Trout Lake Farmers’ Market has been running every Saturday since 1995, the oldest of Vancouver’s farmers’ markets and the heart of the organic movement in BC. It winds through the trees of Trout Lake Park, surrounded by sports fields, a dog park, and a community center, with no car noise anywhere. The crowd is genuinely everyone: punk rock, tie-dye, Birkenstocks, hand-me-downs, white collar, super elite, young, old, newcomer, old-timer. 

Know before you go: 

• Saturdays, 9am to 2pm. Come early for the best haul or after 1pm for a wander. 

• Parking is famously impossible. Bike, walk, or take transit. Commercial-Broadway SkyTrain is walkable. 

• Bring a grocery trolley or a wagon. 

• If it’s raining wear your rain jacket, skip the umbrella. 

• The Trout Lake Community Centre is five minutes away with bathrooms, water, and air conditioning. The market has three portable toilets onsite.
