Sponsored by Key West Ford, this season starts with a bang – a free, family-friendly Block Party featuring a city-wide Easter Egg Hunt in collaboration with the City of New Westminster. Stop by the first market of the season and leave not only with all your locally-produced groceries, but with an assortment of free goodies, including cookies for the first 100 visitors, a piñata, a photobooth, free children’s crafts by New West Family Place, face painting and balloon animals from 4-6pm. Featuring live entertainment all market long by Sue Breton and an opening ceremony to welcome back the community!

Not interested in balloon animals? We got you covered too! There will be a silent auction sourced from vendors and local businesses within New West. The market will also be hosting deals on their annual market membership program – giving you exclusive access to deals throughout the year!

Come by for some fun and get all your shopping done! Meet the New West Farmers Market’s 2024 vendors for their first date of the season. There will be lots of your favourite businesses plus many new products, farms and faces. Bring your reusable shopping bags, your appetite, and the whole family! 

The New West Farmers Market focuses on environmentally sustainable food by bringing locally grown and produced food to the community, thereby contributing to local economic development, healthy eating, and food security. We strive to make our market diverse in our offerings so there is truly something for everyone, as well as being an inclusive, welcoming environment for the community to gather.

We’re looking for new members to join our Board of Directors!

If you’re passionate about food security, local businesses and economic development, and healthy eating, this could be the role for you!

This volunteer opportunity is a 6-8 hour per month commitment, with directors expected to attend monthly meetings. While non-profit and board experience is not necessary, priority will go to candidates with experience in fundraising and Indigenous world views.

If you’re interested in applying to be a member of our board, please send your resume and cover letter to secretary@newwestfarmers.ca as soon as possible. Applications will be reviewed on a rolling basis until February 29th. You can read the complete role description here.
