From July to August: Our Membership Drive Success, Thanks to You
This summer, Vancouver Farmers Markets turned 30 — and what a celebration it’s been! Our July Membership Drive was filled with local love, delicious food, and incredible support from our community. Thanks to the energy and enthusiasm, we even extended the drive through August… and wow, you all showed up!
We couldn’t have done it without a few very important people:
Our Partner Vendors
A heartfelt thank you to the eight amazing vendors who generously contributed $5 vouchers to celebrate our birthday month. Because of them, every new member got to take home a tasty gift:
Your delicious food, community spirit, and generosity made our markets feel even more festive this summer.
Our Shoppers & Members
To everyone who signed up, renewed, or encouraged a friend to join — thank you! Your memberships don’t just come with perks. They help keep local farms thriving, food businesses growing, and markets vibrant across the city. You’re helping build a resilient local food system that supports farmers and feeds Vancouver year-round.
Our Staff & Market Teams
From the folks at the Info Tents sharing the story of VFM, to the crew setting up and taking down markets each week — thank you for keeping the momentum going all summer long. Your passion and smiles made it easy for shoppers to say, “Yes, I want to be a member!”
Here’s to 30 Years — and Beyond!
This July and August felt like one big community birthday party, and we’re so grateful to everyone who joined the celebration. With your support, we’re excited to keep building the next chapter of VFM — full of local food, strong farms, and markets that bring us all together.
From all of us at VFM: thank you for making this milestone so memorable!
