We have found a new location! 1310 3rd Avenue. We are very excited about this new location and we have also opened an expansion site across the street in The Hubspace building located at 1299 3rd Ave.!
The Grand Opening event for the 2019 Outdoor Market Season is happening on May 4th so if you are interested in registering as a vendor please submit the online application on our 'Vendor' page or email the Market Manger at manager.farmersmarketpg@gmail.com.
Get "COOKING WITH THE MARKET"! The Farmers' Market cookbook is now available. Please check with any vendor at the Market!
216 pages in full colour choke full with mouthwatering recipes from vendors, the book is a FUNDRAISING project with proceeds going to the Prince George Farmers' Market Association to promote the Market, attract new vendors, and do urgently necessary roof repairs. Book launch will be Sunday, July 16 during downtown Summerfest and will be available at Books & Company, Canadian Tire, the Northern Lights Estate Winery and of course at the Farmers' Market.
The book was produced by members of the Prince George Farmers' Market with the assistance of Chef Wayne Kitchen of Crossroads Brewing, Chef Brian Quarmby of Betulla Burning, and the Northern Lights Estate Winery. We'd also like to thank the Prince George Citizen for their support in promoting the book! A special thank you goes to our sponsors for their generous financial contribution - without them, the book would not have been printed: Northern Development Investment Trust (NDIT), Datoff Bros. Construction, and Concept Design.

HISTORY
The Prince George Farmers’ Market was started in 1994 with a few vendors and has grown to a substantial Prince George institution with around 100 members offering everything from local vegetables, meats, bakings, fruits, hot foods, coffee, honey and jams and jellies, preserves, and a wide variety of artisan products including jewellery.
With the opening of the Market’s indoor location in 2010, the Prince George Farmers’ Market became the first Farmers’ Market in the Province of British Columbia boasting a year-round market. A Saturday at the Market may see well over 2000 visitors - we hope you’ll be one of them!
