Homestead Cider

Homestead Cider is the kind of place that makes a country drive worthwhile, a family-owned cidery nestled between Mt. Cheam and Bear Mountain in Agassiz, in the scenic Harrison River Valley. The ciders here are crafted with farm-grown apples and local BC ingredients, aiming for something flavourful yet easy to drink. The flagship Farmhouse Dry captures the classic taste of BC apples, light and dry with a hint of citrus, while more adventurous pours like blueberry lavender show the playful side of the operation. What really sets Homestead apart is the experience of being there. You can settle into the picturesque picnic area with a flight in hand and soak up genuinely stunning mountain views, often with the resident highland cows grazing nearby, a hit with kids and grown-ups alike. The cidery is dog and kid friendly, and through the warmer months it comes alive with a rotating schedule of food trucks and live music on select evenings, turning a simple cider stop into a full afternoon out. Homestead runs seasonally, typically welcoming visitors from spring into the fall on weekends, so it's worth confirming the schedule before you make the trip out. Set against the dramatic backdrop of the eastern Fraser Valley, it pairs beautifully with a visit to nearby Harrison Hot Springs and the surrounding farm country. For a relaxed, family-friendly escape where the views are as memorable as the cider, Homestead is hard to beat. Bring a blanket, grab a flight, say hello to the highland cows, and let an unhurried valley afternoon unfold. It's the sort of welcoming, farm-rooted stop that captures the easygoing spirit of cider country in BC.
