The outdoor market season has ended, but Saturday mornings in Courtenay have not gone quiet. On October 16 the Comox Valley Farmers’ Market announced that its fall and winter Saturday markets had moved indoors to the Native Sons Hall, at 360 Cliffe Avenue, starting October 17. The hours stay the same: 9 a.m. to 1 p.m.
“The weather is changing and there are fewer daylight hours but that doesn’t mean that the market season is over,” the market wrote. “Here in the Comox Valley we live in an agricultural rich area where we can grow food all year long. If you have not attended our fall/winter markets now is the time to pop in and enjoy all that the fall bounty has to offer.”
That is one of the quiet privileges of this valley. While many parts of the country pack the farm stand away until May, growers here can still bring greens, roots, stored apples, baking, cheese and preserves to a hall in the middle of town. The indoor market is also an easy meeting place on a wet Saturday — you can do the week’s shopping, talk to the person who grew the food, and be back out on Cliffe Avenue before the afternoon sets in.
For vendor lists, last-minute changes and the rest of the year’s calendar, the market’s website is cvfm.ca, and the contact email is info@cvfm.ca. The mailing address is Box 3301, Courtenay, B.C., V9N 5N5. If you are planning a first visit, going early in the four-hour window is often easier, especially on a rainy Saturday when the hall fills up; the market’s own site is the place to confirm that a given week is running as usual.
