ABOUT TAVES FAMILY FARM & TAVES ESTATE CIDERY

Farming has been a way of life for the Taves family since the 1930s, when Opa purchased his first farm in the Southlands of Abbotsford. Going into the fourth generation, Taves Family Farms continues to thrive with Loren and Corinne Taves leading the way. The farming operation now grows over 60 acres of produce where they harvest everything from eggplant and heirloom tomatoes, to a variety of currants and berries to apples and pumpkins!

Each spring, summer and fall, the Taves welcome people to the Applebarn to enjoy Easterfest, u-pick goji berries, sunflower and pumpkin patches, hay rides, a corn maze, jumping pillows, farm animals, pedal karts, pony rides, fun eats, and, most importantly, u-pick apples! Visiting the farm in fall brings 10 acres of orchard laden with different varieties of apples from tart Alkmene to sweet Honeycrisp and the Taves’ signature apple, the Jonagold. Together, this combination yields the most delicious cold-pressed apple cider and legendary apple cider slushies.

In 2019, a small group of Métis and First Nations women met and began a weekly inclusive singing and hand drumming circle. Instructor Wenonah Justin member of Cook’s Ferry of the Nlaka’pamux nation with Cree ancestry is a traditional singer, Knowledge Sharer and Drum Carrier. She shares the traditional Salish teachings she learned from Salish Elders in Tiqilip Community Singers.

In the pursuit of helping themselves and others reclaim a culture that was denied to them, D.R.U.M.C. practices Love, Unity, Inclusivity, Acceptance, Indigenous languages, Stories, and Songs.

We will be gathering on the traditional, ancestral and unceded territories of the Stó:lō People. Specifically Semá:th (Sumas), Mathexwi (Matsqui), and Laq’ámel (Mission) First Nations. This is also the lodging home for the Fraser Valley Métis Association, a chartered community of Metis Nation BC (MNBC).

The Abbotsford Farm & Country Market was established in 2003 and is operated by the non-profit Abbotsford Farm & Country Market Society.

It combines the best of a modern market experience with a traditional “make, bake, or grow” principle for its juried vendors. As a result, the Abbotsford Farm & Country Market showcases the best in locally grown and produced products along with the creative talents of both artisans and entertainers.

The majority of vendors are growers and food producers from the Abbotsford area. Agri-related businesses generate more than one third of Abbotsford’s economic activity and are responsible for 20% of all local jobs.

Buying local food contributes to a healthier environment by sustaining oxygen producing plants, and reducing greenhouse gases from packaging and long-distance transportation. In addition, local food is fresher, naturally ripened and therefore a healthier choice for you and your family.

By shopping at the Abbotsford Farm & Country Market, you are supporting the health of your loved ones, the environment, and the local economy; and are helping to sustain the availability of local food for future generations.

Learn more about local agriculture and local food by meeting local farmers and food producers at the Abbotsford Farm & Country Market each week.

With the support of Archway Community Services and its partners we hope all newcomers and longtime residents feel equally welcome in Abbotsford and can enjoy all our community has to offer.”

Abbotsford Arts Centre

7:00PM

Tickets $22.63 via Eventbrite

Local Mother-Daughter filmmakers, Kim Laureen and Megan Nicole (Fresh Independence

Productions) are set to release their third feature length documentary this fall called, “Losing

Coach Mac” based on BC Football Hall of Fame inductee and Father of Abbotsford Football,

Dr. Bill MacGregor.

BC Football Hall of Fame Inductee Bill MacGregor enjoyed a successful career with the

Vancouver Meralomas, SFU Clan, and was a 1973 BC Lions Draft Pick.

He then stepped into his favourite role as Coach Mac, building football programs like the

Abbotsford Panthers who not only lifted up a trophy, but also their community. Bill earned his

Masters and Doctorate in Education where as a high school principal the impact he had on

youth lasted a lifetime.

Along the way were unexplained changes until Bill’s diagnosis with CTE and Dementia.

Chronic Traumatic Encephalopathy known as CTE is coming to light as a neurodegenerative

disease caused by repetitive brain injury. More research is required for early diagnosis and

treatments to slow down the effects.

This is a story celebrating strength through adversity and all that Coach Mac has gifted to

people, but also a reflection about what has been taken away from his family – who share

heartbreak and loss in not knowing what was taking place.

Bill now spends his days with wife Pam who says, ‘No matter where we go former students,

players, parents, and colleagues stop to say hello and share a story about how Bill has

touches their lives.’

The title, ‘Losing Coach Mac’ was inspired by Pam who has shared her talents with the

community as a former realtor and now a custom cookie designer. The MacGregor’s have

offered their story to raise awareness about Brain Injury and the struggles families are facing

navigating the challenging road with Dementia.
