Join the Okanagan Indian Band, the Regional District of North Okanagan and Young Agrarians for a Farm Tour and Potluck at sncəcmałqtn Agricultural Park in Vernon! Come check out what’s going on at the sncəcmałqtn Agricultural Park! Previously known as the “BX Ranchlands,” this property was newly named the sncəcmałqtn Agricultural Park in consultation with the Okanagan Indian Band, to honour the Syilx Territory it is part of. sncəcmałqtn translates to “place of small crops or garden” (for a pronunciation guide please refer to this audio recording ). The spacious site was recently transformed into a public park, farm and land-sharing project. Last year, the Regional District of North Okanagan opened applications for small farm plots (in collaboration with the B.C. Land Matching Program ), and many farmers have now moved into the space. Currently, there are still plots available. We’ll enjoy a tour of the park and will learn about the history of the land and how the area came to be what it is today. Haley, your regional Land Matcher, will also be there to discuss how the B.C. Land Matching Program can help you to find a farmer for your land, or find land to start or expand your farm business (at the sncəcmałqtn Agricultural Park or elsewhere). There will be plenty of opportunity to ask questions about the project and the plots of land available for lease. Join us to connect with other farmers, food lovers and members of the community, while sharing a delicious potluck meal and learning more about this community space. We can’t wait to see you there! DATE: Sunday, May 25, 2025 • 10 am – 1 pm LOCATION: Syilx Territory. 4122 East Vernon Road, Vernon, BC DIRECTIONS/PARKING/CARPOOL: There is parking available at the park, right off of East Vernon Road. Look out for the gravel parking lot on your left, after turning right from the road. If you are looking for or can offer a ride to/from the event, you can organize carpooling through the Facebook event (coming soon). Please do not bring pets to the event. Kids are welcome!

Bring along a chair or blanket to sit on, a water bottle, and any sunscreen and insect repellant you might need. Make sure to wear weather and farm-suitable clothing and footwear – the event will proceed rain or shine (though there are tents available for the potluck in case of rain). For restroom facilities, there is one porta potty set up on-site. ACCESSIBILITY : At the entrance of the park is a gravel parking area, and the farming area we’ll be touring is mostly grassy and uneven, with some dirt roads throughout the park.
