MARKET by Jean-Georges to hold season’s final farmers market Sunday

After its first summer hosting a series of farmers markets, the Shangri-La Hotel Vancouver is holding its final one this Sunday (September 23).

Held outside on the third-floor terrace of MARKET by Jean-Georges , it takes place from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. and is open to the public. Confirmed vendors include Waterworking Microgreens, Beaucoup Bakery, Sticky Spoon jam, Mix the Bakery, and Take a Fancy Chocolates & Treats.

I was invited down to the August 19 market to sample some of the wares; here's a taste of what was on offer. Below, Carolyn Ali photos.

Hui's Farm sells a variety of organic mushrooms.

Chashma Heinze makes her vegetarian Pâté Pastiche from seeds and grains.

Live music keeps the atmosphere festive.

Beaucoup Bakery's rustic lemon-hazelnut macarons (top), rich Valrhona brownies, and chestnut honey financiers are wonderfully decadent.

Dohm cheese is a scrumptious fresh cheese that blends herbs with garlic; it's a mild yet addictive spread.
