The GOODS from Campagnolo

Vancouver, BC | It has been two weeks since the farmers and purveyors of The Main Street Station Farmers Market set up their stalls for a new season. Wednesday, June 4 marked opening day for the mid-week farmers market located at Thornton Park. The Main Street Station Farmers Market runs from 3pm until 7pm every Wednesday until October 1, and is located just steps away from Campagnolo Restaurant.

Each year, Campagnolo celebrates the return of the market with unique features, events and promotions—this year is no exception. The chefs of Campagnolo will be at the market every week picking the freshest daily ingredients to create Market Wednesday features, available for dinner service at Campagnolo Restaurant starting at 5pm.

In addition to the restaurant’s weekly Market Wednesday features, the Campagnolo market stall is open every Wednesday offering shoppers house-made dried pasta from Campagnolo and pizza spice from Campagnolo ROMA. All proceeds from the pasta and pizza spice sales directly benefit Thunderbird Elementary School’s food program. There is no set price for these products, allowing market shoppers to make a donation in exchange for a bag of pasta or packet of pizza spice.

Campagnolo is also celebrating peak season at the market with a Midsummer Night Dinner, and honouring the market’s final day with Cerelia, an Italian feast commemorating the harvest. Get all the details after the jump…
