Broke & Bougie
60 stalls, a lake, a coffee truck, and an official 'no plan' plan every Saturday morning in John Hendry Park.
John Hendry Park (Trout Lake), East Vancouver
More infoOn Saturday mornings the parking lot beside Trout Lake fills with 60-plus farms, bakers, and producers for what people reasonably call the city's biggest farmers market. Browsing is free, there is a coffee truck, and you will end up splitting a warm pastry on the grass by the lake feeling like a competent adult. Buy one small thing for the other to try. The plan, specifically, is no plan.
Drift through 60+ farm and bakery stalls beside the lake, just-picked berries, fresh bread, weird-good preserves, and make it a shared mission: taste samples, meet a dog or six, and buy one small thing each for the other to try. Browsing's free; a few dollars buys a picnic to split on the grass. It runs Saturdays 9am to 2pm, April through October, so bring a tote and small bills. Give it 75 minutes, then cap it with a slow loop of the lake.
