Join us for our 17th Annual Tomato Festival!

It’s Tomato Time!

Ok folks, let’s talk tomatoes.

Are tangy Green Zebras your thing, or do you prefer the candy-like sweetness of a Sungold? Do your tastes lean towards the intense flavour and slight saltiness of a Black Krim, or is the complex and tropical taste profile of a Juane Flamme more your cup of tea?

Whatever your preference, come sample 20+ tomatoes varieties at Trout Lake on Saturday, August 24 and Kitsilano on Sunday, August 25 as part of our 17th Annual Tomato Festival!

Each year at the festival, we celebrate the beauty, flavour, and sheer abundance of the love apples (a.k.a tomatoes) our farmers grow – more than 200 different heirloom and specialty varieties!

Come view a large selection of some of our favourites, or discover your new fave at our Tomato Tasting Station. Tomato sampling is by donation and proceeds go to support our Fresh to Families Project for low income community members.

Plus…Enter the draw to win one of two canning prize packs from Wells Can Company at both Trout Lake and Kitsilano:

Draw 1:

Draw 2:
