About Gerry's Fruit and Veg
Highway 3 through Keremeos carries enough fruit stands in a row that visitors have taken to calling the stretch by that name, and Gerry's Fruit and Veg holds a spot in it at 3045 Highway 3, roughly across from the Keremeos Bypass Road junction. The stand deals in the produce the valley is known for through the growing season, berries, peaches and apricots among them, alongside vegetables such as peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers picked at a stage meant for eating soon rather than shipping far.
Alongside the fresh produce the stand carries the preserved side of a valley harvest, jams, syrups, honey and vinegars made locally rather than trucked in, which is the usual second line of business for a roadside stand once the fresh fruit of a given week is accounted for. Stands of this kind commonly sell mixed boxes at a set price as a way of moving a broader range of what came off the trees and out of the ground that morning.
The stand can be reached at 250-499-0095, and a call ahead is worth it if a particular fruit is the reason for the trip, since roadside stands sell what is ripe that week rather than working from a fixed list. Cash and a cooler are the traditional way to shop a stand like this, though it is worth asking on the phone whether card payment is now accepted before counting on it, since practices vary from one stand to the next along the same stretch of highway.
