1. Gatzke Orchard – Lake Country

Run by the third generation, Gatzke Orchard sustainably grows over 50 varieties of tree fruits and a range of vegetable crops. Enjoy food grown just 100 metres from you at the farm market cafe, including wood-fired pizza at Pane Vino Pizzeria (have some ice cream too). Be sure to shop for fresh fruits, produce and goods at the farm market open from May to mid-September.

2. KLO Farm Market – Kelowna

Open seven days a week, KLO Farm Market sells fruits and vegetables grown right on the farm. The store also stocks almost anything local that you can think of, including dairy products, honey, canned goods, hot sauce, jams, dressings, spices and seasonings, farm-raised chicken, homemade pies and much more. Check out the U-pick flower fields for a giftable bouquet you know will last.

3. Paynter’s Farm Market – West Kelowna

Paynter’s has been a family farm since 1919 and the market stocks everything from B.C. (including 1000 local B.C. products from over 100 different B.C.-based companies) or grown on their own 40-acre farm. Paynter’s also offers farm tours as well as U-pick experiences perfect for the whole family—no need to book ahead.
