a christmas yarmarok (market)

a country restaurant and Saskatoon-berry farm sitting right on the river south of the city, the kind of place that is the destination as much as the meal. the kitchen is known for its berry pie, and the grounds carry a greenhouse, a gift shop, a u-pick patch and ice cream hut in season, and a little fun zone for small kids. it is an easy, scenic drive out of town, with riverbank views to walk off lunch. families and grandparents both love it. a proper Sunday-drive afternoon, no agenda needed.
