Farm Fresh
We all know the benefits of buying local food, but finding local goods can sometimes be a chore at the grocery store. The California produce is often front and center, demanding your attention with it’s chemically engineered, bug free, overly large exterior skin. Hide your eyes and your wallet. Go out of your way to hunt down products grown or manufactured in British Columbia.
A great place to start is farmer’s markets. Community stands are opening across Vancouver to offer summer produce at reasonable prices. The most recent addition to the already established weekend spots is the Kerrisdale Village Market, across the street from Point Grey Secondary. The Kerrisdale market is open every Saturday from 10 am – 2 pm until October 8.
Bring your own bags or Tupperware containers for produce. Most stands do not offer paper or plastic bags.
Also, feel free to ask questions about how the food is grown. Venders love to discuss their product and your interest may land you a reduction in price.
Words of market wisdom: Come early in the day for the freshest wares and late in the day for the best prices.
