No Okanagan stone fruit will be on the shelves this summer: grocer
An independent grocer in the Fraser Valley says its shelves that usually store Okanagan stone fruit over the summer will be completely bare this year after extreme weather wiped out many crops.
Lepp Farm Market in Abbotsford shared the news on its website last month, saying, “There’s just no way to soften the news.”
“I will give it to you straight. There will be no Okanagan stone fruit this year; the deep January freeze wiped out this summer’s crop of apricots, peaches, nectarines, and plums in the entire Okanagan valley.”
