Visitors to the Okanagan’s Golden Mile, home to British Columbia’s most celebrated wineries, might be surprised to glimpse a greenhouse tucked into the rolling vineyard landscape. But perhaps it should come as no surprise that the same high light and low humidity that nurture Canada’s finest wine grapes also yield some of its best-tasting organic greenhouse vegetables.
Shortly after Kan Randhawa immigrated to Canada from India in 1978, he took a job as a farm worker in BC’s Lower Mainland. He soon purchased five acres of his own, where he began growing raspberries. Over time, Kan added land and diversified into greenhouse seedless cucumber and pepper production. Today, along with his sons Ajay, Vijay and Amit, Kan grows in 48 acres of greenhouses, producing under the SunSelect brand.
