JUNE 25, 2025

Anyone in our community looking to buy cherries from the Zdralek’s Orchard are encouraged to call Preet their orchard manager.

Much of the cherries (Lapins) along the road are ready for picking.

Unfortunately, all of the crop on the lake side of the orchard have been devoured by birds.
Next year the crop will be large enough to bet the plants, and thus save most of the crop.
Preet can be reached at 250 498 7910
If you give him a call, he might offer “pick your own cherries “!
Preet has other orchards in Kelowna and depending on the quantity, he could deliver to Casa Loma.


How lucky are we!

Information that the Zdralek’s would like to share with our community & neighbouring properties:

Did you know…Alice, who just recently passed—she made it to 107! Fun fact: she’s actually the woman the street is named after.

Regarding the Cherry Orchard & a letter to all of us:

Dear Casa Loma Residents, we hope this message finds you well.

As stewards of the land and part of our local community, we wanted to keep you informed about upcoming activities in our cherry orchard. We had to do something with the land, it was either develop it or farm it. We choose cherries because it would be the most neighborhood-friendly option. Other crops would’ve required more bothersome methods or wildlife control.

To protect our cherries and ensure a successful harvest, we will be adopting a variety of techniques to control bird activity.

Before we made our decision to grow cherries, we carefully weighed the option of planting a vineyard instead. Vineyard grapes, however, require bird control measures for a prolonged period—from August, when the grapes start turning color, until October’s harvest. This would mean three months of bird deterrence.

By choosing cherries, we reduced the duration significantly. Cherries begin ripening at the end of June and are harvested by mid-July, requiring only three weeks of bird control measures. We believe this approach strikes a balance between agricultural needs and community impact.

We have farmed the Casa Loma area for about ninety five years, and new generations would like to continue doing so well into the future.

Thank you for your understanding and continued support as we maintain Casaloma Orchards as a thriving part of Kelowna, BC.

Warm regards,

The Casaloma Orchards Team

The Zdralek’s have also expressed once harvest is ready (possibly not this year, depending on amount) that they would be open to selling their cherries to our community!
