About Bradner
Bradner resides in the northwest corner of Abbotsford and is one of the more rural neighbourhoods. Its name originates from a settler who lived in the area in 1895, Thomas Bradner. Bradner is an agricultural-driven industry that thrives and brings in a great deal of income and jobs for the community. The rolling fields and picturesque views of Mt. Baker are only a few reasons people flock to Bradner. The crops are a sight to see when they are in full bloom, and they are adored by those who have a chance to see the annual blooms, particularly daffodils. This show has been ongoing since 1928, when a settler from Vancouver named Fenwick Fatkin wanted other local growers to showcase them.
Besides agriculture, Bradner is proud to grow high-quality vegetables, dairy, poultry, and organic meat. Bradner Organic Farms raises free-run certified organic chicken and turkey. They also produce farm direct and private label brands of certified organic meat, eggs and dairy. At Goat’s Pride Dairy, Mt. Lehman Cheese Co. has a small store on-site to purchase some of the highest quality, locally produced cheeses.
Another timely and loved tradition for the community is the annual May Day parade. Every year, a sixth-grade student is selected to become the May Queen, and now they even select a May King.
