Ariella Falkowski with Lohbrunner Community Farm helps a customer pick out some locally grown produce during a previous season of the Goldstream Farmers Market.
She said those numbers combined with fewer COVID-19 restrictions than in 2020 meant the market felt like a return to form.
”I think it exceeded our expectations,” said Anderson.
Each Saturday, more than 25 vendors set up in Langford’s Veterans’ Memorial Park offering everything from fresh produce, prepared food, crafts, clothes and more.
“I think a lot of people missed it last year because they didn’t attend,” she said of the market.
While this season may have felt closer to normal, Anderson said it was still a modified market, with COVID restrictions preventing live music from being a part of the experience.
