Fruit has been a part of the Okanagan Valley for as long as anyone can remember.
The idea of the orchard was brought into the area in 1862 and since then Okanagan fruit has been constantly improving and growing throughout the region. The numerous climates within the region provide ideal growing conditions for our delicious and pristine fruits. Since 1936, BC Tree Fruits helped to promote not just British Columbia’s amazing apples, but also pears, cherries, apricots, peaches, prune plums and nectarines. In addition to our amazing tree fruits, we also grow table grapes!
Now under new ownership, which includes the expertise of the Kemp Family from Algoma Orchards—who have been growing fruit in Ontario for decades—BC Tree Fruits brings generations of farming experience to the Okanagan. With three modern packing and receiving facilities, the company combines local orchard expertise with advanced packing lines and storage capabilities. The BC Tree Fruits leaf continues to stand for flavourful, locally grown produce cultivated using natural and sustainable methods—delivering fruit that’s as local and fresh as it gets.
Our local grower families work together alongside BC Tree Fruits as part of a larger community. Each grower nurtures their orchards to create the best possible fruit, and is responsible for the care, picking of and transporting of nature’s candy to BC Tree Fruits. The industry professional side of BC Tree Fruits provides expertise in promoting, packaging and transporting the brand to customers. Each person within the cooperative is a part of the bigger picture and plays an important role in providing you with the fruits you love.
As an innovative company, BC Tree Fruits is constantly working to improve the quality of the fruit our growers produce. This includes assistance with sales, marketing, accounting, technology, shipping and regulation compliance. We ensure that growers have state of the art equipment, are replacing trees and varieties when needed, and are always taking steps forward to better serve our customers.
