Connecting us to the Land, its History, & Each Other
We regret that due to the Oct 23-26 cold snap our apple season has come to a sudden end. We have a few bins of Ambrosia available this weekend (Oct 29-31) but no remaining apples. Thank-you for your understanding.
Please note that tastings, flights, live music and wood-fired pizza are complete for the 2020 season. Thank you to everyone who visited and supported us throughout the summer season.

What is BX?
Founded in 1861 by by Frances Jones Barnard, “The Barnard’s Express” (BX) was an iconic stagecoach company that serviced the Interior of BC during the famed Caribou Goldrush and beyond. Today our orchard roots run deep into the land that Barnard raised his very special horses on and our Character Series Ciders celebrate BX legends.
