About Parsons Farm Market
Buying produce within sight of the ground it grew on is the whole appeal of this valley, and Parsons Farm Market takes its place in that trade at 110 7th Avenue. Keremeos sits in a district where orchards, vineyards and market gardens share the valley floor, and where the roadside stands are numerous enough to have given the village its reputation across two valleys.
Markets of this kind run on a short calendar and a long day. The season opens with the earliest soft fruit and closes with storage apples and squash in the autumn, and in between the tables turn over every couple of weeks as one crop finishes and the next comes ready. Selection moves with the weather as much as with the date, since a hot spell pulls everything forward and a wet week pushes it back, so the same visit two summers running can look quite different.
Reach the market at 250-499-2312, and look for Parsons Farm Market on Facebook, where seasonal news tends to appear first. That is the practical route if you are driving any distance, because a stand opens and closes on the crop rather than on the calendar. Ask about flat and case prices if you are canning, ask what is at its best that week rather than what is simply on the table, and bring cooler space, since the Similkameen in midsummer is hard on a box of ripe fruit left sitting in a warm car.
