The environment gets some relief from trucking food after growing by those that care to do some local initiative. The Nicola Valley Farmers Market, had a very successful year last year as they moved to the Arena parking lot on Voght and Merritt avenue, the proximity of shade trees and a more welcoming presence from a treed backdrop of the Baillie House Downtown Info Center made a comfortable and relaxed venue to present produce and artisan products for sale. The market operates Saturdays to early afternoon.
The season is coming to and end, with Thanksgiving on the horizon and it will be a good thing to see the industry of this assocation at it again.
