I remember passing by the Farmers Market at Trout Lake on Saturdays and walking from stall to stall admiring the colorful displays of groceries. You can always be sure that summer is in full force when the signs for fresh fruit, fish, bread, honey, cheese, and all sorts of other delectables come together at the Vancouver Farmers Market.

2 weeks ago, I had a chance to drop by the Main St. location (they are set up right in the park on Wednesdays from 3-7pm) to learn about the vendors and their goodies.

There were 2 food trucks present: Blue Smoke BBQ (that’s their brisket sandwich above) and Off the Wagon tacos.

As for unique foods, we definitely have to mention the homemade kimchi,

Sea asparagus (which I personally like either sauteed in garlic butter or tossed in a salad with some balsamic vinegar),
