The upper level has an aquarium, but it was closed when we went, and the main floor had the vendors. It consisted mostly of food stands and a mini grocery store. One store that really stood out to me was Fisherman's Market. They had some really unique products such as ahi tuna pot pie. They offered both fresh and frozen products.

Located in a field at the local exhibition grounds, the farmers market had a great selection of fresh produce, baked goods, fish, meat, jams, jellies, cheese, and all the other usual suspects you would expect to find. While not as large as the Ladner Village market on the mainland, the Comox Valley market still has plenty of goods to offer and makes for a great place to spend a Saturday morning.

Another treasure I'd curiously passed by for many years before venturing in. North Arm Farm is a…read morelocal produce paradise with a wide range of all organically grown fruits and veggies. There's even a u-pick option! Kids can feed the sheep, chickens, pigs and ducks while parents peruse the organic local honeys, pies, jams and of course, fruit, vegetables and fresh cut flowers. Even if you just want a glimpse of the farm, you'll be sure to leave laden with at least a pie or two. They even serve farm lunches and can do corporate catering! Be sure to bring your camera and a pair of mud-friendly shoes.

There is some food, coffee, both freshly brewed & available to purchase, flowers, knitted goods and the market will have an estimated 60 vendors by mid-summer! Not as crowded yet as the Bellingham Farmers Market and parking is easier too. As Ferndale is an up & coming town it will only grow and become better! It is along the river & it is very clean with benches every so many yards & really pretty. I love having this here where I live. Check it out!

A nice small town market! Some of my favorite stands were…read moreMaples' Sugar Shack selling maple syrup of course! The mug stand Capture Gravity shows the many beautiful shapes and sizes of breasts on nicely handcrafted mugs. I also saw many dogs loving their specialty pupcakes and I was sad my pups weren't with me this time but I'm sure they would have just been begging for more. Sea to sky mushrooms & wild foods even had the prettiest mushroom display I have ever seen! Everything here was unique and this was a great market to walk through while visiting. Mountain Meal Prep gets an honorable mention for their unique dehydrated meal prep idea. It's a healthy and easy alternative, especially for those who love camping! You get tons of nutrients and all of the flavor compacted conveniently in a mason jar and you just add hot water! Woof & stuff was my personal favorite with Amanda's cute collar options. I bought a yellow cactus collar for my black border collie and he looks so dang cute! Memorial Weekend was a busy weekend here but it added to the fun and there was lots of stands to see. The food vendors in the back were definitely very busy with constant people lining up for good food.

We stayed at The Landmark Hotel and lucky enough to just walk over to Orcas Island Farmers Market…read more It was a cool and breezy July day. There were at least a dozen food stalls selling anything from home baked bread, cookies, donuts, Mexican food, and Asian. There were stalls selling arts and crafts which are unique to Orca's. We picked up some lunch and enjoyed as the local band sweet music on the stage. A few folks and their kids got off the ground and started dancing. What a scene, as if it's out of a movie scene. It was truly magical.

After a couple of wintertime visits to Orcas, I was really looking forward to a summer trip. That…read moreexcitement was enhanced, even more than I would confess, by the prospects of seeing what the farmers market looks like here. Orcas has a long and rich agricultural history and I've seen plenty of farms and roadside farm stands that stood vacant in Decemeber. I was stoked for summer. Cue COVID.... Well, I'm happy to report that the market was still happening. I'm glad they didn't throw in the towel on it, though from what I'm told it was vastly different this year. Oh, you can imagine that in previous years there wasn't a mandatory handwashing station at the entrance. And I imagine there weren't dots on the ground to indicate where you should wait in order to approach each booth one party at a time. But more importantly, I'm told that the market, even though it's small and mighty in its biggest years, was only very teeny this year. There were probably 7-8 booths there, and that made for a quick visit. Still, we bought some flowers at one booth, and a bar of locally made soap at another, so we did our best to support the vendors who are making an effort despite the restrictions. I have nothing but love for a farmers market, and nothing but admiration for the participants. Though we were only here for a little bit, I'm glad we made it.
