Jennay Oliver is owner/operator of Paynter香蕉视频直播檚 Fruit Market. She studied Aircraft Maintenance Engineering at BCIT (improving her machinery fixing ability), but most of her knowledge was obtained from information passed down through generations of local farming.

She is proud to keep the family farm operating and mark their 100th anniversary.

Jennay spends time each year on continuing education for herself and staff, focusing on leadership, marketing and HR/workplace safety courses. All of the items sold in the store are made from local producers, makers or bakers. Most staff live in the Central Okanagan, and they have high seasonal staff retention.
