Paynter Fruit Market is a market and u-pick farm in West Kelowna BC…read more The farm offers guided tours of the orchard, which is quite nice!! We did our own picking of fruits, which were peaches and golden plums. Flowers, pumpkins and pears can also be picked up. The market itself has a full variety of BC fruits and vegetables, along with products made locally. Paynter's market is one of MANY orchards, farms and markets in the Okanagan valley which sells produce!! The ambiance is very nice and warm. It's nice to go to an orchard and pick your own fruits and vegetables, which can of course be eaten fresh, but used for other prepared dishes and preserves. Service at Paynter's is very professional and friendly, and very knowledgeable of local produce and items.

I've been afraid of bees since I was stung once when I was little. I still am…read more However, visiting the honey farm on the annual Day of the Honeybee held in Kelowna gave me a better understanding of the behavior of bees. They had honey tasting; my favorite is the cinnamon and lavender flavors. They had wines from Tantalus Vineyards, one of the vineyards where they loan their bees to continuously pollinate the grape vines, they also had a tour of the farm, where the master beekeeper takes out the bee hive from a box and does a little bit of show and tell. But the best part was a group to one conversation with the master bee keeper, who has been taking care of bees for 25 years. She told us that bees are, in fact, endangered and that we shouldn't be pulling out the dandelions from our yard, because it helps sustain the environment for bees. I learned that bees won't sting unless it's for a very good reason, because they die, when their stinger is pulled away from their body. We had a wonderful time, getting educated. But that didn't stop us from swerving on the road when we found out a bee hitched a ride with us in the car. Don't worry, he was let out unharmed.

Oof! It was a little bit of a let-down in terms of "farm". First off, we didn't even get to see the…read more"farm". Parking is located right outside the honey shop. So, into the honey shop we went. A sweet, young girl the only person there, and she confessed to being very, very new - first-week-on-the-job new - which meant that we were not going to get much information out of her. I asked if they offered tours of the farm, and they do not. There is a small viewing deck beside the shop, but it was simply not the type of viewing you'd expect on an actual honey farm. We thought to ourselves: "We've seen bees... Let's just get the honey and scram." And so we did. There is a set-up in the middle of the shop, a tasting station if you will. All the different kinds of honey were laid out in little jars along with a container of tasting picks. The flavours were interesting. Besides natural honey, they had Vanilla, Ginger, Cinnamon, Wildflower, etc. We tasted every flavour, and settled on the Wildflower honey. When it comes to honey, I just want the natural honey taste. The Wildflower gave the natural honey just a touch of floral scent, which was fine by me. With that said, all the flavourings used are real and natural - or so we were told! The jar of Wildflower honey has been tasty and good so far. I'm enjoying little spoonfuls with my tea everyday.

I was surprised that I was able to cobble together a dinner from here. They do have a small deli section and I spied a goat brie that looked interesting. I asked for that, and a scoop of mixed olives. On the shelves I was surprised to find those addictive Rainforest Crisps. Those few items combined with the fruit in our car, dinner is a success! I went to pay and was shocked to be charged $20 for the wheel of cheese - la la la don't want to drive back to Penticton, don't want to eat at the one restaurant in town - I ignored the price. The olives were delicious. The crackers were stale. On the plus side, they do sell chilled white wine, in case you weren't able to keep the bottles you bought all day at the wineries cool enough.

Although the macarons were good, the best I've had were at Bon Macaron Patisserie in Vancouver. However, the other sweets were outstanding. I highly recommend the Moulin Rouge (flourless mousse cake) any of the chocolates that include caramel, and the cherry ganache (candy). They also had mille-feuille, which is made of thin layers of pastry with pastry cream in between. It blew my mind. Service was okay. The young women who worked in both places were super busy and a bit impatient. As far ambiance goes, everything was bright white and clean. Expect a line.

I really liked the spot and would definitely recommend trying the food, but their ordering system needs some work. There were three people working, but instead of each person having a specific role, they all seemed to rotate between taking orders, heating food, and making coffee, so we waited 20 minutes for our coffees! It would be a much better customer experience if each person had a dedicated job, especially when it's busy. Overall, the food was good and it's a lovely little spot. Worth trying, but expect you may have to wait!
