Farmers' markets are quintessentially grassroots – they started from the ground up with people coming together to form a collective based on common interest, passion, and a desire to enjoy locally sourced food.

Farmers' market vendors can join the BCAFM as non-voting members and receive benefits for an annual membership fee of $100.
This program is designed to help vendors grow their businesses, which in turn helps to strengthen farmers' markets in BC. By becoming BCAFM Vendor Associate Members, vendors are also supporting the Association's ongoing work to raise awareness and strengthen the capacity of farmers' markets in all regions of British Columbia.
