May 8, 2017 | 1:49 PM

QUALICUM BEACH — Farmers market season has officially kicked off.

The Qualicum Beach Farmers Market celebrated their 20th anniversary and first summer market on Saturday, May 6.

Market manager Jeannie Shaver said the market has expanded drastically since it’s first year.

“Our mandate is that we’re a true farmer’s market,” she said. “We have to sustain a 70 per cent to 30 per cent farmer and food producer to crafter. That’s a regulation that is stipulated by the BC Association of Farmer’s Markets.”

The market runs from 8:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. every Saturday on Veteran’s Way
