Kitsilano Farmers Market (Seniors Reserved Time 10-10:30)

 Kitsilano Farmers’ Market

Kitsilano Farmers Market opens for the summer season as an essential food service this Sunday, May 3rd, 10am-2pm.

The market will be operating with full physical distancing and safety measures in place. Read more in our FAQs.

Seniors shop safe: We will be reserving a 30 minute window of time for seniors (65+), shoppers with mobility challenges, and others most vulnerable to COVID-19 at all six of our summer markets. The reserved time at Kitsilano runs from 10am-10:30am every Sunday.

SHOP, DON’T STOP!: Please use the market to stock up on fresh and prepared food items only. Whenever possible, we ask that shoppers send only one member of their household and keep interactions at the market to a minimum. This will help reduce potential exposure to COVID-19, and cut back on wait times for other shoppers.

Order ahead and save time: shop online with our new platform, VFM Online Orders! Browse a real-time product list from over 50 of our vendors, place orders directly with each vendor, and pre-pay for your shopping bag before you head to the market. Find out more at eatlocal.org/vfm-online-orders


Kitsilano Farmers Market runs every Sunday, 10am-2pm from May 3 – Oct 25, 2020 at 10th Ave. & Larch St.
