After purchasing some lovely looking organic zucchini's and onions, I wandered over to a gentleman who refers to himself as the 'Bean Boy', creator of several types of flavoured hummus. I practically live off of hummus, so this was exciting for me! I purchased a container of spicy black bean hummus and made my way to Bad Girl Chocolates, who, with her handmade confections and pretty packaging has created a truly unique product...oh and very yummy! There were fish-mongers (Fresh Off The Boat is the name of the company) as well as baked goods, fresh honey and quite a few different local organic produce vendors, selling many varieties of fab fruits and veggies as well as the seasonal gourds! I finished off my shopping with a trip to GoGo Java for a Rice Dream iced soy latte...the best I've had almost anywhere...! Support the locals!

It's a chill vibe and vendors are friendly and don't try to push you to purchase anything. Prices are higher than your local supermarket but I don't mind paying more for quality goods while supporting local. A lot of the booths offered samples and we tried: non-dairy dips, bacon bits, peach & melon, berry wines, pumpkin wine, raspberry gin. We were able to find everything we needed for our bbq including organic produce, meat seasoning, perogies, vegan crackers with dip, wine and beer.

Popular itali-mod restaurant Campagnolo puts out delicious treats made by their new pastry chef. Little Qualicum Cheeseworks offers samples of all their artisan cheeses - the feta is delicious!! You can buy your own herb, cucumbers and pepper plants, plus much more. Local food tastes better! Because it has less packaging, is seasonably fresh and in tune with mother nature. Growing organically helps to protect biodiversity by encouraging growth of lesser known varieties, which can often be more delicious if only for their rarity! ie. tomatoes - heirloom anyone!? They travel less distance in a guzzling truck, keeps our local economy alive, and encourages use of the province's land for farming. So it tastes better.

And yes, there's a plethora of other amazing local options: fruits, veggies, beautiful Little Qualicum Cheeseworks samples and goods, jams, breads, food carts, meats -- oh my! I love this particular farmers market more than any other in the city, not only because it's s'damn convenient, but it (out of all of 'em) feels the most urban. It's not trying to be a tra-la-la oasis in the city; rather, is straight-up located in the hub of a busy commuter zone in the middle of the workweek. Genius. There's something so very special about this one. It could be that I run into someone I know each time I go, but everything just tastes a little bit better when I buy it from here. Buying local just feels s'damn good.

It's packed full of fresh seafood, sausages, bread, berries of every kind, the ubiquitous heirloom tomatos, Chilliwack corn, tasty jams and jellies, even some cheese can be purchased at the Kerrisdale Farmers Market. And if you're in the mood to munch on something while browsing their wares, a coupla food carts are on site to help fight the hunger (The Juice Caboose and Didi's Greek are among the rotating cast).

Harvests happen in the early morning and are brought to clients within hours after being picked. It's a really special place - I love coming here to water their corn, kale, raspberries, quinoa, grape vines, apples... There are so many things to see in the garden - different beds are dedicated to certain areas - there are the Americas, Europe, Asian greens... A water garden (a pot with water-loving plants) is set up for birds, bees, and insects to drink from. If you live close by or have some free time, you can come and help dig around, harvest the crops and meet the people running this garden. They also host workshops for the community - local experts come to teach the workshops. It's interesting how few of the plants we eat are actually grown around Canada! Their blog has the volunteering opp's and workshops updated regularly. If you want to volunteer, contact Tricia. Volunteer orientations happen every month - after that, you can come and help according to your own schedule.
