The BC Association of Farmers’ Markets is excited to announce that July is Meet My Market month at farmers’ markets across the province!
Throughout the month of July, anyone in BC can participate in Meet My Market month by bringing a friend to their local BC farmers’ market and entering a grand prize giveaway via social media or in person at participating markets. Meet My Market month kicks off on July 1 and runs until July 31, 2015.
Across the province, more than 125 farmers’ markets offer an abundance of locally grown food and locally made goods, along with community fun including live music, children’s activities, cooking classes, artisan workshops and a place for neighbourhoods to come together.
Funding support for Meet My Market month is provided, in part, by the BC Government’s Buy Local Program; delivered by the Investment Agriculture Foundation of BC with funding from the BC Ministry of Agriculture, Vancity and the BC Association of Farmers’ Markets.
Celebrate Meet My Market month this July and you could win big! Here’s how:
1. At participating markets: Simply bring a friend to your favourite BC farmers’ market and fill out a ballot at the info booth. Many markets are offering additional incentives such as a free coffee or baked treat.
2. Via social media: Snap a photo at your favourite BC farmers’ market and post it on social media, tagging @bcfarmersmarket and add #MeetMyMarket to enter. Not on Instagram or Twitter? No problem. You can also enter via the BCAFM Facebook Page.
3. All entries will be automatically entered to win one of two grand prizes: A three-night getaway (+ wine touring) for two to Sparkling Hill Resort in the Okanagan. Social media entrants will also be eligible to win one of five weekly random prize draws for $50 to spend at the farmers’ market of their choice.
