Organizer
Quesnel Farmers Market/HARVEST
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 hosts an average of about 25-30 vendors each week, with some late spring markets peaking at 35 vendors. The producer/baking/craft mix varies, but generally includes a minimum of 10-15 agricultural producers, 4 - 6 bakers and food booths, with the balance being local crafts. It is generally agreed that several hundred customers visit each Saturday by mid-summer. The market operates outdoors from early May until early October; three pre-Christmas indoor markets are also held and are well attended at the Quesnel Recreation Center Paul Zeegers @ (250) 747-3864 [email protected]
