(Abbotsford, BC) As the pumpkin fields awaken, Taves Family Farms welcomes visitors into the next chapter of its signature storybook experience. From August 20th to September 6th, the Magic of Sunflowers invites guests to step through a secret doorway and wander sunflower and zinnia-lined pathways as old world melodies drift through the air. Enchanting photo opportunities include a weathered wooden bridge, vintage bicycles, gnome characters and a hidden gnome home, all part of a garden wonderland that seamlessly transitions into the Magic of Fall.

“Opening the gates for another season is always a deep, soul-touching experience. What started 36 years ago as a small family dream, when we first opened our farm to the community, has grown into something we never could have imagined. Over the years, the land has been shaped by our family, but also by all the visitors who have made the farm part of their own traditions,” says Loren Taves, co-owner of Taves Farms.

From September 12th through October 31st, the Magic of Fall begins with an entirely new attraction, Autumn’s Lane, a foliage-draped passage illuminated by vintage chandeliers. The Most Magical Pumpkin Garden in Canada returns with meandering pathways, an enchanting pumpkin patch and princess carriage, mythical faces carved into the trees, acres of vibrant apple u-pick orchards and storybook touches throughout the farm. More than 30 acres of fall fun also include the Mystical Meadow and its new 150-foot slide, three corn mazes, hayrides, giant jumping pillows, pedal karts, playgrounds and adorable farm animals including alpacas, a miniature horse and goats.

For seasonal food and drink experiences, the concessions will serve savoury and sweet creations, from freshly roasted corn with toppings to pumpkin-spiced lattés, with food trucks available on select dates. At Taves Estate Cidery, guests can enjoy seasonal pumpkin and apple ciders, cocktails and mocktails on the covered, heated patio or at the Barnyard Booths, complete with firepits and s’mores.

The Magic of Sunflowers also includes special events, with butterfly releases from August 21st to 23rd and after-hours golden hour access on August 22nd, 23rd, 29th, and 30th. Guests 19+ can also join Taves Estate Cidery for Sip ‘n Stroll evenings on August 21st and 28th.
