They’ll be a fresh face managing this year’s Port Coquitlam farmers market.
This week, the Haney Farmers Market Society — which organizes the weekly market at Leigh Square Community Arts Village and recently hired Brett Hertzog as its executive director — announced Ellen Fowler had taken over the top job in PoCo from Aynsley Wong Meldrum, who resigned last year.
Fowler has worked as a volunteer and staff member with several farmers markets in the Lower Mainland including as market co-ordinator of the Langley Community Farmers Market; she also has a background in food service, retail and event management.
The 11th annual PoCo Farmers Market runs on Thursdays from June 6 to Oct. 10, 3 to 7 p.m.
