NORTHERNBC

Each farmers’ market in Northern BC is a unique reflection of the community, land and people, and a place where food producers can connect with neighbours and visitors. Visit the 12 farmers’ markets in the region to taste the unique flavours of birch syrup, haskap berries, candied salmon, and wild mushrooms. While you’re there, fill up your bag with freshly harvested greens, flavourful preserves, heritage grains, and fresh baked bread.

Travel from community to community and explore the volcanic valleys, glacial lakes, snowy mountains and the culturally-rich Haida Gwaii - the magic of Northern BC will captivate you.

More to do here:

• Highlights include Monkman Provincial Park, Tatshenshini-Alsek Provincial Park (UNESCO World Heritage Site), Haida Gwaii, and the epic 2,237 km Alaska Highway

• The “Serengeti of the North,” the Muskwa-Kechika is one of the largest, most biodiverse areas in the Rocky Mountain range

• The Skeena River flows from Terrace to Prince Rupert and offers fishing, hiking, waterfalls and magnificent views
