Top choice in Okanagan Valley


Amid oodles of competition, this roadside stand on Hwy 97 on the north side of Summerland stands out. The owners have an orchard right behind the market. They also have deals with some of the valley's best producers (the $3 tub of raspberries will have you checking local real-estate prices) and they create wonderful baked goods.
