Peninsula Country Market – Summer
Saanichton / W̱SÁNEĆ
W̱SÁNEĆ - W̱SÁNEĆ means "the emerging people" in SENĆOŦEN, a W̱SÁNEĆ language, referring to an ancient story of a great flood the land emerged from. W̱SÁNEĆ refers to the people as well as the land and is where the English derivation of "Saanich" comes from.
A relaxing farmers market among friends.
The Peninsula Country Market takes over the historic Saanich Fairgrounds every Saturday morning with the combined energy of dozens of local vendors, families, and friendly dogs of all shapes and sizes.
At the heart of this vibrant community market are the local families who enjoy a calm country morning on cool green grass, surrounded by the bustle of a farmers’ market as they sip a hot coffee and enjoy a sweet treat among friends. Every week more than 50 local food producers bring the Peninsula’s freshest fruit, vegetables, flowers, baked goods, coffee, seafood, arts, and crafts to this seasonal country market.
We respectfully acknowledge that the land we gather on is the Unceded Traditional Territory of the lək̓ʷəŋən peoples represented by the Songhees and Esquimalt Nations and the W̱SÁNEĆ peoples represented by the Tsartlip, Pauquachin, Tsawout, Tseycum and Malahat Nations.
This market participates in the BC Farmers' Market Nutrition Coupon Program.
