Fresh St. Market is one of those spots you end up visiting way more than you planned -- because it…read morejust makes everything easy. The convenience alone is hard to beat. It's within walking distance of pretty much everything -- restaurants, condos, and even the ski lifts. So whether you're grabbing a quick breakfast before heading out or picking up something for a relaxed night in, it's right there when you need it. What really stood out, though, was the quality. The pastries were fresh and legit -- perfect with a morning coffee (available here, also). The fruits were vibrant, ripe, and actually tasted like fruit (which isn't always a given these days). The ready-made meals were solid across the board and are great options when you don't feel like waiting at a restaurant or just want something quick after a long day on the mountain. There was even a small selection of souvenirs (magnets, key chains, etc.) Pricing was surprisingly reasonable for a resort-area market. Coming from Hawai'i, where grocery prices can get wild, it honestly felt like a bit of a deal -- like things were almost on sale. All in all, Fresh St. Market hits that sweet spot between convenience and quality. Definitely a go-to while staying in the area.

Whistler is home to my absolute favourite farmer's market!…read more For starters, their produce is always in season. Depending on the time of year, you may only see one or two produce vendors at the market, but on my most recent trip I noticed three; two fruit stands and one veggie mini market. One of the fruit stands was carrying fresh, local goji berries, which was a fun surprise. I'd never seen or tasted a fresh goji berry before and the fact that they were local was just an added bonus. The variety of food/artisanal goods is phenomenal. Whenever I come, I always binge on, well, basically everything. This time, I got a snow cone from Frost Bites, a horchata from Aguas Frescas, and a plateful of paella from Entucasa. When was the last time you had a snow cone? If your answer is "too long ago" then you will not be disappointed if/when you buy one from Frost Bites. They use their own syrups to flavour them, leading to some unique--yet downright delicious--flavour combinations. I got lychee yuzu and peach with lemon verbena. I seriously recommend that you try Aguas Frescas; they've recently expanded to selling their products at markets outside of Whistler, and for good reason; people--myself especially--can't get enough of them! I love all their flavours, I love that all the ingredients they use are simple (no preservatives here!), and I love how friendly they are. The paella from Entucasa was good; there was a nice portion size on the plate but after paying $15, I wanted more than just one spot prawn. Also, I missed the chorizo, which was not included in this dish. Whether you've never been to a farmer's market before or love them like I do, the Whistler Farmer's Market is a nice place to start.

a busy saturday at the whistler farmers' market, and such a nice way to spend part of the weekend…read more there was a great energy to the place, with people wandering from booth to booth, stopping for food, chatting with vendors and browsing everything from fresh produce and prepared foods to handmade goods and little finds you definitely weren't planning on buying. what surprised me most was the diversity of the vendors and products. alongside the expected farmers' market staples were korean and japanese offerings, ghee, prepared foods, specialty treats, handmade products and plenty of things that made you want to stop and take a closer look. it felt like a little snapshot of whistler's local community, with influences and flavours from all over mixed in with products grown, made and produced in the region. the whistler farmers' market has actually been around since 1994, when it started with just one farm and a couple of crafters. today, more than 130 vendors rotate through the market over the season, with around 70 vendors typically participating at any one market. the lineup can include local farms, food producers, hot food vendors, artists, designers and makers. one thing i really like about the market is that it isn't simply a collection of vendors bringing in wholesale products to resell. the market follows the bc association of farmers' markets' 100% made, baked, grown, raised or foraged philosophy, meaning the products are supposed to come directly from the people producing them. that gives the market a much more genuine farmers' market feel and makes wandering through the booths part of the experience. and, of course, there were things that somehow managed to make their way home with me. picked up some lavender mosquito repellent, which seemed like a very appropriate whistler purchase considering how much time gets spent outdoors here. definitely one of those market finds that wasn't necessarily on the shopping list but made perfect sense once i saw it. the market is set along the pedestrian only upper village stroll at the base of blackcomb mountain, so there is plenty of surrounding scenery, shops and places to stop before or after browsing. it makes it especially easy to turn a market visit into a leisurely weekend outing rather than just popping in to grab groceries. another nice touch is the market's focus on sustainability. since 2013, aware whistler's zero waste heroes have helped visitors sort compost, recycling and garbage at the market, making the experience a little more thoughtful than your average outdoor event. busy, colourful, full of interesting smells and plenty to discover, the whistler farmers' market is a fun weekend stop even if you're not specifically looking for anything. come hungry, bring a reusable bag and give yourself time to wander. sometimes the best finds are the ones you didn't know you were looking for.

The quality produce, meat, and great selection of pantry items were top-notch. We cooked from home most of our trip and they had every I needed and provided inspiration for delicious, simple meals - we enjoyed their ground beef and Italian sausage for a yummy pasta dinner, fresh poke with their ahi (thanks to one of the butchers for the idea), and well as awesome burgers. I also loved their Nanaimo bars, and normally I don't purchase store-bought baked goods. Prices seemed fair/on par, especially traveling from the US, where things are quite inflated at the moment.

If you are looking to pick up items like toothpaste or bodywash, those are not in high demand in Whistler and yes they do have stocks. It is a convenient location. I only find them ok.

The chicken parm was seved over linguine drowning in a bland house tomato sauce. Chicken was bland but covered in cheese so that helped. Sadly the Alfredo was worse. A flour milk sauce with absolutely no flavor - even salt and pepper couldn't help it. Strike 3. And the price was $30-$32. For this kind of money, I expect much higher quality. The one bright spot was pur server Brad who tried his best despite the poor quality food. Plenty of other places in town that are 1000 times better quality for equal or less dollars.
