Find a Farmers Market
There are over 125 farmers’ markets throughout British Columbia. In 96 of these you will find vendors who make, bake, or grow your food. Markets vary in size and sophistication from large, sheltered, year round markets to a few farmers with trucks parked on a lot once a week during the summer months. Check them out!

Welcome to the 2010-2011 edition of the Farm Fresh Reference Guide – the 15th year of operation. Using this Guide and our website at www.bcfarmfresh.com you can find local producers of more than 100 different farm products and services who market what they produce either directly from their farms or at area farmers’ markets. Take a few minutes to familiarize yourself with the Guide and website. Reflect on how important it is to support your local farmers, the people who bring you fresh, wholesome, quality farm products for your families.
