Location History
Since 1996, our location has changed but our commitment to offer a wide range of local products has remained the same.
In September 2002, we moved to our NEW LOCATION!
Come visit us at south side of Centennial Park
Thanks to City of Mission Councillors, staff, neighbours, and everyone else who made this move possible
Previous locations: Welton Common (2019-22), Mission Leisure Centre (2017-19), Mission Library 2007-16), Pal's Cafe (2004-06), Pharmasave (2000-03), and West Coast Express parking lo (1996-99)
Our Mandate: Make, Bake, Grow
Every year our volunteer Board supports vendors and the Market Manager to ensure that our markets offer local produce and goods for consumers. In cooperation, we:
- Organize and operate a community-based farmers’ market in Mission City
- Enhance the health and economic well-being of residents in Mission and the surrounding area
- Provide regular access to high-quality, locally produced food, horticulture products and arts and crafts for consumers
- Provide a reliable outlet for vendors’ products and direct personal contact with their customers
