Bun Run

The Bun Run is a self-guided pastry trail taking place September 1-27, 2026, as part of the Taste of Abby Fall Festival. This delicious adventure invites residents and visitors to explore some of Abbotsford’s favourite bakeries and cafés while enjoying exclusive Taste of Abby Treats created especially for the event.

Fall Flavours Cookbook

We asked local farmers, food-makers and residents of Abbotsford for delicious recipes to share with you. The fall season in Abbotsford is a great time to make a mouth-watering meal from our local harvesters. Check out the latest version of the cookbook!

About Macey Michaud (Winner of 2025 Taste of Abby Leadership Award)

“As a recent graduate of UFV’s culinary arts program, it’s safe to say I’m a bit of a food nerd. Attending culinary school was so much fun, and I can’t wait to further pursue my education in the future. I absolutely love all things cooking and baking, and I have for as long as I can remember. I love living in BC, where we are so blessed with a wide variety and abundance of locally grown food to cook with. Exploring new recipes and types of cuisines is a passion of mine, and I’m always looking to try and create something new! I’m looking forward to all the delicious dishes and recipes I will make as I continue to pursue my apprenticeship to get my Red Seal.”

“My name is Jenna Thompson. I have completed my Red Seal in Culinary at the University of the Fraser Valley. I currently am a Jr sous chef at a restaurant in Abbotsford and am training to become a sous chef in the next year. I also am still studying at UFV for my business diploma, which I am going to use with my Red Seal to take on more of the Management side of a restaurant and hoping in the future to open my own!

I am grateful for this award as it is helping me continue my education and support my city, as I have lived in Abbotsford my whole life. I have always loved to be in the kitchen as a little kid and helping my parents and family in all ways. Going through my red seal and getting restaurant experience has truly shaped my out look on food and how I love brining people closer with food!”
