Presenting an enchanting oasis nestled amidst the serene countryside of the Sumas Prairie — an exceptional 20-acre fruit farm where dreams come true and memories are made. 3387 Tolmie Road is home to five unique, interconnected, businesses and income streams carefully developed over the past 42 years: Ripples Estate Winery, New Wave Distilling, the Secret Garden wedding and event venue, a lounge/restaurant, and a greenhouse operation. 01. The Winery Ripples Estate Winery produces delicious blueberry and wine grape wines. Established in 2015, the winery processes all of the fruit grown on the property. The wines are sold direct-to-consumer through the 1,200 square foot on-site tasting room/sales center, in the restaurant/lounge, and at events in the Secret Garden. The winery has a land-based manufacturing license. Ripples utilizes a 5,000 square foot production building on the property. The fruit on the farm used in wine production is supplemented by purchased BC grapes and BC bulk wine. The winery has a well-developed brand and an Instagram page with over 8,500 followers. 02. The Distillery New Wave Distilling produces craft, award-winning spirits from the organically grown blueberries on the property and excess products from the wine production. Established in 2018, the interconnected nature of the winery and distillery means that New Wave produces spirits with minimal input costs. The distillery shares the 5,000 square foot production building with the winery. Their products range from their exceptionally smooth “Illusion Vodka” to their “Disillusion Gin” to exotic Liqueurs like their “Bride’s Tears Spirit”. The New Wave Distillery brand has over 15 excellently designed labels and 3,888 followers on its standalone Instagram page.

The Greenhouse Operation Operating since 2000, the Greenhouse operation on the property is the longest-running current revenue source of the farm.
