Where are we located?
Keremeos is a beautiful town located on the banks of the Similkameen River less than 40 minutes from Penticton. Known as one of the fastest growing villages in B.C., Keremeos has seen unprecedented growth in recent years. Its residents enjoy mild winters, a dry climate, and long hot summers.
The Keremeos climate is ideal for fruit growing and is home to a number of award-winning wineries. The area has one of the highest concentrations of organic fruit and vegetable producers in B.C. Full of hiking and riding trails, including the pristine Cathedral Provincial Park, Keremeos is an active community.
We love it here…
“The people in Keremeos embrace small town living yet still have the convenience of bigger towns and cities nearby. We work hard at our orchards, wineries, cattle ranches, and jobs, but we love taking a Sunday afternoon off to relax and float down the Similkameen River. We enjoy having almost any fresh fruit or vegetable we could wish for right in our back yard! We walk down the street and say hi and smile to anyone we pass – Keremeos is definitely small town living at its best!” – Wendy Stewart, Community Health Clerk, South Similkameen Health Centre
