Become a VFM Member

What Kind of Tomato Are You?

Some of us show up every week. Others come when we can. Some know every farmer by name, while others are still discovering their favourite vendors.

However you show up, you’re part of Vancouver Farmers Markets.

Membership is one way to support the markets you love, and help show that there is a community behind their future.

Why become a Member?

Membership makes markets happen!

Our markets happen because of the farmers, food producers, small businesses, volunteers, staff, and the thousands of people who choose to show up every week. Membership is one way to make that community visible.

As we work to Make Space for Markets, your membership helps to make that voice louder and ask stronger, for a future where farmers markets have a place on the ground, at the table and on the menu.

You could also visit any of our ongoing markets and purchase a membership at the Info Tent.
