Just don't take our word....
I think I’ve done almost every job possible at CBF and every summer it’s been a new and awesome experience! You have to dedicate six full weeks of hard work and some pretty crazy hours but my jobs at CBF have paid my way through university and I’ve made some amazing friendships with people from all over the world!!

Our Farms
Coral
Beach Farms is a family farm owned by David and Laura Geen. We are the fourth
generation of the Geen family raising fruit in the Okanagan Valley; a tradition
started by C.H. Geen who planted orchards here in 1904. Fruit growing is in our
blood. We have the passion, and the intimate knowledge of the area's soils and
climates, needed to coax the finest possible cherries from our orchards.
We are supported by a dedicated and talented staff who are as committed to the
success of our farms as we are. Coral Beach Farms currently has 300 acres of
cherries in production, and to meet increasing demand, have plans to plant additional
acreage over the next 5 years. We are proud of our reputation in the
marketplace and our contributions to our community, and look forward to the
tradition sustaining itself with future generations of our family.
We are blessed to raise our cherries in one of the most scenic corners of the
world! Our photo gallery shows just a snapshot of the beauty that surrounds us.
Recruitment for the 2011 season is now open! We have a dedicated Camp Site if you would like to stay at the farm. Interested in a summer job cherry picking, cherry sorting, tractor driving and more? Check out our summer job board, photo gallery, day in the life of...and videos.
What we want to achieve
We consider it our mission to be the "first choice" supplier of customers demanding premium quality cherries throughout the months of July and August. We firmly believe that providing consistent premium fruit, available over a longer season, will attract a new following of devoted cherry lovers; to the benefit of all the stakeholders of Coral Beach Farms including our customers, our employees, and the final consumer.
Coral in Canada?
Yes, global warming is upon us, but no, there is no Coral in Canada! For the curious, Coral Beach Farms is named after the fine coral coloured shale that graces the beaches lining the northern shores of Okanagan Lake.
These pink coloured beaches contrasting with the deep blue of the lake give the area it's unique scenic character.
Jealous Fruits
When you come to the farm you will see a sign outside for Jealous Fruits. Jealous Fruits is the sales and marketing division of Coral Beach Farms and offers farm-direct cherries to qualified wholesale and retail partners around the globe.
