This August & September Gastown Farmers Market You may have heard that a farmers market has been approved for August and September in Gastown as part of the City's new "Summer Spaces" initiative. We are very excited to announce that we will be partnering with the Gastown Business Improvement Society to bring a farmers market to Gastown Sundays in August and September. The location will be the 200 Block of Carrall Street. More information to come soon - but mark your calendars!

The farm is located in Langley, and based on the biodynamic concept, but is currently not certified. The total size is 5 acres, with about 1 1/2 or 2 acres forested, about 1 1/2 acres of field, some well drained in the winter for over wintering crops. There is about an acre of pasture for chickens, divided into two paddocks, and a 350 sq. foot chicken house. There are two tractors and an excavator to help with the work. They need some repairs, but should be OK for this year.
