Inspection summary

Don-O-Ray Vegetables has been inspected 8 times by Interior Health Authority since June 8, 2018. The most recent inspection, on June 9, 2026, found no infractions.

1 of 8 inspections on record found no infractions at all. In the past 12 months there was 1 inspection with 0 infractions recorded. The higher-risk findings here relate to: Cleaning and sanitizing, Handwashing and staff hygiene and Food temperature control.

The number of infractions per inspection has stayed roughly the same over time.

What these findings mean

Health authorities word their violations differently, so we group them by what they mean for food safety. Higher-risk findings are the ones inspectors treat as critical, because they can directly make someone sick.

  • Cleaning and sanitizingHigher risk

    Anything that touches food, such as cutting boards, dishes and utensils, must be washed, rinsed and sanitized. Inspectors check dishwasher temperatures, sanitizer strength and how wiping cloths are stored. Poor sanitizing lets bacteria survive from one use to the next.

    Recorded 3 times across 3 separate inspections, most recently on August 12, 2025. For example: 3 Are food contact surfaces, utensils and equipment washed and sanitized in a manner that removes/prevents contamination?

  • Handwashing and staff hygieneHigher risk

    Hands are the main way germs like norovirus move from people to food. Inspectors look for stocked, accessible handwashing sinks, staff washing hands when required, hair restraints, and sick employees being kept away from food. Gaps here can spread illness quickly.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on August 12, 2025. For example: 7 Are there handwashing stations available and properly supplied?

  • Food temperature controlHigher risk

    Bacteria multiply fastest between about 4 °C and 60 °C (40 °F to 140 °F). Inspectors check that cold food stays cold, hot food stays hot, cooked food is cooled quickly, and that staff have accurate thermometers. Temperature problems are one of the most common causes of food poisoning, so these are treated as critical findings.

    Recorded 2 times across 2 separate inspections, most recently on June 18, 2019. For example: 2 Are proper temperature controls maintained to ensure safe storage and display of foods?

  • Permits, records and postingLower risk

    Operating permits, required signage, written procedures and logs. These findings are administrative: the documentation was missing or out of date at the time of inspection.

    Recorded once on July 6, 2021. For example: 1 Are proper cooking procedures followed?

  • Food safety training and certificationLower risk

    Most jurisdictions require a certified food handler or manager on site, and some require allergen or food-worker training. These findings mean the paperwork or the trained person was missing at the time. They do not by themselves mean food was handled unsafely.

    Recorded once on June 18, 2019. For example: 6 Are the FOODSAFE training requirements being met?

    We had such a wonderful time at Don-O-Ray Farm! It’s the perfect family outing, especially with young children. The animals are friendly and well cared for, and there are so many fun activities to keep little ones entertained. My child absolutely loved feeding the goats and visiting all the different animals, and getting the spray on tattoos included with admissions. My husband loved the archery beside the pony. And the staff were welcoming and friendly, and the whole farm has a warm, family-oriented atmosphere. The grounds are clean, well maintained, and full of charming touches that make the experience feel special. We also enjoyed browsing the market and picking up some fresh local products. If you’re looking for a fun, affordable, and memorable family adventure in the Okanagan, I highly recommend Don-O-Ray Farm. We ended up getting the seasons pass and go every weekend.

    We visited the farm with my three year old son on our recent trip to Kelowna and it was well worth the visit! The farm is small but it is so clean and the animals are very clearly happy and well cared for, which is the number one thing for me when visiting an animal focussed attraction. The other activities were all fun and over all it was the perfect choice to spend a couple hours on an overcast afternoon!

    Such an awesome place! Staff so friendly and easy to talk to! There was this one girl that was in tattoos at the time, I believe her name was Ema, and she gave my daughter such a beautiful butterfly. My daughter was not sure about the tattoos at first and was a bit hesitant to get one, and this very nice girl made her feel so comfortable. I’ve never seen such a change in her mood like I did that day. After that I had a lovely conversation with her, and I learned a lot about animals! Such a lovely place to visit

    We had a birthday party for my son. The kids had a blast with so much space to run and play, and a great variety of animals and activities to keep them entertained. The staff members were very friendly and helpful and the party area was spacious and covered. We’ve done birthday parties at many of the popular indoor venues in town but Don-o-Ray has been our favourite. It excellent value and very affordable for bigger groups at only $10 per person.
