unnamed

Vancouver’s Farmers Markets are getting set to kick off the summer season on May 5th in Yaletown. Check out the skinny from our friends at VFM, complete with a copy of their schedule:

We’re back with the finest quality fresh fruits and vegetables, meat and poultry, baked goods and artisanal foods, fresh fish, and craft beer, wine, and spirits you’ll find anywhere in the Lower Mainland. By shopping at Vancouver Farmers Markets, our shoppers aren’t just buying fresh, delicious food directly from local producers – they’re also making a better choice for the environment, supporting the local food system, and contributing more than $15 million in direct and indirect benefits to the local and regional economy.
