Farms & Markets

Our family has been farming along the east shore of Skaha Lake for over 60 years. We grow 15 varieties of apples, 7 varieties of peaches along with plums, pears, table grapes, raspberries, tomatoes, corn and much more. Fruit is picked fresh daily and sold direct from the farm. More than your average fruit stand, it is constructed of straw bales, stucco and reclaimed wood. Matheson Creek Farm is truly a perfect place to experience some of the freshest fruit you will ever have.

Morningstar Farm is home to Little Qualicum Cheeseworks & MooBerry Winery, where we produce a selection of world-class cheeses & fruit wines to delight the senses. Made from the high quality milk of our own dairy cows, we have artisan cheeses to suit any occasion, meal or light snack. Stroll across the courtyard & visit the winery, where delectable fruit wines pair perfectly with our cheeses. So come visit us - take a look around, sample the different cheeses, taste the various wines, tour the farm & visit all the animals. We'd love to meet you!

A beautiful farm property with sweeping views of Okanagan Lake was the inspiration behind Okanagan Lavender Herb Farm, a family business that has developed a reputation as growers, producers & distillers of fine quality lavender products. The best blooming time for the lavender display gardens is early July, with distillation, a very fragrant time at the farm, occurring in early August. Wander our unique Herb Gardens which bloom throughout the growing season, or treat yourself to lavender-inspired goods at the Lavender Cafe. We invite you to come & entice your senses. Self-guided tour available in English, French, German & Spanish.

An Okanagan must. This family attraction now bigger! better! Plus booking corporate & group parties. Don't miss 'trapdoor starts' & racing lines unique to Oyama. Total of 7 zipline rides... some fast (clocked 85 km/hr), some high, some long with 180º panoramic lakeviews over Kalamalka Lake plus vineyard vistas over Wood Lake. The shuttle, tours & rope bridges are fun in themselves. 2-3 hrs, a thrill for every age. Best of all, Oyama Zipline is central & within 20 minutes of 20 beaches & parks. Scenic & pleasant routes so typically Okanagan. Within minutes of restaurants, patio bars, farmers' markets, art galleries, shopping.
