There are several Farmers Markets that take place at several different locations throughout the city. Most of them run during the warmer months from May to October. However, there is one winter farmers market at the Nat Bailey Stadium that is on from November to April, every Saturdays from 10am-2pm. This Saturday, I decided to check it out.
Farmers Markets are all about supporting our local BC farmers and helping sustaining our land and community. You'll find a variety of fresh and healthy foods. Organics. Gluten-free. All terms you'll find on their signs and at their stands. Apples dull in appearance (without the waxy coating) but bright in colours and plump in size. There were also some growingly popular street vendor trucks parked on the side.
Pizza made right in the oven behind him.
Scooping out that aromatic chili from the tank. Perfect for a cold winter day.

I brought my parents and we had a lot of fun going from stand to stand seeing what was available and watching other people buy and consume their goodies. We also picked up a couple bags of organic apples and carrots to bring home.
