Okanagan Grown Produce Ltd has been operating since 1935. We have been marketing fresh Okanagan Grown fruits and vegetables for more than 80 years.
Originally incorporated as a marketing board and agency, the organization was established to act as brokers in the buying and selling of vegetables and to carry on the business of importer, exporter, buyer, seller, handler and trader of fruits, vegetables, farm, and garden produce.
As laid out in the BC Marketing Scheme & Act of 1934, a local Board was elected, and all growers were required to register with the Board. Once registered with the Board, growers could then sell their crops to the general market, through the marketing agency.
BC grown fruits and vegetables were shipped by train and boat to locations across Canada, USA, and as far away as Palestine, Manila, and Hong Kong.
The purpose of the Marketing Agency was to offer the freshest, best quality produce to buyers, and to maximize grower returns. From 1935 to 1940, the offices of the board and agency were in Armstrong. In 1941, we moved to Kelowna where we remained until 1970, when the offices were centralized in Vernon.
Today our company continues its work from Vernon, marketing local field crops, fruit crops, greenhouse crops, and storage crops.
At Okanagan Grown Produce, we believe in honesty, integrity, and hard work. We treat our producers and customers with respect and fairness, and we always strive to do the right thing, even when it's not the easiest option.
We work closely with our producers and customers to build strong, lasting partnerships that benefit our community.
By working together, we can achieve more than we ever could alone.
We love our customers, so feel free to visit during normal business hours.
