Sep 21 2021, 9:29 pm

Even though the hot days of summer are in the rearview, Metro Vancouver still has a ton of great markets you can shop at well into the fall and winter.

And if you want to pick up armfuls of fresh produce, locally sourced ingredients, unique gifts, and fresh-baked goods – then few places are better than your local market.

So bring your reusable bags and baskets because you’re going to want to stock up on all the fresh finds.

Shop for all your basics and extras here and grab lunch from some of the city’s best eats. Just watch out for the seagulls; they have a taste for Lee’s Donuts.
