Vancouver Winter Farmers Market 2011

From Trout Lake to the West End, Main Street to Kerrisdale, weekend markets are hopping in the summer months around Vancouver. They have the best local produce and hand-crafted goodies from May to October. The offerings now continue as Your Local Farmers Market Society presents the Winter Farmers Market along with a Holiday Market next month.
