Welcome to the White Rock Farmers' Market Blog. From the somewhat unique postion of being a vendor, a director and a customer, I hope to give you a mostly unbiased view of the WRFM! I hope to introduce you to vendors, customers, and even some of the dogs that visit the market. If you would like to be the 'customer of the week', well just stop by and introduce yourself at the Wyndson Farm booth. I'll take your picture and ask you a few questions about the market, and then you can see yourself here.

There will be information about new things at the market, and any other trivia that I can come up with. Suggestions and pictures are always welcome, and comments too.

Just another day to go!

We're looking forward to seeing all the old and new customers and vendors on Sunday!

One of the oldest vendors just happens to be us.  Well oldest as in having attended the market the longest, not in age I don't think:)  Larry and I (Karen) of Wyndson Farm having been vendors at the market from the year it started in 2001, and have missed only a handful of market days since then.

We live on a 10 acre hobby farm with some animals, and grow produce that we sell at the markets.  I also make jams and jellies, some fabric items and bring some 'country bouquets' and free range eggs to the market.  You can read about us and our animals and what we do, in fact more than you probably want to know, at the link above or in the sidebar on the right.

I can also introduce you to some 'Market Dogs'  Meet Calli, Jake and Luna, who come to the market with us each week.

Calli is a 10 year old lab mix that we have had since she was 9 weeks old
Jake is the red and white border collie.  He is almost 6, and we adopted him when he was 8 months old.
Luna(tic) is the black and white border collie who is 2 1/2, and we adopted her when she was a year old.

Our dog's favourite thing about the market is probably the walk they get at Campbell Valley Park on the way to White Rock on Sunday morning.  Next would probably be being set up next to Zodies Barkery (we were last year, not sure about this year yet), and the dog treats that seemed to come their way.

On Sunday mornings they know what is going on, and can't wait to get in the truck and get going. (Calli and Jake ride in the back seat area)


See you at the market!
