Rooted in the South Okanagan Since the 1930s

c. 1930 – 1945

Clearing the Land & Turning a Shack into a Home

In about 1930, Dad bought and cleared this piece of land in Osoyoos. He started with a little shack.

In 1945, Mom and Dad married, and together they began turning that shack into a home. But first there were tomatoes and then fruit to be harvested.
