About
The Quesnel "Old Time" Farmers' Market began in 1988 with a handful of vendors and a warm reception from local shoppers. "Harvest" was established in 1989 as the organizing body for the market and became a non-profit society in 1994. Now, Harvest is directed by a dedicated group of volunteers who are committed to supporting and promoting local agriculture.
Today, the Quesnel Farmers' Market consistently hosts 25 to 40 vendors each week. The producer/baking/craft mix varies, but generally includes a minimum of 51% of vendors that are primary or value added food producers with the balance being local crafts.
The Market hosts hundreds of local and visiting customers each Saturday from early May until mid-October. Three well-attended pre-Christmas indoor markets are also held in November and December at the Quesnel Arts & Recreation Center.
Our number and variety of vendors and our loyal following of shoppers continues to grow steadily over the years.
