As vendors began to pack up their wares for the final regular Metchosin FarmersB次元官网网址� Market last Sunday, Jacqui Anderson was keen to talk about another successful season on the Happy Valley Road municipal grounds.

B次元官网网址淚tB次元官网网址檚 been fantastic,B次元官网网址� said Anderson, who serves as market president. B次元官网网址淲eB次元官网网址檝e had a six-per-cent increase in our members from last year, we have different musicians every week B次元官网网址� itB次元官网网址檚 a true country market.B次元官网网址�

Anderson has been involved for seven years, first as a vendor and now as a board member. She said it draws customers from around the region and a broad base of sellers B次元官网网址� as many as 35 different vendors have set up shop on the municipal grounds over the course of the five-plus month season.

B次元官网网址淭he nice thing I like about it is youB次元官网网址檝e got the music there, youB次元官网网址檝e got people sitting with their coffee or lunch and enjoying the music, and shopping B次元官网网址� itB次元官网网址檚 a little bit of everything.B次元官网网址�

There are plans to change the look of the market for next season, Anderson said, but in the shorter term, the focus now turns to the Christmas market on Sunday, Dec. 4.

The regular $15 per table vendor fee becomes a minimum $5 donation for that event, the proceeds from which will go to the Goldstream Food Bank. Watch for details at the Metchosin FarmersB次元官网网址� Market Facebook page.
