BC Staycation

7 August 2011

I’m not sure whether to title this “BC Staycation”, “Playing Hookie”, or “Really Long Lunch”.

Yesterday Cary and I decided to bail on work at the
house
and go for lunch at
Monkey In The Garden
Where we had what they call wraps and a piece of pie
organic lunch
Much of it grown right there on their organic farm

Michael, Brandie and Char were friendly and happy to talk about their organic farming techniques, the food and drinks they prepare and local sights. The lunch was beautifully presented, beautifully flavoured and healthy.

After lunch we left with some locally roasted coffee, a variety of tomatoes, soapnuts for the laundry and some frozen “beety borsch” for later.

Monkey in the Garden is near Spences Bridge on Highway 8. Open weekends from the end of May through September for drop in and any time for reservations. I whole-heartedly recommend going there when you can. More info at www.monkeyinthegarden.com

We also did some hiking & sight-seeing.
A wonderful, quick BC staycation.
