It survived war. It outlasted depressions. It sidestepped meddling politicians, uncompromising bankers, and an unrelenting wave of conglomeration. Its values, and its iconic glass jugs, never changed. Yes, Avalon is a dairy farm, but it's also a story of overcoming hardship.
Looking to show your visitors that Vancouver’s nature scene includes more than Stanley Park and the North Shore mountains? If you could use some fresh country air, take a trip to Avalon Dairy, a 1.25-acre heritage site just outside the city limits where the cows “enjoy the Country Club treatment.” The history behind the certified organic farm, which started in 1906, spans from the Avalon Peninsula in Newfoundland and is still going strong today, even continuing to deliver bottled milk to doorsteps in some places. The Pleasantville vibes are strong.
