Abbotsford Farm & Country Market

The Abbotsford Farm & Country Market, established in 2003 and operated by the non-profit Abbotsford Farm & Country Market Society, stands as a vibrant celebration of community, sustainability, and local enterprise. With its blend of modern market energy and time-honoured “make, bake, or grow” principles, the market offers a unique experience for vendors and visitors alike.

Abbotsford’s economy thrives on its rich agricultural heritage. Agri-related businesses generate more than one third of the region’s economic activity and are responsible for 20% of all local jobs. Most of the market’s vendors are growers and food producers from the Abbotsford area, meaning that every purchase directly supports the livelihoods of local families and helps sustain a resilient, diverse local economy.

Choosing to shop at the Abbotsford Farm & Country Market is an act of environmental stewardship. Buying local food helps sustain oxygen-producing plants, reduces greenhouse gas emissions by minimizing the need for packaging and long-distance transportation, and supports a healthier planet overall. For families, the benefits are equally compelling: local food is fresher, often naturally ripened, and packed with flavour and nutrition, making it a healthier choice for every household.

Every visit to the Abbotsford Farm & Country Market is more than a shopping trip—it is an investment in the health of loved ones, the local environment, and the future of the community. By supporting local producers, shoppers help ensure the continued availability of fresh, local food for generations to come.

Those wishing to learn more about the region’s agricultural traditions and local food scene are encouraged to connect with farmers and food producers at the market each week. The vibrant atmosphere provides opportunities to discover new products, exchange ideas, and celebrate the remarkable talents of Abbotsford’s artisans and entertainers.

The Abbotsford Farm & Country Market is more than a marketplace; it is a living testament to the strength and creativity of the local community, where tradition and innovation come together to nourish both people and the land.
