by Claudia Chan | There’s a brand new farmers’ market in town happening in South Van and they’re scouting out farmers for the harvest season. During their six-week launch from September 15th to October 27th, 2012, the River District will be holding a market down by the waterfront on Saturdays from 10:00AM to 2:00PM. The market will take place next to the riverside, pier, restaurant and 7,000 lovely homes. It’s considered one of Vancouver’s new up in coming communities. The market features 21 vendors, as well as 4Cats Art Studio hosting children’s activities.

If you’re an artisan, a local farmer or know of one, this is an opportune moment to showcase the fruits of your labour and connect with and sell directly to the ever-growing River District community. To become a vendor or for more info, you can contact Wendy Hainstock, market manager at [email protected].
