Research indicates people thrive and are naturally happier when socially connected. Farmers markets support emotional health by creating a cheerful space where people come together for laughter, fellowship, food, and fun.
By shopping at a farmers market you are directly growing local industry, investing in local families, and supporting the knowledge and skills development of our community.

Fresh Tastes Best

Local fruit and vegetables are picked at their peak ripeness resulting in a sweeter, richer flavour. With minimal transport time compared to imported foods, local produce maintains it’s peak nutrient profile. Plus, our markets are a great way to discover new-to-you fruit and veggies and give you the chance to speak directly to your farmer!

The Cedar Farmers Market was established in 1996 by a handful of local farmers. 25 years later, the market now features close to 100 vendors per day and over 2000 customers during the busy summer season. We are a not-for-profit registered agricultural society operating in beautiful British Columbia.

The Cedar Farmers Market operates on the traditional and unceded territory of the Coast Salish people. We are eternally grateful to the Snuneymuxw First Nation for their generosity in hosting our market and in welcoming us when we were in need of a home. Hay ce:p œa’
