has been bringing fresh local meat and
veggies, baked and processed foods,
and healthy body products to Valley
Residents for 25 years!
The Comox Valley Farmers' Market Association was born early in 1992 when a group of local growers saw the need for a gathering place for farmers to sell directly to the consumer.
From those early days the purpose of the market has always been:
- To promote the economic health of the local farm community,
- To provide quality locally grown farm products,
- To educate the community in agricultural issues, and
- To promote local agriculture.

We are open Saturdays year round (except for two weeks over Christmas)
Please respect our opening hours, we do not allow sales before 9:00 on Saturdays. This time is for vendors to do their own shopping and set up. Thank you :-)

No cash?
Don’t worry if you don’t have cash! We have a machine that will take your debit/credit and turn it into market tokens. They are just like cash on the field (only way funner) and never expire, and they make great gifts :-) Come find them at the Market Info table.
Market info:
Looking for a vendor? Want to donate to our New Farmer Bursary Fund? Need a bag? Need Market Tokens? Lost something? Have a suggestion? Please let us know. The market coordinator and our volunteers can help you; they are located at the market tent.
