The Bowen Road Farmers' Market - Nanaimo, BC Canada - Farmers' Markets on Waymarking.com

This market is promoting the 100 mile diet. The average ingredient travels 1500 miles (or more) to reach the table of your typical North American. In this day and age, a couple of Canadians decided to reduce their 'footprint' for a year by only eating from things that were grown or produced within 100 miles of their home in Vancouver, BC.
It is an interesting concept and more can be learned about it here.

This market is to introduce Nanaimo consumers to the local farmers and fishermen that can supply food within the general guidelines of the 100 mile diet.

It is open from 4:00 PM to 7:00 PM every Wednesday until October 8th.
