▼ HILLCREST FARM MARKET
Bal family gets behind new market concept I f you have not yet visited Hillcrest Farm Market, located on Highway 33 near the intersection with Springfield Road in the Black Mountain neighbourhood, you are missing out on a great experience. Owned and operated by the Chanchal and Barbara Bal and their sons Sukhpaul and Mandeep and daughters Davinder and Dilraj, the farm retail store, which is essentially a farm market with coffee shop, is a great concept with a nice atmosphere for a light breakfast, lunch or dinner. What’s unique about this farm market is that everything they sell, including their café products are all harvested off the farm. Whether it is fresh vegetables, canned fruit and vegetables or their wonderful food items, it is all fresh and home-made. They use their farm vegetables, freezing or canning them for later use. A well, the market has a cherry hydro cooling and packaging plant. During the summer harvest, locals can enjoy delicious cherries that will be available at the fruit stand. I tried the butter chicken pizza and it was wonderful and everyone loved the borscht soup. Barbara treated us to a variety of home-made squares to try and let me tell you, they were delicious. Hillside Farm Market will host a yoga and brunch on Sunday, Feb. 17, for $25 per person, from 9:30 to 10:30 a.m., taught by Chelsea Ray. The market is open 8 a.m.
