Swan Lake Market & Garden - Fresh Produce & Garden Supplies

Swan Lake Market & Garden has evolved from a modest roadside fruit stand in 1959 to a multifaceted destination offering fresh produce, a garden centre, and a variety of local products. This transformation reflects its commitment to quality and community engagement.

A Legacy of Growth

Established by the Kowaluk family, the original fruit stand provided locally grown fruits and vegetables. Over the years, the market expanded its offerings to include a diverse range of products, becoming a year-round establishment by 1989. In 2021, new ownership introduced renovations and a renewed focus on sustainability and customer experience.

Diverse Market Offerings

The market features a selection of fresh, locally sourced produce, including seasonal fruits and vegetables. The deli offers specialty items, while the bakery provides freshly made goods. The grocery section includes dairy products, eggs, and pantry staples. The wellness department, established in 2022, offers natural health products recommended by health professionals.

Garden Centre and Outdoor Plants

The garden centre offers a variety of outdoor plants, trees, shrubs, and gardening supplies. Customers can find annuals, perennials, roses, bulbs, vines, grasses, aquatic plants, and hanging baskets. The centre also provides tools and accessories for gardening needs.

Community Events and Workshops

Swan Lake Market & Garden hosts events and workshops throughout the year. Past events have included seasonal planter workshops and holiday wreath workshops. These activities provide opportunities for community engagement and learning.

Commitment to Sustainability

The market has implemented environmentally responsible practices, such as using compostable bags and packaging. This initiative reflects its dedication to reducing environmental impact and promoting sustainability.

Swan Lake Market & Garden continues to serve the community, offering quality products and fostering connections among nature, residents and visitors in and around Vernon.

Save More: Farmers' Market Nutrition Coupon Program

Access to nutritious, locally sourced food is essential for healthy communities. The British Columbia Farmers' Market Nutrition Coupon Program (FMNCP) addresses this need by connecting lower-income families, seniors, and pregnant individuals with fresh produce and food products from local farmers' markets. This initiative enhances food security, supports local agriculture, and fosters community connections.

Support Local Vendors at Vernon Farmers' Market

The Vernon Farmers' Market has been a cornerstone of the community since 1979, growing from a modest gathering to an expanding venue supporting over 100 vendors per market. From April to October, the market offers a wide array of locally grown produce, artisanal goods, and prepared foods. Visitors can explore the market every Monday and Thursday from 8 a.m.
