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 2022, we moved to our NEW LOCATION!
Come visit us at Centennial Park - south side
(11th between Grand & Taulbut).
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
