To further and taste your taste buds there is an array of chocolates, sponge coffee and other goodies. Seniors cones with one scoop are also available.

For example the 50 shades of earl grey didn't taste like earl grey but the ice cream was still nice and creamy. Not the cheapest scoop of ice cream but a treat in the area. Quite hard to narrow down what to try and get so it's always a good idea to stop by. 4 stars for the variety and opening till 10 pm 7 days a week.

This Western cowboy-themed store has a unique ambiance, and the product labels also carry a cowboy theme, making them perfect souvenirs from Kelowna. I received a few free samples, including BBQ sauce, dressing, and sausages. They were so delicious! I usually find other brand's sauces and dressings too tangy, but theirs were very mild, flavorful, and clearly crafted with care. I decided to purchase sausages, BBQ sauce, salad dressing, and vinaigrette. I've already decided to purchase their BBQ sauce, dressing, and sausages again. Their dessert sauces and other items look great too, so I'll definitely try different products on my next visit.

The small restaurant/market offered different kinds of fish and chips at different price points. There was Cod, Haddock, Halibut, Prawns and Oysters, and we chose to split the Haddock and chips, with extra coleslaw and tartar sauce. The Haddock arrived quickly and hot, with a piece for each of us, and a handful of fries - even for a split dish, there were really large portions. The fish was perfectly fried, and inside, tender and melted in my mouth. The chips were crispy, and I enjoyed dipping them in both the ketchup and tartar. They also provided both white and malt vinegar which I appreciated. After lunch, we perused the market area and saw there were giant crab legs, octopus, lots of fresh fish, poke, smoked fish and crab. I had my eye on the sushi-grade Ahi which I will take home next time to make my own sushi. There were also jars of sauces and dressings, and I spied ghost pepper sauce for the next time I need a good flavor boost. The prices were reasonable, and everything seemed fresh and clean. Looking forward to returning!

And I wasn't wrong with this one. Row Fourteen offers farm to table or locally produced items on the menu. So menu can change depending on what is available. Restaurant has a rustic vibe to it but not your typical old, rustic theme but rather modern updated rustic atmosphere. Open kitchen and indoor as well as outdoor dining is available. Service was prompt and we were seated right away. I ordered their cider flight and that was a great choice. I got to taste 4 of their ciders and value wise, I think it was a good deal. And their ciders were quite tasty and I ended up getting 2 bottles of them to go. We started with order of sourdough bread and pickles. Sourdough with the butter (I really wish I had taken a picture of the menu) was a bit hit. We ended up ordering 2 more sourdough. I had wanted to order the steak but unfortunately for us, they only had 2 steaks left so I graciously gave up my steak and ordered their aged cheddar burger ok brioche bun. And the burger knocked it out of the park. Normally, I feel grossed out after eating a burger but this wasn't greasy at all. On a nice brioche bun, aged cheddar complimented the juice beef patty. Others who ordered the steak raved about the mustard sauce it came with. We ended the meal with pavlova and zucchini cake. I have never had pavlova like this. It was light and crispy and not overly sweet. It was a fabulous dining experience and definitely a memorable meal for me. Also, I tasted the cabbage and man, that was sooo good. Even my son who doesn't like cabbage raved about it.

Padron peppers- as they described it as Russian roulette with varying spice levels of peppers. I was the lucky one that had one that brought me to tears. But still a great dish! Cauliflower- one of our favourite dishes. The bean puree on the bottom with the salsa macha elevated the dish. The flavours were tasty and it was a dish I'll remember for awhile. Tagliatelle and meatballs- this dish brought warmth to our meal. The pasta was cooked perfectly and had a bit of chew. We ended the night off with a crumble that I wasn't a huge fan of. The oats were too dry on top, but I did like the flavour profile of the crumble with the peach leaf ice cream (if I remember it correctly). Overall, the rest of the meal was delicious.

Today we took two cars so the whole family could join in, including grand children, and take photos at the best pumpkin display in Keremeos - not just my opinion either; I saw in the Keremeos paper last year it was named the #1 display and it was on page 1. So it is more than my favourite. It's in the sunshine and today my Dad, 85 years old posed behind the tractor. Lots of pics today of everyone. There were a lot of others today with the same goal of photos with the pumpkin display while getting some vegetable shopping done. The genuine authentic smiles from the owners each and every time we visit are always appreciated as are the fair prices. When my wife makes relish they fresh pick the morning she is coming so it's perfect for her canning later. My wife's relish is the best !

It's the buttered corn. Hahaha yes . Well, that and they're great people. My mom loves this stand too. Sure the other places have lots to offer, but when you get to meet the people here at Parsons and see and hear their passion behind their farming.
