This is a great local market and what I like about it is they bring in fruit and vegetables from all over the Okanagan to this one place, also many home-made jams/syrups/condiments, there is an ice-cream shop, and you can use your credit/debit card which is handy. Also, the Paynter family has been operating their farms/orchards for a very long time and have recently added an organic vineyard/winery -- "Off The Grid" winery.
