Trout Lake Farmers Market

The Trout Lake Farmers Market, a beloved community event in Vancouver, operates every Saturday from 9 am to 2 pm, spanning from April 1 to October 28, 2023. Located at Lakewood Dr. & E 13th Ave, this vibrant market brings together over 60 farms and producers each week. Visitors can indulge in an array of fresh, local food, enjoy the convenience of food and coffee trucks, and experience the market’s unique atmosphere.

During the market season, attendees can expect to see an excellent selection of seasonal produce, artisan goods, and participate in the various programs offered by the market such as Dream Cuisines, Community Tables, and the Fresh to Families initiative. The market is not only about shopping; it’s about community engagement with activities like live music from buskers and spaces for community organizations to share their information.

Transportation options include nearby bus routes and skytrain stations for easy access. While there is no designated market parking, bike racks, grocery pick-up zones, and chef parking are provided to encourage sustainable transit options. Additionally, there are dedicated accessible parking spaces at the east end of the market.

The Trout Lake Farmers Market is an initiative by Vancouver Farmers Markets, an organization that has been bringing local food and local people together since 1995. It’s a seasonal celebration of community values and sustainable living, reputed for its commitment to providing a space for local farmers and producers to connect directly with consumers.
