We are proud to share that our innovative, vertical approach to farming has been recognized in the B.C. community with an award for energy efficiency and sustainability.

The King’s representative in B.C. is visiting the South Okanagan this week, where she’ll tour a vertical farming operation, visit veterans and serve as guest of honour at the first-ever Indigenous Golf Championship of B.C.

Okanagan Falls has suffered a gradual economic decline, with few shops and restaurants populating the downtown area. However, that could be changing soon as last year, a full-service grocery store, Belich’s AG Foods, opened in town after several months without one. And more recently, the historic Ok Falls Hotel was purchased with plans to reopen.

A vertical farm, a business park, and a resurrection of the community’s traditional social hub and party palace.

Two and a half years ago PentictonNow wrote exhaustively about Okanagan Falls — its evaporating grocery store, its disappearing jobs, its decaying downtown, and those who were trying to turn the ship around.
