The Bowen Road Farmers Market was started by a group of people concerned about our quickly changing world, the loss of rurality, food production, food sustainability and the connection to the earth. Our market is fun and vibrant. Weekly, we feature musicians, and of course a wide variety of friendly vendors and excellent products, produced by organic growers, who transport their food within a 50 mile radius. Come to the Bowen Road Farmers Market and meet the people who grow and produce the food you eat.

We’re open every Wednesday from May to October from 4 pm to 6:30 pm and we are located directly behind the Beban Park Recreation Centre at 2300 Bowen Road in Nanaimo.
