The website is broken down into regions to help users find the markets closest to them. Launched during the summer of 2018, the tool recently became available to market-lovers on Vancouver Island and the Gulf Islands. There are now 30 BCFMA members in the Island region.

To prepare for the regional launch, the BCFMA sent out a team of photographers to capture the culture of individual markets. Then, a narrative was created for each, so readers could get a sense of the types of products and overall vibe they can expect.

Currently, 145 markets across 10 B.C. regions are highlighted on the website. Five regions have been photographed and feature in-depth market back stories. The rest will be curated soon.

OB次元官网网址橦ara feels the Market Trail is useful for tourists as well as B.C. residents who may be looking to explore the far corners of the province. For example, there are three farmersB次元官网网址� markets on Haida Gwaii that many people are unaware of, she said.

The Market Trail initiative is a collaboration between the BCFMA, Destination B.C., Island Coastal Economic Trust, local tourism organizations and several other sponsors.
