Getting to The Apple Bin
Located just 1 minute from downtown Okanagan Falls or about 20 minutes from Penticton.
If you are coming from Penticton, you can drive along Highway 97 into Okanagan Falls and continue on Main Street. You will then take 7th Avenue to Eastside Road.
We generally drive along Eastside road because it’s a scenic route and sometimes we are lucky to see deer or California Bighorn Sheep on the side of the road.
About and Hours
The Apple Bin is a small metal shipping container beside the mailbox pull-out along Eastside road. They sell fruit and vegetables from their farm and other local farmers.
They are open 24 hours a day, which makes it a popular fruit stand in Okanagan Falls amongst locals.

The process is very simple which is nice because you are in and out very quickly.
