐Ÿƒ

Country Vines Winery is part of a family farming operation that has been in Richmond for more than 60 years! The family still cultivates more than 300 acres of mixed crops, with the winery right in the middle of it all. ๐Ÿท

And theyโ€™re dog friendly too! ๐Ÿ•

Another beautiful stop checked off the list, and weโ€™re getting very close to the finish line now!

See you in 3 days! ๐ŸŽ‰

4๏ธโƒฃ DAYS TO GO!

The next stop on my countdown to the White Rock Craft B**r Festival brought me to Way Back Brew Co. ๐Ÿค™๐ŸŒด

Like so many microbreweries, this hidden gem is tucked away in an industrial area just south of Highway 10 and off of 152 in Surrey. Walking in, the first thing you notice is the vibe! Way Back has leaned into a retro diner/ California-surfer feel, giving you a unique SoCal experience north of the border! ๐Ÿ„โ€โ™€๏ธ

Youโ€™ll also find a solid nod to old-school sports legends inside the tap room which is fun to look through ๐Ÿ’ On top of that, thereโ€™s a large, sun-soaked patio that made a great spot for us to enjoy the nice sunny afternoon!โ˜€๏ธ๐Ÿบ

Only 4 days to go - looking forward to seeing you on Saturday! ๐ŸŽ‰

โณ 5 DAYS TO GO!

The countdown is officially on, and my tour leading up to the White Rock Craft B**r Festival continues! For my next stop, I visited Fraser Valley C***r ๐ŸŽ

Did you know they grow 40 varieties of heritage apples right on their 12.5-acre property? ๐ŸŒณ๐ŸŽ Those apples contribute to more than 25 flavours of award winning c***rs produced throughout the year!

Fraser Valley C***r also has a taproom with a great food menu, and a full calendar of events, including a Summer Concert Series! ๐ŸŽถ

๐Ÿ”๏ธ When we visited, we sat outside and took in the views of Mt. Baker and the surrounding orchards. ๐Ÿ™Œ It was the perfect spot to spend some time relaxing in the sun!๐ŸŒป

Iโ€™ve loved seeing how different each stop has been so far, from working farms and historic barns to orchards and everything in between. Itโ€™s been a pretty fun way to explore more of the Fraser Valley!

Only 5 days until the festival! ๐ŸŽ‰

09/17/2026

๐Ÿก The Fraser Valley market continued to shift in buyersโ€™ favour in August, with sales slowing and prices easing. While sales edged up slightly year over year (just the second annual increase since the beginning of 2025), overall demand remains subdued. With inventory still well above seasonal norms, buyers have more choice, more time, and more negotiating power.

โœจ Key Highlights:

๐Ÿ”น Sales Activity - 941 homes sold in August (down 14% from July but up 1% year-over-year).

๐Ÿ”น Inventory - 9,787 active listings (down 3% from July and down 6.3% year-over-year, but still 33% above the 10- year seasonal average)

๐Ÿ”น Price Trends:
* Detached: $1,319,600 (โ†“ 1.2% MoM | โ†“ 8.4% YoY)
* Townhomes: $750,600 (โ†“ 0.9% MoM | โ†“ 7.1% YoY)
* Condos: $466,100 (โ†“ 0.7% MoM | โ†“ 8.9% YoY)

๐Ÿ”น Days on Market:
* Detached: 45 days
* Townhomes: 37 days
* Condos: 45 days

๐Ÿ”นSales-to-Active Listings Ratio: Currently at 10% โ†’ Buyerโ€™s Market (balanced market = 12% โ€“ 20%)

๐Ÿ” What This Means For You:

For Buyers: Buyers continue to have the upper hand, with more choice, softer prices, and little pressure to act quickly. This is creating opportunities for those who are financially prepared, particularly first-time buyers, downsizers, and move-up buyers.

For Sellers: Competition is increasing, with buyers taking their time and some sellers becoming more willing to negotiate. Realistic pricing and a strong strategy are more important than ever as prices continue to ease.

๐Ÿ‡ NEXT STOP: GATE 22 WINERY

Continuing my stops leading up to the White Rock Craft B**r Festival, I made my way to Gate 22 Winery in South Surrey!๐Ÿท

Their portfolio brings together premium fruit from some pretty incredible vineyards in Napa Valley, along with their collection of award-winning BC VQA wines made with fruit grown in the Okanagan. ๐Ÿ†

They also offer a behind-the-scenes look at the winemaking process, with their cellar and fermentation room right inside the winery. ๐Ÿ‡

Another great local spot to add to the list as we get closer to festival day. Iโ€™ll be sharing a few more stops along the way, so keep following along! ๐Ÿ™Œ

๐Ÿฏ The countdown to the White Rock Craft B**r Festival continues, and my next stop was at Humblebee Meadery!

If youโ€™re wondering what exactly a meadery is, youโ€™re not alone. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Mead is made from fermented honey, and Humblebee has put a very modern spin on this very old drink.

A couple of things I thought were pretty cool:

๐Ÿฏ They source their honey from a Canadian apiary
โ€จ๐ŸŒฟ Their flavours go way beyond what you might expect. Think saffron & orange, green tea & lime leaf, lingonberry & elderberry, and hibiscus & lavender. I can confirm, all very tasty!

Theyโ€™ve also been at this since 2015, when owners Jeff and Pierre started turning their love of craft b**r, c***r and mead into a local business.

And yesโ€ฆ Humblebee will be at the White Rock Craft B**r Festival! ๐Ÿป๐Ÿ
