Heirloom veggies grown in Cloverdale are just some of the fabulous local fare featured at Surrey’s Urban Farmers Market, now open for the season.
The market runs Wednesdays to October 3 from 1 to 6 p.m. in the courtyard of the North Surrey Recreation Centre.
The market features produce from more than 20 local farmers, including vegetables and free-run eggs from Rondriso Farms.
“When our customers tell us how good our produce is, I explain that it’s all about getting it from the farm to the market as quickly as possible,” says Ron Tamis, who owns and operates the family-run farm at 8390 172 Street.
“That’s where you taste the difference.”
For now, the farm is open Saturdays from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
The Surrey Urban Market also hosts local musicians, has a children’s crafts area, and visitors can peruse a used book exchange, drop off batteries and old cellphones for recycling and more.
The market also features food vendors, artisans and crafters.
