Agriculture is done right in the Similkameen. A lot of the agricultural acclaim can be attributed to the Similkameen River, which runs adjacent to the highway that takes you through our region. However, the people that cultivate the Similkameen's crops deserve a whole lot of credit too. During Fall Harvest, this place BOOMS! There's no better fall road trip in British Columbia than sipping and tasting your way through the Valley.

It's difficult to miss the bounty of the Similkameen, as when you drive through the main drag of Keremeos there are fruit stands everywhere! Stop at one, or stop at them all (good luck), and prepare your taste buds for fresh produce bursting with flavour.
