The Okanagan Valley is well into harvest time and there’s a note on my calendar reminding me to stock up on in-season favourites. This farmer’s granddaughter may still get excited about exploring the pumpkin patches and farmer’s markets in Kelowna and the nearby towns. Each and every fall!
From purchasing apples to picking out a pumpkin, below is a list of some of my favourite local spots to visit in October.
