Summerland Sweets

🍑 Sunshine in every jar.

Summerland Sweets started 1962 and has been capturing the natural abundance of the Okanagan Valley through jams, syrups, candies, and fruit leathers ever since! Food scientist Ted Atkinson founded the company that began in a simple picker’s cabin, where Ted crafted fruit jelly candies to raise funds for the local Rotary Club. It all started as a small retirement project but quickly turned into a beloved Canadian brand that remains family-run to this day.

The key to Summerland Sweets’ success is simple: use only tree- and vine-ripened fruit picked at peak maturity, and process it quickly to preserve its vibrant colour and fresh flavour. Each and every jar and package reflects a dedication to quality and the unique taste of the Valley’s harvest.
