The OFIBC is located in the lower Similkameen Valley. Cawston is at the centre of the Valley’s farmland. Keremeos is the nearest municipality.

The lower Similkameen Valley is an ideal location for the OFIBC due to the number and variety of working organic farms.

Organic and sustainable agricultural principles have a long history in the Similkameen Valley. In 1986 the Similkameen-Okanagan Organic Producers Association began certifying farms. Since then, South Okanagan-Similkameen growers have been leaders in the advancement of organic principles and in recognition of the values of land conservancy.
