Salmon Arm has been orchard country for over a century. Early settlers quickly discovered that the region’s rich glacial soils, long sunny summers, and cool nights created ideal growing conditions — and the orchards they planted still thrive today.
From crisp apples and sweet cherries to sun-ripened peaches and plums, the farms surrounding Salmon Arm invite you to slow down, fill a basket, and taste the season straight from the source.
