Surrey’s agricultural community covers one-third of our city with over 475 working farms. We’ve got farmers markets, farm stores, and pick-your-own experiences that bring fresh, local food straight to your table year-round.
Weekly Farmers Markets
Surrey Urban Farmers Market runs Saturdays 10am-3pm at Royal Kwantlen Park. This is our main weekend market where you’ll find the freshest seasonal produce and connect directly with local growers.
Clayton Community Farmers Market operates every other Sunday with 65+ vendors plus a Family Fun Zone that makes shopping a family experience.
Cloverdale Market Days brings five special summer events that transform Historic Downtown Cloverdale into a busy marketplace during the growing season.
We recommend arriving right at opening time for the best selection. Those perfect strawberries and seasonal vegetables sell out quickly, and you’ll avoid the weekend crowds that build up later.

Growing Your Own Food and Community Gardens
Growing Your Own Food and Community Gardens
We know farm stores build great relationships with local growers, but you can go further by growing your own food. Surrey’s Fraser Valley climate and soil work brilliantly for herbs, vegetables, fruits, and nuts in your own garden. Got just a balcony? Container gardening still gives you plenty of options. When you don’t have private space, our community gardens offer shared plots where you’ll meet neighbours, swap knowledge, and learn from each other. Local nurseries stock everything you need to start. When we grow our own food, we’re backing Surrey’s sustainability targets and strengthening our community connections.
Educational Farm Experiences and Field Access
When you want to understand where your food comes from, Surrey’s working farms welcome you for real learning experiences. Rondriso Farm opens Thursday through Saturday for hands-on time with animals and farming work. A Rocha Farm mixes education with shopping on Tuesdays and Saturdays, teaching sustainable farming and wildlife protection. You can visit fields at 4981 King George Blvd daily from 9:00AM to 6:00PM during season. Close to Royal Kwantlen Park and local Community Centre areas, these spots give families a chance to connect with Surrey’s farming history.
Questions Often Asked
Is It Cheaper to Buy From Local Farmers?
Yes, buying from local farmers often costs less than supermarkets.
We regularly find local farmers offer better prices than big retailers, particularly when produce is in season. When you buy in bulk, join CSA programmes, or shop at farmers’ markets, you’re saving money whilst backing your local farming community.
Why You Should Shop at Local Farmers Market?
Shopping at your local farmers market strengthens community bonds while giving you fresher, tastier food that hasn’t travelled far. You’re directly supporting your neighbours, reducing environmental impact, and getting seasonal produce at its peak quality.
What’s the Best Time to Go to a Farmers Market?
The best time to visit your local farmers market is right when it opens at 10am.
We recommend getting there early because you’ll have first pick of the freshest produce. Those perfect strawberries and seasonal vegetables sell out quickly, so arriving early means you won’t miss out on what you’re after. Plus, you’ll avoid the weekend crowds that build up later in the morning.
What Is the Biggest Farmers Market in Canada?
St. Lawrence Market in Toronto stands out as Canada’s biggest farmers market. This historic venue draws millions of visitors each year and houses hundreds of vendors across several buildings. While we appreciate our local Surrey markets, Toronto’s market clearly takes the lead in scale and visitor numbers.
