agriculture & agritourism If you’re looking to get back to the land, you’re in the right place. The Shuswap is one of the most fertile areas of BC. Rich with fruit and produce, the area provides visitors with an opportunity to experience farming and agriculture first hand. You’ll find orchards, gardens, ranches, greenhouses, dairies, markets and more. Come visit our ranches and gardens to find out what our local farmers already know: that working with the land can be blissful rest for the soul. If you’ve ever wondered what it would be like to live and work on a farm, ask us! During the summer and fall, visitors can participate in workshops and tours at some farms, talk with experienced growers before taking home vegetable and bedding plants for their own gardens. Not got green fingers? How about learning about livestock and sustainable farming at a ranch? Don’t worry if you can’t make it to a farm for a tour. With farmers’ markets across the region, you can still easily find a bounty of locally grown and organic fruits, vegetables and meats – and great local colour – as well as crafts, baked goods, preserves and much more. Take a leisurely stroll, grab a snack and share a smile! Farmers’ markets are popular in Blind Bay, Celista, Chase, Enderby, Falkland, Malakwa, Salmon Arm, Scotch Creek, Sicamous and Sorrento. The Shuswap is renowned for some incredible dairies that export throughout the country. Fresh milk and great cheeses – not to mention mind-blowing ice cream! – all contribute to the Shuswap taste extravaganza. Get a true taste of some of BC’s best down-to-earth goodness at some of the following farms and markets: • DeMille’s Sweet Corn & Produce • Geier’s Fruit & Berry Farm 22 | www.ShuswapTourism.ca
