Armstrong

Armstrong anchors the rich dairy farmland of the North Okanagan's Spallumcheen Valley, a small city long known for its cheese making heritage and one of BC's oldest agricultural fairs.

The Interior Provincial Exhibition, running since 1899, still fills Armstrong every fall with agricultural displays, a demolition derby and a genuine small town fair atmosphere that draws visitors from across the North Okanagan.

Dairy farming built the town's original economy, and Armstrong Cheese remains a recognizable BC brand with roots in the valley, while the surrounding farmland continues to produce vegetables, hay and livestock across the flat Spallumcheen bottomland.

Highway 97A connects Armstrong to Vernon just south and Enderby and Salmon Arm to the north, and the town's heritage downtown and surrounding acreages offer a genuinely rural North Okanagan lifestyle at a price well below Kelowna or Vernon.
