‘Absolutely astounding:’ Cedar Farmers Market named top large market in B.C.
NANAIMO — It’s known for its fresh produce, baked goods and other artisinal items, but now the Cedar Farmers Market has some fresh hardware.
The B.C. Association of Farmers Markets have awarded the weekly Cedar gathering the award for Most Outstanding Community Impact among markets with 80 or more vendors.
Market manager Kate Poirier told NanaimoNewsNOW the honour is very rewarding for the team which puts on the event every Sunday from Mother’s Day to Halloween.
“It’s absolutely astounding to be recognized at the provincial level as a very small, rural village market and we’re really proud of the things we’ve accomplished over the last couple of years.”
