New Westminster's weekly Thursday Farmers market in Tipperary Park. I enjoyed my visit but wished I had more time to enjoy the offerings. Planning to revisit if time and weather allowable.

Muy bueno y bonito Mercado. Recomiendo Sabor a Yucatan (comida mexicana) que sirve tacos de Cochinita Pibil. Deliciosos!
Super good option to do you shopping (greens, groceries, fruits, cookies, frozen food), specially if you like tacos, Sabor a Yucatan is the option! 👍🏼

Great time at the New West Farmer's Market! A very clean well run market with a variety of vendors. I particularly liked Holly Hopper Made (she makes dog coats and I have two dogs!!) Loved the cooling coats for dogs, excellent idea. Of course there were many vendors selling food so I had to pick up a little desert. The Peanut Butter Oat cake from Occasionally Honey was delicious! I will be back, it was definitely a great way to find some of the great products we have available here in Metro Vancouver!

The farmer’s market on the day we visited is more vast than usual (with booths on the avenue in front of the City Hall and the parking lot of Tipperary Park). It is not too crowded on a weekday; various products, such as vegetables, eggs, bread, coffee beans, craft beers, whiskeys and much more; stall owners are friendly and patient; have musicians playing delightful tunes occasionally. I truly love the environment here!

I love this time of the year as you get fresh veggies, fruits, bread, cheese, wine etc. This market is close to my place I simply love coming here. One of my favorite place.

We went to check out the New West Farmers Market one day. It's held at Tipperary Park every Thursday from 3 - 7pm, until Nov.3rd. Our first time going to a Farmers Market since pre-pandemic days. My husband and I were impressed as it seemed to us that the number of vendors had gone up, and the calibre of the vendors onsite had improved. We came home with two bottled beverages (Hibiscus and Horchata), a bag of kettle corn, and two different flavors of creme brulee to eat for dessert. (Bubble Tea and Vegan Orange Chocolate)

Hibiscus and Horchata drinks: These drinks were from Tamaly Shop and they were both excellent. Refreshing, flavourful, and sweet but not overly sweet.   5/5

Kettle Corn: Couldn't resist the aroma of the kettle corn wafting through the air as we were walking back to our car, so we bought a bag of Caramel kettle corn from Gary's Kettle Corn. Crunch, crunch, yum, yum!   5/5

Creme Brulee: These were from a booth called Creme Brulee to Go. The Bubble Tea creme brulee came with a small container of boba pearls to go on top. We were told that right before eating, we should pour out the liquid and then put the boba pearls on top. The Vegan Orange Chocolate creme brulee came with two pieces of dehydrated orange slices which we were told to rehydrate in a small dish of water before placing them on top of the creme brulee. The lady who sold them torched the sugar in front of us to get that hard caramelized sugar coating, and told me it should stay hard for about 6 hours. Uh...hate to say it, but...she was mistaken. We put the jars into the fridge as soon as we came home, and when we were ready for dessert about 4 hours later, the sugar had already gone soft. Fortunately, we have our own torches at home so we sprinkled some more sugar on top and torched it again. Both flavors were tasty and the Vegan Orange Chocolate was my favourite, but I found the orange slices unnecessary and was slightly annoyed at being assured that the sugar would stay hard for 6 hours,only to discover that it had already gone soft after only 4 hours.   4/5

Overall, we had a wonderful time at The New West Farmers Market. There are lots of interesting vendors selling quality foods, drinks, and crafts. I'm very much looking forward to going back there again sometime!
