Eagle Creek Farms

Eagle Creek Farms

Eagle Creek Farms is owned by father and son, Stan and John Mills. This farm has been in the family for many many years and is located in Bowden. The farm is situated 30 minutes from Red deer, just off of highway 2.  Eagle Creek farms is a member of the CSA, providing a large assortment of vegetables. They also have a u-pick flower area, sunflower and a corn maze, along with animals and arranged flowers bouquets. 

This farm has over 40 varieties of seed potatoes for wholesale.

After John returned from school, it left his Dad, Stan with some extra time on his hands. Stan created raised Strawberry beds in eaves troughs. Stan is experimenting with over wintering them by stacking them once the season is finished. 

Eagle Creek farms incorporates Facebook, twitter, blogs, and newsletters into their social media communication. They also have a very helpful website. 

This farm has many different types and styles of signage. I feel signage is key, I have heard them referred to as "silent salesmen". I prefer a hand crafted look to signage, but I think that is just me. As you look through my blog I have many pictures of the different styles of signage they use.

Wind damage to high tunnel

Eagle Creek farms also produces produce under high tunnels. However as you see above, these tunnels are easily damaged by high winds.
