The Ashcroft-Cache Creek area has many attractions and activities, but one of the most popular is a visit to the Desert Hills Ranch.

Desert Hills Ranch has facilities in both Ashcroft and Cache Creek.

Sold on the farm and at grocery stores throughout Western Canada, Desert Hills grows melons, peppers, onions, tomatoes, pumpkins and must more.

During normal operations, the ranch features animals for children to experience, such as climbing goats and Clydesdale horses. It also hosts numerous events.

Although its Cache Creek facility was closed during the COVID-19 crisis, the farm remained open for business in Ashcroft, with some restrictions. Check this website when planning your future trip to the farm.
