While Farmers’ Markets have been deemed an essential service, they will be very limited both in vendors and access. At least for a while longer.
In light of this predicament for farmers and producers, the BC Association of Farmers’ Markets is helping markets across the province go online this year! Thanks to the generous support of the Ministry of Agriculture Buy BC program and Vancity, the BC Association of Farmers’ Markets will cover the fees for the 2020 season.
The Lillooet Market will be online on the Local Line platform.
Here, you will be able to order from lots of your favourite farmers, and have your food delivered to a pick up location that is convenient for you!
Here is the link to our online market:

With the support of Area B Director Vivian Birch-Jones, the Lillooet Agriculture and Food Society applied to the SLRD for funding to support having a staff person for pick-up and delivery.
Starting May 22nd, Seed to Culture will be open on Fridays from 1pm – 6pm for Local Line order deliveries and pickup.
(Don’t forget that you are welcome to order from our online store starting today! You can specify pick-up or delivery details with each vendor.)
The Farmers’ Market board of directors will be re-assessing having a physical market at the end of the month, so keep an eye out for more info about our physical market.
