Part of healthy living naturally in Keremeos is access to fresh, clean fruits and vegetables. There are a dozen fruit stands in the Village. Everything tastes good when it is fresh from the farm, but the Lower Similkameen is particularly noted for the flavours of its peaches, nectarines and tomatoes. Now here is a statistic we are proud of: over 200 kinds of peppers are grown organically in the Keremeos area. That is why our harvest festival is the Similkameen Sizzle. See you there, we hope.
