    Such a beautiful produce stand! The variety is incredible and the displays are a feast for the eyes. They go all out to celebrate the season — it’s the perfect spot to soak up that cozy fall feeling.

  • Matthew Perry

    Loved this fruit stand. The staff were super friendly and helpful to us pointing out which things were truly local (which is everything in the picture plus loads more inside). They sell some local jams and sauces etc too. All the produce was very fresh and undamaged. Open pretty late too.

    The Bear Fruit Stand, Keremeos, BC just outside of town on highway 3A, is a must visit place around Halloween. They have always put up the best pumpkin patch Halloween display in the region. Kids love it and demand to visit yearly. The fruit stand sells quality farm fresh produce year round, and at reasonable prices. Huge variety of farm to home products. Lovely atmosphere and friendly staff make this a place to stop every time I pass by.

    A great, fresh and local (sometimes regional) selection of produce, meats and other related goods. Must stop off on any visit through Keremeos or Penticton area taking the #3. Wonderful staff, competitive pricing, wholesome store with high quality goods.

  • Margie

    What an amazing selection of fruit, veggies, jams, syrups etc and such lovely displays! The pumpkin display celebrating fall was so cute! We bought many things on both visits!

  • Ashley W

    The produce here looks amazing! This place is an oasis. Pumpkins all around in orange and white and more peppers than I think I have ever seen. Gorgeous.

    Through my childhood this has been our go to stop for fruit, local honey and pumpkins! Every Thanksgiving weekend we would stop by and it was always the best stop, and the staff are friendly, you can let fido stretch his legs! I haven't been in years as I moved out east but this year for Thanksgiving I happened to be driving from Calgary to Vancouver. I made a detour just to stop here and boy was it worth it!
