We’ll be checking this out on Tuesday and hope to see you there! Open to the public and FREE!
Not just another farmers market, the Kwantlen St. Market promises to entice the entire community. On Tuesday, September 8th 2015, from 11am to 3pm, the Kwantlen Student Association (KSA), in conjunction with Farm Fresh Events, will introduce the newest of Richmond events. As part of their Welcome Week at Kwantlen Polytechnic University (KPU) Richmond, the KSA is giving a sneak peek of the proposed Kwantlen St. Market starting Spring 2016. This preview will highlight the KSA’s student services including Sustainable KSA, MultiPass, and KPU programs, with the added excitement of a farmers market. The whole community is invited to visit for fresh produce, artisanal products and jewelry, and to take in live entertainment and demos.
The market will also highlight KPU’s Sustainable Agriculture and Farm School programs, education programs for new farmers to learn ecologically sensitive agriculture practices and how to build their own agricultural businesses. The KSA’s Sustainability Coordinator, Mairi Lester, “is thrilled to share a peek of the new market we’re building with students and the community.” Joining the KSA and Farm Fresh Events at the market will be KPU Recreation, KPU’s Student Health 101 program, TransLink’s Compass Card team, and Z95.3.
The Kwantlen St. Market offers all the goodness of a farmers market, with entertainment, artisan food and crafts and best of all, chef demos using the freshest local produce. Come and sample bites from some top chefs, get cooking tips and recipes, all while supporting local agriculture and businesses.
