Our Vision  

Peachland, with a population nearing 5,000, is a unique community located along the Okanagan Lake. It is situated on the southwest shores of the lake between Kelowna and Penticton on Highway 97. Although tourism makes up a large part of Peachland's economy, Peachland is also known for its fruits and wines.

 Ogopogo... each year, sightings are reported of a creature some 20 to 50 feet long, with a horse shaped head and an undulating serpent like body.  Sightings have been reported throughout the length of the lake but the monster appears to favour an area just south of Kelowna in waters near Peachland.

SEABUCKTHORN IN THE WINTER

Seabuckthorn is a very hardy plant which grows well in the Central Plains of North America.  Its botanical name is Hippophae Rhamnoides L. which means “bright shining horse.” As described in the eighth century Tibetan medical book “Gyad Bzi”, Seabuckthorn contains over 190 nutritional compounds in the seeds, fruit and leaves. While each of these compounds is effective on its own, it is their synergies which make Seabuckthorn such a powerful nutraceutical. Seabuckthorn berries can stay on the branches throughout the winter providing nourishment for birds and small animals.
