The BC Farmers’ Market Trail is the go-to guide for discovering 145+ authentic farmers’ markets across the province. From orchard-fresh fruit in the Okanagan to bannock in Osoyoos and wildflower honey on the Island, this trail connects food-loving travellers with the best of what BC grows, bakes, and brews.
But it’s more than just delicious. It’s a movement.
Why It’s a Must-Do:
- Authenticity guaranteed: Everything sold at BC farmers’ markets is grown, raised, or made in BC.
- Real community impact: BC markets inject over $232 million annually into local economies and support hundreds of small businesses.
- Pro-farmer mission: This year’s NEW Summer Challenge encourages people to travel, shop, and eat with intention, while supporting the people behind BC’s local food system.
