The Two Rivers Farmers Market is a small, friendly oasis that features fruit and vegetables grown in hot, dry climates. Located in Nlaka’pamux territory at the confluence of the Fraser and Thompson Rivers, ‘Q’emcin (aka the Village of Lytton) has been an important trade site for more than 10,000 years. Two Rivers Farmers Market is respectful of that tradition and of its role as the only retail outlet of fresh, locally grown food in a 50 kilometer radius.
The BCAFM is here to serve the needs of our member farmers’ markets. We are committed to developing and strengthening the capacity of farmers' markets in all regions of British Columbia, so you, our members can continue to support local farmers and artisans and provide British Columbians with fresh healthy local food.
