La Vida Local is a feature aimed at connecting you with some of the best foods and goods within Vancouver while raising awareness of how buying local benefits everyone involved. When you buy local, you're not just supporting these individuals, but also helping to grow and sustain the local community.
UBC Farm has brought back their market and this time they're offering it three times a week from now until October! Their markets are a great source for the freshest locally and organically grown produce. And when we say fresh, we mean "buy right off the farm" fresh. No transportation, no produce that isn't fully ripe, just freshness!

Tuesdays from 4:30pm-6:30pm at the UBC Farm.
