About Us

Our Story...

When an unfortunate roofing accident occurred in 1996, none of our family could guess that the end outcome would be a thriving business in the Okanagan valley. We had never even heard of Osoyoos. That is exactly what happened when my dad had a work injury while roofing and would never be able to roof again. Our family came to Osoyoos in 1996 to take a vacation, during the visit our relatives asked if we wanted to look at an orchard and my mom scoffed! “Why look at an orchard? It’s not like we’re going to buy one,” she said. Long story short, Peach Hill Farm was the first orchard we looked at. I don’t know what my dad saw in it but in a true entrepreneurial spirit he did not hesitate to put an offer down having no fruit farming experience. The offer got accepted shortly after, so when we got back to Vancouver we put our house on sale and we had a sold sign up within 3 days. The synchronism was incredible. We were moving to the Okanagan.

Learning the craft of farming...

Farming is one tough craft to learn. It is a year round job and picking is only one of duties. All work is done by hand and only minimal duties such as cutting the grass is done by machines. That includes pruning in the winter when the trees are dormant, thinning in the spring and picking in the summer and fall.

Many people may think farming is just about waiting for the fruit to grow and picking it, but there is a massive learning curve. Pruning, thinning, picking, and spraying are just a few skills to be learnt. That means inspecting and working on every branch of every tree many times per year. The first few years my parents would volunteer at orchards and work for free in order to learn the craft, and then come back home and apply what they learned. Over the years we have built a loyal customer base and have gone from knowing absolutely nothing about farming to becoming highly knowledgeable and resourceful!
