Locavore leanings?

The Kelowna Farmers’ Market will hook you up with uberfresh eatables that make you a contender for the 100 Mile Diet contest.

Okay. There’s no actual contest, but you still win.

Shopping at the Farmers’ Market scores you the tastiest food from the coolest folks in town. For 16 years, Kelowna has brought together shoppers and farmers in the largest outdoor market in British Columbia. That’s right—you get to meet your farmers and producers. With today’s corporate agriculture and big box stores, this is tantamount to a fairy tale come-to-life.

Meet Robyn King, whose apples are grown just around the corner at Bite Me Organics orchard. Meet Ryan Geni, whose Frozen Coconut “ice cream” means that vegans and lactophobes can indulge in dreamy frozen treats again. Meet James Mullan the Allergic Chef, whose gluten-free granola, muffins and cookies put the fun back into baking. Meet Guylaine Lacerte, whose Raw Food Path produces buckwheat bread and energy bars with mostly organic, local ingredients. Meet Curtis Stone, founder of Green City Acres, a cycle-powered local farm set-up that grows incredible organic veggies in downtown Kelowna backyards.

Local, organic produce— win for the environment.

Supporting small-scale local farmers—win for the community. 

Some of the most delicious food on earth—win for you.
