Mother's Day marks the opening for the Coquitlam Farmers Market at Dogwood Pavilion.
And organizers have a few activities up their sleeves to celebrate this year's launch on Sunday.
Restauranteur Fred Soofi and CKPM's "girl-about-town" Cathy Cena will be on site to shoot a cooking show for Tri-Cities Community Television using fresh ingredients from the market. Their show starts at 10 a.m. with a walking tour of the market, located in the Dogwood parking lot.
Besides the local produce, food trucks from Disco Cheetah Korean Grill, Gourmet Fare and Rocky Point Ice Cream will also be serving up food to hungry guests. And musician Jeff Neufeld will entertain the crowd while kids can decorate a small pot for mom and plant a flower.
The market runs on Sundays through Oct. 25 from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Poirier Street and Winslow Avenue in Coquitlam.
Meanwhile, Coquitlam Farmers Market has lined up three workshops for the rest of the month: May 17 (Seed Bomb), May 24 (Centennial Culinary Program) and May 31 (Garden Stepping StonesStop).
