When is the Outdoor Market Opening?

By

 We're excited to announce our outdoor opening weekend as 

May 4 & 5, 2024.

Here's a quick reminder of our operating hours


If you've not been to our market before, we're always excited to welcome new shoppers or new community members, stop by the INFO booth and say hello.  

If you don't like crowds, come during the 2nd hour which is always a bit quieter than the first hour.  

We do ask that you leave your pets at home but there are several shady areas to park if they insist on coming with you.

If you'd like to be a vendor with us this year, please see our vendor registration page.  Set aside about 15 minutes to review all the information.  It's always an exciting place to be in the spring and summer as we watch our community assemble and build stronger relationships. 

No car?  No problem.  A city bus can get you as far as the airport and if you're up for a little walk that may be a great option.  The Zunga Bus is also available.  Reserve your ride and get off at the "Market" stop on Myrtle Rd, you will come in the back entrance but it's level and not far to walk.  Handy Dart can also take you to the back entrance on Saturdays at 4356 Myrtle Rd. (Therapeutic Riding Parking Lot).

The Farmers' Market Nutrition Coupon Program will be starting up again this year in June.  This program focuses on providing up to $27/wk to new or pregnant moms, low income families or seniors in need.  Please contact the appropriate community partner in order to register for the program. Our community partners include BOND (Babies Open New Doors), Family Place, The Tla'amin Pre/Post Natal Program, and Gerry Gray Place for Seniors.

Get to know your local farmers and where your food comes from.  It's some of the freshest in town from the friendliest, hard working community members.  

Welcome to another wonderful season at the market and thank you for your continued support.

Half year habit

New Year's resolutions seem to be a focus for many people when the year rolls around.  Have you ever heard that the best day to get started with something is "today"?  Well it is.  We're half way through this year and any day can be the start of something new, something exciting, something unexpected. We've got an easy new habit for you.  Consider the Farmers' Market as a weekend destination this year.  Not only for buying fresh local food but also to see fresh local faces.  Our community is ever-changing and it's exciting to see and meet the faces you already know and the new faces that are joining us.  Many times new residents show up at the farmers' market just days after they've moved here.    This new habit may mean that you come to shop, it may be that you just come with a friend for a fresh cup of coffee or a smoothie that you can enjoy in the sun or shade in a relaxing environment.  Do you like to be in the center of the bustle?  Choose a p
