The Comox Valley Farmers’ Market Association is a not-for-profit society that has been bringing local food to local folks since 1992. Our farmers and producers offer fresh in season fruits and vegetables, wild harvested foods, small scale meat and seafood, eggs, artisan food products, ready to eat food and drink and craft beer, wine and spirits. When you shop at a Comox Valley Farmers Market (CVFM), you’re not just buying fresh, delicious, nutritionally dense food directly from local producers, you are also contributing direct and indirect dollars that benefits the local and regional economy and keeping local farmland in sustainable food production. The CVFM is a healthy family-oriented community gathering place where you can meet and catch up over a cup of hot coffee and a cinnamon bun while listening to the live local entertainment. There is something for everyone. Come for the freshness and stay for the fun!
