"The award will help fund a part-time marketing manager position, enabling the Market to better serve customers and vendors who see real value in a local venue for high quality ‘make it, bake it or grow it’ goods,” said Gary Jones, president of the Market Society and Kwantlen horticulture instructor. “In addition, revenues from market sales will be reinvested in the farmers, crafters and bakers of the local Langley community. This is a win-win for the Market, vendors, customers and Kwantlen.”

Langley Community Farmers Market Society (LCFMS) is a non-profit organization that organizes the Farmers Market operating on the Kwantlen Langley campus. It contributes to the economic viability of local farms and businesses, allows producers and customers to interact, and provides public education about food security and availability.
