Local Flavours, Familiar Faces!

BC Association of Farmers' Markets

Farmers' markets operate in every type of community across British Columbia from cities and suburbs to rural communities. Markets vary in size and sophistication, from large sheltered public markets to a few farmers with their trucks parked next to each other in a parking lot or farm field. Now that's fresh!

How to Arrange Ministry of Highways (MOH) Approved Sign(s) for your BC Association of Farmers' Market (BCAFM) members

1. You must be a member in good standing of the BCAFM.
2. Download the template file here (240 KB)
3. If you are looking for a large sign on a highway it is likely to be the SU-028X.
4. Take your information [hours and location of the market and where you hope to put the sign(s)], to your local MOH office.
5. The MOH office will assist you in choosing the correct location and in determining the size of the sign.
6. Once you know the exact dimensions of the sign and which of the designs you will be using (determined by MOH), take these requirements to your local sign shop for construction of the sign(s).

It is the responsibility of each market to pay all the costs of the sign construction and deliver them to the local MOH yard. Any costs involved in installation are also to be covered by the participating market.

Your local MOH office can give you an estimate of these costs.

[Farmers Markets signs will now be part of the official blue and white signs in the Province. Old signs do not have to be replaced but as they wear out the MOH will only be putting up these signs in the future.]
