Welcome to Klippers Organic Acres New Biosphere Committed Company
Klippers Organics Acres
At Klippers Organics Acres, they believe that sustainable, healthy, and delicious food is essential. They are a Certified Organic farm located in the heart of the Okanagan in the beautiful Similkameen Valley.
They joined the Biosphere Commitment Program because Klippers Organics Acres aligns with what the program is all about. They have been working on similar projects since their start of farming over 30 years ago.
Sustainability means to Klippers Organics Acres that they leave the land better than how they found it. They look at their entire footprint of the farm, the guest suites, restaurant, cidery, and Café/Marketplace and work within all of these areas to be sustainable. Klippers Organics Acres uses the fruit and vegetables from the farm to supply the restaurant, cidery, and café. Using sustainable energy sources where applicable and any food waste that does come from the restaurant or café then goes back to the farm and is turned into compost.
Sustainability is everything for Klippers Organic Acres. First they are organic farmers and believe in leaving the soil better then how they found, building the organic matter up year after year. They were also one of the first to start harvesting the sun with a solar hot water system, then used geothermal energy for heating and cooling their house. They successfully put 80 solar panels on poles for energy consumption and they plan to continue to expand in that direction.
