Steeped in tradition and farming practices, Gatzke’s Farm Market is a 3rd generation family owned and operated working orchard. Conveniently located close to Hwy 97 in the pristine landscape and vibrant community of Oyama, just 20 minutes north of the Kelowna International Airport and the mid-point between Vernon and Kelowna, lies an agricultural paradise. What started out as humble beginnings in the farming industry, has blossomed into a full fledge family operation producing award-winning fruit. Leo Gatzke, a young Polish immigrant first arrived to the Okanagan as a farm labourer in 1929. By 1942 he saved enough money to purchase a plot of land measuring 12 acres of planted orchards overlooking the dramatic views of the shimmering waterscape of Kalamalka and Wood Lake. Setting up a roadside fruit stand, this pioneer orchardist supplied ripe, juicy Okanagan tree fruit to local residents and welcomed visitors to the Okanagan each summer. Leo’s grandson Alan and his wife Ingrid continue to maintain the family operation and the legacy that his grandfather started 65 years ago. Situated on what is now 20 acres of farmland and producing in excess of 50 varieties of tree fruits throughout the year, Gatzke’s Farm Market has grown to include a licensed patio restaurant and café, farm market and bakery featuring garden-fresh organic produce, specialty products unique to the Okanagan including gourmet jams, jellies and grandma Gatzke’s famous homemade pies. Gatzke’s Farm Market has become a destination for travelers to hang their hat, discover the rich farm and agricultural history of the Okanagan Valley, and experience an old country market in the natural landscape of the Okanagan.
