Markets & Festivals

The West Kootenay EcoSociety protects the natural environment while building a just and sustainable post-carbon world. Our markets and festivals help develop a sense of community while supporting the growth of our local economy. EcoSociety’s markets and festivals are developed with these goals in mind:

  • Give farmers and craftspeople opportunities to sell fruits, vegetables, and other products directly to consumers
  • Help farmers and craftspeople earn a sustainable livelihood
  • Build relationships between producers and consumers
  • Provide community members an opportunity to obtain fresh, nutritious, and local produce, ideally within walking distance of their homes
  • Bring energy and commerce to existing local businesses
  • Create fond memories of community celebration and appreciation

We hope you will join us for another season of fun and community!
