About Us

Ravens View Farm's orchard is known for its succulent all-natural, tree-ripened stone fruit in particular peaches and plums. 

Master chefs throughout the Central Okanagan Valley appreciate Ravens View Farm's produce, which are featured on their restaurants' menus.  

Six varieties of free-stone peaches ripen throughout the growing season late July through early September. All the varieties are wonderful fresh, frozen or canned. First is the early ripening Harrow Diamond offering the first taste of the season, followed by Harbrites, the wonderful Red and Glo Havens people rave about, then Canadian Harmonies, and, finally, the famed Suncrest featured in the book “Epitaph for a Peach,”  which inspired Alison to become a peach orchardist. This and because what else would one grow in Peachland, but peaches!   

More than 40 heritage plum trees offering two varieties of yellow plums, Italian Prune, Santa Rosa, and many more. These have become a mainstay at the Peachland Farmers Market. Once visitors taste the juicy tree-ripened plum, the are converts and come back for more.  

You can now pre-order peaches and plums in advance for pick up at the Ravens View Farm booth at the Peachland Farmers and Crafters Market on Sunday’s 10:00 am - 2:00 pm or click on the order tab on this website to schedule a pick-up. 

The perennial culinary herb garden features the most popular herbs for every kitchen including: basil, parsley, chives, fennel, oregano, sage, savoury, thyme, tarragon, lemon balm and more. 

The Lavender Spiral of Life Labyrinth at Raven's View Farm invites visitors to explore and experience walking meditation.  The labyrinth is believed to be an archetype created in the collective unconscious. 

A labyrinth is a spiral path that was used in ancient rituals as a symbol of initiation, death and rebirth, fertility and was used in rites to honour mother earth and to commemorate the spiritual journey.  The Labyrinth at Raven's View Farm is different from the traditional pattern you may have encountered in churches, hospitals or parks. It is a series of seven lavender spirals, planted within a seven-pointed star anchored by Prairie Skyrise Aspens. 

These columnar trees are the pillars that demarcate this temple garden dedicated to Gaia, Goddess of the Earth. Each tree becomes your entry point into the labyrinth. Marked by seven different varieties of lavender you walk in the direction our planet spins, clockwise, from one lavender plant to the next one of its kind in the next row around the seven rays of the star in a spiral until you reach the centre. 

Mark and Alison decided to immigrate from Boulder, Colorado after the 2004 elections when George W. Bush was re-elected President. Aren't we glad we did!  

Their parallel journey of immigration and exploration of natural farming is chronicled in Alison’s blog, Musings from Peachland. They became Canadian Citizens in March 2015!  ​  Alison has been an arts administrator extraordinaire for more than 30 years. A devotee of dance, she served as the Executive Director for Ballet Kelowna while pursuing her life-long dream to become an organic farmer on a small family farm. Now she is a Partner in Oomph! Consulting and a Life Cycle Celebrant performing weddings, Celebrations of Life and seasonal ceremonies.
