Orchards of Summerland British Columbia, Canada

The earthy goodness of the Summerland BC harvest can be found in a wide array of quaint country fruit stands and agri-tourism operations located throughout the community. From the fragrant blossoms of spring to the golds and reds of autumn, the Summerland landscape is a kaeidoscope of the colours and textures that bring you the bountiful harvest.

 

Summerland BC is surrounded by farms and orchards. Agricultural roots run deep with a long tradition of cattle ranching and fruit growing. A federal government agricultural research station was established in Summerland BC in 1914 (now the Pacific Agri-Food Research Centre) and many fruit varieties have been developed there. Summerland remains an agricultural community and the tradition continues to evolve with vineyards joining orchards on the sunny slopes. Fresh produce is readily available in season, from markets or U-pick, and local attractions make it easy to enjoy the area's farms and orchards.

The History of Summerland BC - Summerland has a rich history that makes it a 'special' place for eveyone today........

Summerland ~ A Brief History

Summerland BC

"There no cloud shall dim the sky, in that happy home on high, In that heavenly Summer Land, in that heavenly Summer Land."

This is an excerpt from a spiritualist hymn that was sung at séances. It inspired town promoter J.M. Robinson to name the community Summerland in his efforts to entice the early settlers. Sir Thomas Shaughnessy, President of the Canadian Pacific Railway, had developed a great love for this area and in 1902 he formed the Summerland Development Company and hired Robinson to promote the new fruit ranching community, as Robinson had done in Peachland and would later do in Naramata. The first Summerland townsite was situated on Okanagan Lake.
