About Keremeos Fruit Market
Keremeos Fruit Market sits on 3073 Highway 3, a five acre working orchard with more than five hundred feet of frontage directly on the highway, which puts a long stretch of trees in view of anyone driving past rather than tucked behind a stand set back from the road. Selling from the same ground the fruit is grown on is the ordinary model in this valley, and a frontage this long is part of what makes a stand easy to spot on a first drive through.
An orchard operation selling straight off its own land generally times its stand around whichever crop is currently coming off the trees, meaning the mix on the tables changes every couple of weeks across a season that typically opens with cherries and closes with apples and other storage fruit in the fall. Buying at a stand attached to the orchard itself, rather than a market that buys in from several growers, usually means the fruit came off the tree very recently rather than having sat in transport or storage.
The market can be reached at 250-499-0481. Given how closely a working orchard's stand hours follow the crop and the weather, calling ahead is worth doing before a special trip out, particularly early or late in the season when a stand may not be open every day. As with any roadside seller along this stretch of Highway 3, bringing cooler space and being ready to buy by the flat or the case if a particular fruit is at its peak will make the stop worthwhile.
