Your Fraser Valley farmers market guide

It’s not every day that you can wander through a park and pick up a container of eggs, some handmade soap, a bunch of fresh carrots, and a bouquet of freshly picked flowers. But then again, not every day is a farmers market.

Throughout the summer, markets will be springing up at parks throughout the Fraser Valley. Most will happen on weekend mornings, kicking off a few days of relaxation with a collection of local goods and fresh produce. Others will run on weekday nights, bringing some shop-local vibes to the middle of the work week.

We’ve collected farmers markets from each Fraser Valley community and figured out when they are happening, where you can find them, and—most importantly—how long you have to get there before the last market of the season.
