ABBOTSFORD — A beloved family-owned farm and grocery store in Matsqui is coming back for business this spring.

Howard Wong Farms announced its return through a social media post last week, writing: “Our roots run deep. Same family. Same location. Same great quality.”

Locals initially reported that Howard Wong Jr. retired in December 2023, leaving the fruit and vegetable stand’s future uncertain.

The business has now been taken over by Brendan Wong and his wife, Tamara – the third generation of the Wong family to operate the location.
