Famers Market Awards 2022
Gordon Murray (right) displays Most Outstanding Community Impact award (Farmers’ Market – Small), for Two Rivers Farmers Market in Lytton.
Farmers’ markets in Lytton, Revelstoke, and Cedar were honoured in November at the annual BC Farmers’ Markets Awards ceremony.
The annual event doesn’t so much judge which is the ‘best’ farmers’ market, which is probably impossible, but rather looks at the markets’ positive impact on its community that year.
