Thank you to the Okanagan community for their spirit and support shown at the 10th Annual Organic Okanagan Festival at Summerhill Pyramid Winery! This year’s festival was a resounding success, with both familiar faces and new groups collaborating to present what felt like our most positive event yet.
With over 600 participants joining 42 Okanagan businesses and organizations, the event highlighted certified organic farming and food production and unveiled the Organic Okanagan Declaration.
Kelowna Now has great coverage of the OOF and Organic Okanagan declaration here:
