The Golden Farmers Market promotes a vibrant local food culture by providing a community platform for the sale of locally produced agricultural & artisanal products. The market has been an ever-evolving fixture of the community since 2007 and Local Food Matters is delighted to take on the operations of the market in 2024! Our goal is to create a vibrant, bustling community hub in which vendor small businesses thrive and community members come together around food & art.

The Power of Produce (POP) Kids Club looks to transform your kids into market participants with educational activities, demonstrations, interactions with their local food growers, and challenges to try fresh market produce. Take for instance, the “Two Bite Club” — a challenge to taste new fruits or veggies, or give familiar ones a second chance. By participating in POP Club activities like the “Two Bite Club”, each kid will earn a $3 POP Bucks token. Children are awarded for their efforts and may select fresh fruits and veggies for the token amount at approved vendors. POP club participation is a win-win for parents and children alike.

 

Parents, witness your kids’ light bulb moments as they interact with activities, food, and practices that champion a healthy lifestyle. Kids will learn while having fun, with the added bonus of becoming active market members. Empowered by the bucks, they are sure to shop and strut as they peruse the market for their edible take-home treasures. Free and fun for all — the POP Club tent is where you and your little ones will want to stop before you shop, every market day.

Golden Threads is a collaborative initiative of social services and community agencies, municipal government, health services, business leaders, and caring residents of Golden, British Columbia and its surrounding communities. Our collaboration began in 2023 for the purpose of developing a ‘Common Agenda for Poverty Reduction in Golden and CSRD Area A’, a strategic visioning document that will serve to guide, focus, and maximize our collective impact.

​

The initiative is directed by a Leadership Roundtable, an action group composed of nonprofit organizations, representatives from local government, and business owners committed to supporting a resilient community where everyone has an opportunity to thrive. Our focus is to shed light on the untold stories of those living with less in our community, and engage residents in the development of locally-actionable strategies. We have the community willingness, a fantastic collection of committed professionals, big hearted citizens, and multi-sector support.
