Jamaican patties, stylish candles, baked goods and more you can find at your local Farmers' Market this year.
If you‘re stuck for holiday shopping ideas, the local farmers market is a great place to browse: instead of big brands and questionable food court cuisine, you get handmade goods from local businesses and the best food trucks in town. Here‘s a list of 37 BIPOC vendors who are tabling at markets around the Lower Mainland this winter. For more information about when and where each market is, check out bcfarmersmarkettrail.com.
