About Mom and Pop's Farm Market
The village is known across the region as the fruit stand capital, and Mom and Pop's Farm Market is part of the trade that earned it the name. The market stands at 230 7th Avenue in Keremeos, the sort of address where cars from the Okanagan side pull in with empty coolers in the back and a vague intention to buy only one box.
A valley market sells on a calendar rather than a list. The Similkameen grows tree fruit, grapes and vegetables from market gardens of every description, with organic growers unusually well represented here, and what is on the tables in early summer bears little resemblance to what is there in October. That is the pleasure of buying at the source, and it is also the reason to ask questions: whatever came in that morning is usually the thing worth carrying home.
The market can be reached at 250-499-2986, and momandpopsfarmmarket.com is worth a look before a long drive, because a season has a beginning and an end and both of them move with the weather. If you are putting up preserves or filling a freezer, ask about buying by the flat or the case and about ordering a quantity ahead, which normally needs a few days. Bring more cooler space than you think you need, since the drive back over to the Okanagan or up the valley is warm work through July and August.
