West Secord Farm Fresh Event Recap!

July 16, 2021 By Kari Leave a Comment

All the fun details from our Farm Fresh Market in West Secord! Baby lambs, the cutest mobile bar, and amazing live music! 

West Secord-1

Hello! Happy summer! Can’t believe how fast it’s flying by already. It’s been a few weeks since our Farm Fresh Market at West Secord and I’m excited to finally share some highlights from the day and a few snaps of my favourite rooms in each of the six beautiful showhomes which opened June 26th – the day of our market.

First off, here’s a little bit about West Secord!

West Secord-2The Community

West Secord is a beautiful new community in west Edmonton with three large constructed ponds with walking trails, two awesome playgrounds with a protected 4.4-hectare pond area with a walking trail with bird and wildlife watching. This new neighbourhood is also close to shopping, and a few golf courses and restaurants.

Read more on the community here.

West Secord-3The Showhomes

New homes in West Secord start from the $350’s and are built by eight locally-owned, award-winning Edmonton Homebuilders. Pop by anytime to tour 12 showhomes in West Secord built by Coventry, Jayman, Impact, and Parkwood. Get in touch with them here. 

Here are some of my favourite rooms from the six gorgeous showhomes which opened the day of our Farm Fresh Market on June 26th!

  • The Kiera 24 by Jayman Built
  • The Sonata 20 by Jayman Built
  • The Madeline 24 by Jayman Built
  • The Destiny 20 by Jayman Built
  • The Pearce by Parkwood Master Builders
  • The Bianca by Coventry Homes

It was a blast to curate the market outside the showhomes with some of my local favourites! It was a scorching hot summer day and we had several treats to beat the heat! Guests enjoyed complimentary gelato from Cascarinos, berry lemonade from The Bottled Bronco mobile bar and fresh kombucha from The Prohibition Truck while listening to true-grit country tunes from Edmonton’s The Dungarees!

Swag Bag

Each person who booked an appointment to tour the showhomes in West Secord was treated to this amazing swag bag filled with fresh produce from Naked Greens by Thiel’s Greenhouses, Butter Cheese from Lakeside Farmstead, farm fresh eggs from Lil’ Ryley Farms, Beaver Creek Honey and snacks from The Makers Keep, and custom summer-themed chalk by KLB Designs! All the goodies came in my favourite market bag – Edmonton is Home – by Plum Home + Design.

Baby Lambs

Our friends from Lil Ryley Farms brought three of their adorable baby lambs – Freckles, Anna, and Domino – for kiddos (and their parents) to feed. If you’re looking for a fun day trip for the family, definitely pop out to Lil Ryley Farms! You can feed the animals, shop their market, and score amazing fresh produce at their U-Pick. Check them out here.

The Market

We were so happy to have Cory Christopher’s Flower Market set up with fresh bouquets for a minimum $10 donation to the YWCA Edmonton. Thanks to you we raised $630!

Guests also shopped amazing produce by Naked Greens by Thiel’s Greenhouses, cheese and butter from Lakeside Farmstead, and all sorts of local goods from The Maker’s Keep!

It was such an amazing day! Thank you so much to all of our vendors and to everyone who came out! Ask any questions in the comment section below and if you missed the showhomes tour, you can pop in anytime to check them out. Details here.

Looking forward to seeing you at the next event!

First time going to Disney? We got so much great a First time going to Disney? We got so much great advice and awesome tips for how to maximize our first time at the park as a family.

➡️ The number one thing I want to pass along is to allow breathing room in your days there. Don't overplan it. Try not to be SO scheduled that you miss the magic. ✨️

Of course you want to have a general plan of the rides you want to hit, your strategy for tackling the pack, etc. but leave space so when suddenly Goofy is walking down the street and your kiddo wants a photo - you have time. 

➡️ Book your hotel and park passes ahead of time for sure. Reserve a character dinner too (we booked ours the day before and got the last spot). 

There are a lot of to-the-minute schedules you'll find out there for how to hit every ride and try all the food in record time but for a family with young kids, I don't recommend it. Just go with the flow and have fun! 🤗

➡️ Make sure to head a few reels back and see how we surprised our seven-year-old with the trip! Ask any questions below. ❤️ Like and save this post if it was helpful for you.

More Disney tips coming to my Reels feed and KariSkelton.com this week!
