Covert Farms Agricultural Preservation Society

What We Grow

Over 600 acres of sand made up what is today Covert Farms. People laughed when George Covert bought the desert-like piece of land. Today, Covert Farms is a symbol of success, producing bountiful harvests. The farm in those days was not much different then it is now. Growing large acreages of tomatoes, onion, potatoes, corn and grapes, while struggling to find enough labour and equipment, and being dependant on the whims of the weather.

Covert Farms is still one of the leaders in quality fruit and vegetable production in the Okanagan. We are a major shipper of fresh field tomatoes, sweet onions, sweet corn, muskmelons and table grapes. We still supply fruit stands, truckers and major wholesalers in western Canada as well as continuing our tradition of offering the freshest produce to the retail public. Our goal is to continue providing the highest quality of fruits and vegetables to the public and to promote and support a healthy community and agrotourism in the South Okanagan.
