penticton farmer's market

What a great way to spend Saturday morning before heading to the beach or to the wineries. Local food sold direct by the farmers that grow and produce. Lots of organic produce. There's even music and entertainment. Dancers and local singers and musicians pop up through the market. Closes at 1 PM so get there in the morning as many vendors do sell out. I.e. the eggs are sold out by 10:00. This market is such a success even the local wineries are trying to get stalls. It can be very busy so unless you are there when it first opens leave the pets at home unless they can handle crowds and very close quarters. I have seen more than one dog scrap when it's busy. Try a breakfast wrap at Gregoires stall. Organic or vegan and fantastic.There is also a stall that sells whole grain and rice dumplings wrapped and steamed in a banana leaf. Very filling and wholesome so you won't feel too guilty when you get into the delicious breads and pastries that are available. FYI - there are really two markets. The original Farmers Market is on the lower block. The upper market has more trinkets and doesn't seem to have the quality or volume of local fruit, produce and foods.

I love Farmer's Markets and this one is great. With a good selection and variety, there should be something for everyone. Try the deep fried spiral potato on a stick, it's delicious!

It is 3-4 blocks long and offers amazing samples of WINE-- a whole block! some breads, meats and veggies & fruits. I had only wished they were selling local cheeses too. Had a blast at the Farmer's Market in Penticton

Really enjoyed the market this past sat. I like the way the venue is separated by farm/craft/foods and the newly added wine section. Well done Penticton, I spent some $$$ at your lovely market.

many great vendors great produces and artisans. You can find everything you need.We found a booth with rare spices and blends from alep pepper to zathar and everything in between, worth to check out when you are visiting the market

Best market ever, with 4 blocks of booths and various vendors. Something for everyone! 2 blocks are farmer market ! With aMazing fruit and veggies. Great food trucks! Then a couple of blocks of retail vendors including wine and spirit vendors with free tastings! A wonderful way to enjoy a Saturday morning in Penticton!

Even if you have little intentions to purchase something at the Penticton Farmer's Market, at the end I always leave with a bag or two with locally grown produce. Organic or not it's mostly fresh and grown by local farmers. Why should I buy at the superstore, when I can buy here with local musicians and dancers and often having a coffee in one of the Main Street's coffee shop and observe the river of people flowing by. Worth while checking it out.

Ok, I can't remember the place where I purchased the blueberry pie but OMG, I enjoyed every bite. I am a pie maker and the crust was excellent. A big thing with pies! There were frozen drinks, food trucks and vendors, crafters and craft supplies and wineries! Fun for both the adults and kids.

This market is HUGE! Everything you can think of is on display and being sold. Lovely fresh vegetables, fruits and baking - crafts and now wine tasting too. So glad we were there to enjoy this.

We when to this market yesterday. It is the biggest that we've been to in the area. The music was better than any other we've been to, but some of the vendors are not "local". I saw Costco, Honda and many vendors selling goods made in China. As far as I'm concerned only locally produced, or at least "Canadian" products should be available.

I am amazed at how much, of almost anything you can find at this market! From organic fruits and vegetables, or canned jams and salsa while listening to very talented musicians, to food from almost any country you can imagine. To clothing, or wood work, crafts and jewelry... You will be surprised! Make sure you have a few hours, as you cannot see it all quickly! I tell all our visitors that they need to check out Penticton on Saturday morning!

We were pleasantly surprised to see this market when we walked out of our hotel Saturday morning. The Penticton Farmer's Market is set up every Saturday along Main Street and it's a real treat.Hundreds of vendors with everything you could want - fresh fruit, vegetables, crafts, carvings, clothing and more.Ensure you give yourself 1-2 hours to browse and enjoy the atmosphere.We will stop by again next time we're in Penticton!

we don't even come close to getting the same quality in alberta, so it's always a treat to come and stock up of fresh, local and organic produce to take home. all the sellers are friendly and helpful.

Saturday mornings in Penticton must include a stop at the farmers market on Main Street. Wonderful home grown/cooked/made/crafted items worth getting up early for.

The Okanagan is a major producer of fruits and vegetables in BC. Plus it has a strong organic community. Combine that with the natural beauty, warm weather, local artisans, yummy food wagons, musicians and you have the perfect recipe. A wonderful way to spend a Saturday morning. For you serious food shoppers you must get there for 8:30 as the top notch or rare treats go fast. The food market is concentrated at the north end between Lakeshore road and Westminster/Front Street. There is something there for everyone!
