The Fraser River sustains life for most communities in south west BC. With some of the worlds best farmland, this region’s farmers provide a steady stream of food: berries, peppers, artisan cheeses and dairies, fresh meats, eggs and more.

Ten farmers’ markets within 145 square miles—each is a vibrant neighbourhood gathering boasting a wonderful variety of locally grown food, homemade treats and art, and local musicians.

The southeastern corner of BC is renowned for its orchards, pasture and farmland—it’s a hub for fresh local food and farming.
