We’ve made a lot of changes this season to ensure that our shoppers, vendors, staff and volunteers are kept safe during COVID-19 while also making sure that fresh, local food continued to be available to our community. To this end we have extended our “Summer Season” to run until November 12th, 2020. It will continue every Thursday in Tipperary Park from 3-7pm (with 3:00-3:30 continuing as priority entrance for those with small children, the disabled, the immunocompromised and seniors). 

Normally we would have a Winter Market on Belmont Street that would begin in November but due to several factors, including finances and safety concerns, we have cancelled our Winter Market on Belmont Street this year. We will reopen in Tipperary Park a month earlier next year, in April, to help bridge the gap.

Thank you for your support and shopping local!

The New West Farmers Market is proud to be able to continue to provide the community with fresh, local food during a scary time for us all. We have worked extremely hard with the City of New West, Fraser Health, the BC Association of Farmers Markets, and the BCCDC to ensure that our market can continue to serve our vendors, you and your families during the COVID-19 pandemic. Thank you for your continued support, we couldn’t do this without you!

During this time we have made a lot of changes regarding how we operate to ensure we are able to continue to be here every week for New West. These changes have severely impacted our operating budget. We are working hard to find alternative sources of funding as our income has taken a detrimental hit and our expenses have skyrocketed to ensure we are able to safely run the farmers market. However, at the end of the day, we are not able to financially recover from this on our own and we need your help.

Please consider donating to the New West Farmers Market so that we are able to continue to support small local businesses, low income families and seniors through the Nutrition Coupon Program and bring our amazing market to our community every Thursday from 3-7pm. Every dollar you donate helps keep the market afloat. We couldn’t do this without you. You can donate online here or in person on Thursdays. Thank you!
