About Buy-Low Foods
Groceries in farm country work to an odd logic. The valley around Keremeos grows an enormous quantity of food, yet a household still needs flour, milk, cleaning supplies and everything else that does not come off a tree, and Buy-Low Foods covers that ground from 701 7th Street. It is the kind of shop a village of sixteen hundred cannot really do without, since the nearest full sized supermarkets sit a drive away over in the Okanagan.
A single grocery serving a district this size does a wider job than its floor space suggests. It supplies the households in the village, the farms and seasonal crews out in the orchards and market gardens, and the travellers who stop somewhere between the fruit stands and the highway. Stock through the year follows the same seasonal swell as everything else in the Similkameen, heavier when the valley is full of people and quieter once the picking is finished.
The store number is 250-499-5532, and a call is often better than a drive if you want something particular. Most grocers will take a special order for a case of something, put a platter together with notice, or tell you whether a seasonal item has arrived. If you are stocking a cabin or feeding a work crew, ask about case pricing and how much lead time an order needs, because deliveries out to a village this far from the distribution centres may not arrive every day of the week.
