Featured Market:

Lytton Two Rivers Farmers Market

The Two Rivers Farmers Market is a small, friendly oasis that features fruit and vegetables grown in hot, dry climates. Located in Nlaka’pamux territory at the confluence of the Fraser and Thompson Rivers, ‘Q’emcin (aka the Village of Lytton) has been an important trade site for more than 10,000 years. Two Rivers Farmers Market is respectful of that tradition and of its role as the only retail outlet of fresh, locally grown food in a 50 kilometer radius.
