What’s at the Market
Cedar Isle Farm
Cedar Isle Farm is Vancouver Farmers Market’s only certified organic grain vendors, bringing oats, wheat and rye to Hastings Park since November and Nat Bailey in January and February. If you haven’t tried them yet, hurry down to Hastings Park this weekend because it’s their last market date of the season! If you fall in love with their grains, sign up their CSA on Sunday – more info here.
Original Mexican Gourmet
In addition to their deliciously rich cajetas (Mexican style chocolates made with goats milk,) OMG Original Mexican Gourmet is excited to introduce 3 new products to the winter markets: Cajeta Meringues, Flan and Jalapeños in Escabeche. These gluten and dairy free treats are handcrafted in Vancouver using natural ingredients – give them a try this Sunday at Hastings Park and tell Rossana what you think!
