A week ago we took a Saturday morning jaunt to my friend Heather Cameron’s blueberry farm, Missing Goat. What a lovely spot! I first met Heather through my store – she would borrow products for photoshoots/magazine articles {she’s an amazing stylist for magazines}, and she very kindly took the pictures of our little store that were sent into Style at Home magazine…eventually landing us in the Shop of the Month spot in the August 2008 issue! She is also dear friends with Janis, who took the photos for my portfolio. Yes, the Lower Mainland is a small place!

Heather, her husband, adorable daughter Lily, and mother live on a gorgeous organic blueberry farm here in South Surrey. With the farm recently open for business for the season, I figured we’d pop over to enjoy the setting, visit, and bring home some goodies!

The ladies visited & chatted as ladies will do…

 

..while Ben played farmer and hunted for ripe blueberries {the crop wasn’t quite ready for picking yet}

 

Even though not quite ripe, aren’t these berries beautiful?

 

The “Shabby Shack”, site of many a photoshoot and now home to the Missing Goat store – jams, chutneys, berries, organic coffee, pies…yum yum! 

 

Love how Heather’s painted the floors tiffany blue! Carys was smitten with Lily’s dog Finn.

 

Heather graciously let my little berry-monsters hunt for some ripe berries to enjoy

We left with jars of blueberry lavendar jam, organic coffee, and plans to place an order for lot’s of blueberries! The second we arrived back home, the jam was opened, slathered on toast and enjoyed! It’s delicious…the lavendar gives it this indescribable, almost exotic flavour. I’m thinking a batch of homemade scones are in order Saturday morning to accompany this yummy jam!

If you are in the Lower Mainland, do make a trip to Missing Goat- it’s a magical spot and everything is fresh and delicious. You can visit Missing Goat online for more info, and do check out Heather’s blog A Day In The Country….full of gorgeous pictures and lovely tidbits from her life on the farm.
