But if you do decide to get fresh and local produce then you must visit them. This is a family run business that grows organic and local and they always have nice surprises like baby zucchini and squash flowers and berries that the other stands don't have. and what makes them my favourite place is not because there is this connection we feel we have. It's the buttered corn. Hahaha yes . Well, that and they're great people. My mom loves this stand too. Sure the other places have lots to offer, but when you get to meet the people here at Parsons and see and hear their passion behind their farming. You'll understand why we keep coming back when we're in town. A family tradition we've kept over the years.

They also have a selection of canned goods, fruit syrups and other local delights. Most of the fruit under their roof was grown by a member of the family, too! This used to be the location of the only banana farm in all of Canada. But, sadly, when Joe Fernandes died the bananas went with him. His children continue to run the fruit stand and greenhouses on the property.

You may *think* you know how good fresh corn tastes, but you don't really know...unless you have had same-day fresh corn from Fernandes Fruit. Their late July crop is so unbelievably sweet and crisp and in every way the exact thing that an ear of corn would want to be that all the other corn should just give up, already. And you'll find a lot more than just corn: peppers, amazing cukes, peaches, apricots, berries...plus an array of local pickles, jams and pies. The locally made pies are EXCELLENT...as were all the veggies and most of the fruit, though the peaches, tomatoes and cherries were just okay and not mind-blowing. Overall, an excellent array of produce, much of it fresh from the field...all you need for a great salad, and if you're feeling veggie-centric, a delicious dinner!

Turn in when their products are in season & youve entered fruit & veggie heaven!. They sell fruit & veg in their fruit stand but its also a you pick. In the summer its just bustling w people: customers, workers, family, children & animals. Its quite a happy atmosphere. The fruits & vegetables are top quality w minimal spray. U pick is also fun. It wont take long & your bucket will be full of goodness. The prices are also the best. U pick is a little less than already picked but compared to the supermarket in the city well theres just no comparison. Whatever is in season the city supermarket has tiny imported low quality product compared to what you get fresh off a tree or out of their rows & rows of vegetables. Red Russian garlic in the city if you can find it cost $3 or more a stem. Here its 99¢ / lb for example. Yes factor in gas fr Vancouver & its costly but its a wonderful field trip for us. Oh dont forget protect yourself fr mosquitoes when you come.

There are so many more flavors than just raspberry and blueberry, and more jams than I could count. When we visited we were stunned for a moment when we walked in, and we shopped for a long time. Along with all the fruit-flavored goodies there are so may cute home items and decor to look at, as well as ice cream (there was a busy line for this while we were shopping). Summerland Sweets is in the middle of a number of wineries and made for a great break from wine tasting (including wonderful clean public washrooms). This is now a mandatory stop when we visit the Summerland area, and my only regret is not going home with one of the 4L jugs of syrup!

We toured the area this time and bumped into Summerland sweets. What a great find! We walked in and found shelves and shelves of jam, fruit candies, pottery, fruit wines, and an ice cream counter in the back. Our group of 10 all stopped for an ice cream and we were so glad we did! They offer two types of cones and a bunch of different flavors of ice cream. The standard scoop is HUGE. The ice cream prices are very cheap (see photo) and the scoops are generous. The girls working the counter are very friendly and were super nice with our 4 seniors (all over age 85) who were trying to decide what to get. The cherry ice cream was a huge hit! There is also a wine tasting room where they serve fruit wines. The colors are beautiful and the wine tasting is free. We ended up with some fruit flavored candy for my husband to bring back to work (in Houston). We don't do a lot of touristy type things when we go to the Okanagan, so this was a wonderful place to stop, close to where we were staying. I highly recommend Summerland Sweets for a quick stop for ice cream, wine tasting, and gift shopping. If you love maple syrup or fruit syrup they sell that too!
