Our "Chef at the Market" demo this weekend, Saturday, June.22/2019, will be by Stefan Vagelatos. He is the head Chef of Locavore Bar & Grill, and Food Truck. Stefan starting out cooking to support his snow sport addiction. He worked at the Rim Rock Cafe for 8 years, than traveled to Japan and Australia. He ran a fishing lodge kitchen out in the Braughton for a season and took over as the Chef at the Brew Creek Centre in Whistler, where he spent 8 years there developing their farm to table program. He has been with Locavore for a year now. This is an excellent opportunity to watch and learn from a great chef who has plenty of experience cooking with local, and fresh grown foods. Come see how creative he can get with the freshest food Squamish has to offer at this weekends Farmers' Market, downtown Squamish, on Cleveland ave, beside the copper coil. #squamishfarmersmarket#squamishevents#locavorebarandgrill#locavorefoodtruck#supportlocal#eatlocal#bcassociationoffarmersmarkets#chefatthemarket#cooking#creative#food

Our Zero Waste Station at the Market has to follow the recycling procedure set up by " Recycle B.C" which is one of the best on the continent. There is a short video at the bottom of the article about how Recycle B.C. operates posted in the comments section. About 6% of recycled material still ends up in our landfill because of "contamination." AKA dirty recyclable products. We now have a wash station set up at the Zero Waste Station to clean your "non compostable" products off. Make sure when using our bins at the Squamish Farmers' Market to read the signs on our bins AND the labels on your products. There is still quite a bit of "compostable" plastics ending up in the regular plastics bin which is a big NO NO because you can't recycle compostable plastics. The best way to manage your waste is to take the time to educate yourself. Recycle B.C's website as well as the District of Squamish's website have search engines where you look up where your products are supposed to go if you are unsure. There are also phone apps for both Recycle B.C. and the district of Squamish. #Squamish#recyclebc#squamishfarmersmarket#bcassociationoffarmersmarkets#recycling#zerowaste#rinsestation#lovethisplacereduceyourwaste#britishcolumbia#bringyourowndishes#educateyourself
It's a beautiful market day! Chalk full of vendors offering farm-fresh fruits and veggies, hot food, craft beverages, artisan goodies... you name it! Come on down, we're here until 3!
Come get your folk on this weekend at the Squamish Farmers Market with these long time musicians ! They will be playing live music, for free, at our market on June.15/2019 from 12-3pm. BrainChild is a folk/folk-blues/folk-rock band from Vancouver, BC CANADA playing 98% original music, written by their principal songwriter, Bing Jensen. They have a long tradition steeped in the 'Hippie' counter-culture of the 1960's - from which both Bing and Dave were active members in the San Francisco music scene, until their decision to head to the "Great White North" when the spectre of Vietnam loomed large over the Bay Area...
This Saturday June.15 we have another fabulous kid's craft. Last weekend we made caterpillars, and now we shall make egg carton butterflies! More paint, pipe cleaners and all the goods will be provided. The event will run from 12-3pm under the "Kid's Craft" tent. Hope to see the kids and their parents there!
At our Farmers' Market we are committed to keeping our market grounds zero waste as much as possible. Our fullest bin at the end of the day is definitely the compost bin. Most of our vendors supply compostable plastics, as well as plain paper and cardboard plates/cups. As long as the paper is plain with no printing on it, and the cardboard is plain as well with no printing on it, it can break down in our compost system. Sea to Sky soils deals with the Squamish compost and with the amount of heat and type of compost technique used, more than just food scraps can fortunately be broken down to make soil. The soil with these products is not used for organic farming however, so dont worry about that. This is a great shift in how we can deal with non reusable food containers, etc. Come visit us at the Zero Waste station at the Market for more information!
