Jamaican patties, stylish candles, baked goods and more you can find at your local Farmers' Market this year.

Here‘s a list of 37 BIPOC vendors who are tabling at markets around the Lower Mainland this winter. For more information about when and where each market is, check out bcfarmersmarkettrail.com.
