The Comox Valley Farmers Market (CVFM) is a great place to buy some local products, meet friends, enjoy some great spring weather and even catch some music. We enjoyed taking in the CVFM through the fall and winter at the Native Sons’ Hall in Courtenay but now that it is outside it is even better. Our most recent visit was on Saturday, April, 18. The market is located at the Comox Valley Exhibition Grounds for the spring and summer and has room for close to 60 vendors. The CVFM has a long history starting back in 1992 and focuses on products made in the local area. You can buy everything from vegetables, wine, cheese, meats, soap, sea salt, baked items and a whole lot more.  The CVFM has been voted the best Farmer’s Market in the Province in 2014 by the BC Association of Farmers' Markets which says something about the quality and variety of items sold here. The CVFM is a perfect way to spend a Saturday morning from 9:00 am to noon.  See http://www.comoxvalleyfarmersmarket.com/  for more information.

The CVFM usually brings out a large crowd

You can get all sorts of locally grown products
