BC Farmers do an incredible job and the least we can do is thank them for their fresh produce. This year BC farmers appreciation week will be celebrated from July 31st to August 6th and is a wonderful opportunity for us all to thank farmers across BC

Did you know that farmers make up only 1.5% of BC’s population? Yet, this small percentage of the population produces an estimated 48% of all foods consumed in B.C. Whether or not we are aware of it, British Columbians depend on BC farmers and BC farmland.

So come out and show your support by buying local produce.
