The Market for both Wednesday and Saturday is located at Cottonwood Falls Park 199 Carbonate St, Nelson, BC V1L 4P1 

Farm produce, bakers, artisans, community spirit, and much more are all that make the Nelson Farmers Market the heart of our community. Our goal is to provide a market that allows community members to access healthy food and support the direct interactions between farmers and consumers. The Nelson Farmers Market operations are a means of the City of Nelson’s goal to promote and support local food sustainability.

In-light of COVID-19, we have established guidelines and protocols that support the direction and guidance of our Provincial Health Officials and the Federal Government. There will be a mandatory hand sanitizing station at the entrance. Delineators will guide all patrons to ease the flow of traffic. The City of Nelson has established COVID-19 Protocols and Safety Plan for the markets.

All patrons on the Market premises must adhere to the distancing and sanitizing protocols we have provided. If you choose not to comply, you risk the chance of being asked to leave.

The Nelson Farmers Market Advisory Committee (NFMAC) consists of a variety of representatives from multiple sectors in the community.

The committee members meet once a month to help inform and provide input on key insights, opportunities, market strategies, and trends relating to the Nelson Farmers Market. Additionally, the NFMAC will act as a source of feedback for City of Nelson staff to help facilitate the development of policy and rule-making initiatives for a fair and efficient market.

Members are selected based on their experience and expertise. The goal is to have an advisory committee with diverse skills, knowledge and perspectives to ensure the Nelson Farmers Market will benefit from a richness of advice and guidance.

Currently, we are not accepting applications for the NFMAC.
