About Bears Fruit Stand
The Keremeos Bypass Road junction on the east side of the village has its own landmark stand in Bears Fruit Stand, working from 991 Keremeos Bypass Road at the point where bypass traffic and highway traffic effectively meet. Through the growing season the stand carries the usual valley run of fresh fruit and vegetables alongside homemade jams and syrups, plus ten flavours of ice cream for anyone stopping on a hot afternoon rather than shopping for groceries.
What the stand is best known for regionally is its autumn display, when the tables and yard fill with pumpkins and gourds in enough variety that families make a point of returning to it year after year as part of a fall outing. A seasonal display on that scale is a fair amount of work to put together, and stands that do it well tend to become the kind of stop a family builds a small yearly tradition around rather than a one time visit.
The stand can be reached at 250-499-2814. Fruit and vegetable stock naturally follows the harvest through the summer and early fall, so calling ahead makes sense if a specific item is the reason for the trip, and the same applies to the pumpkin display, which has its own much narrower window later in the year. Anyone planning a family outing around it in October is better off phoning first to confirm it is running that particular week rather than assuming.
