Surrey Urban Farmers Market

Located in the parking lot of Royal Kwantlen Park, the Surrey Urban Farmers Market is a community-driven, non-profit initiative designed to celebrate and promote local agriculture and craftsmanship. The market operates every Saturday from 10 am to 3 pm, running seasonally from June 3 to October 7. Visitors can enjoy not only the diverse offerings of local farmers, food producers, artisans, and entertainers but also the park’s extensive amenities, which include a large playground, picnic areas, a skate park, a swimming pool, public restrooms, and sports fields.

The Surrey Urban Farmers Market is known for its vibrant, multicultural atmosphere, live entertainment, educational workshops, and kids’ activities. It provides a unique shopping experience, allowing consumers to directly interact with vendors. This interaction fosters a sense of trust and community while celebrating local businesses and the diversity of Surrey’s community.

Committed to community growth and food security, the market is a member of the British Columbia Association of Farmers Markets, supports the Food Nutrition Coupon Program, and is affiliated with the Seed of Change Surrey group. Run by dedicated volunteers who are passionate about local food initiatives, the market invites residents to join the effort by becoming board members, volunteers, vendors, or ‘friends of the market’ members.

The market principles include supporting trustworthy local businesses with quality products, engaging social experiences, celebrating community diversity, and promoting education and awareness. As a transparent organization, the Surrey Urban Farmers Market invites interested individuals to explore its guidelines, by-laws, and constitution provided on their website, where one can also find information about board members and staff, or learn how to participate as a vendor, entertainer, or volunteer starting January 2024.
