DELTA, B.C. - The springtime harvest of greenhouse veggies has begun! It's time to celebrate their arrival.
This year, Village Farms is participating in the 2nd annual BC Veggie Day, sponsored by the B.C. Greenhouse Growers Association with support from the BC Government’s Buy Local Program.
Village Farms is supporting the event with on-package stickers throughout the entire month of May, and on Saturday, May 23, consumers will have the opportunity to meet the company's farmers at several key retailer locations in the greater Vancouver area.
Farmers will be on hand all day to speak with consumers and hand out samples of greenhouse grown products. Meet some of Village Farms' growers in the video above!
Village Farms' Chef Darren Brown stopped by Vancouver’s CTV News to talk more about the company’s work for BC Veggie Day, and share his recipe for a Rebel Tomato Tart, with greek yogurt, feta, cucumber, and dill.
“It’s a perfect time, all the greenhouses in town are up to full speed and they're full and lush, so it’s a great time for vegetables,” Brown says.

Village Farms says it is pleased to be a part of BC Veggie Day, as it is a great opportunity to promote locally greenhouse grown vegetables in British Columbia and bring awareness to sustainable farming.
