Jams and jellies, macaroons, handmade soaps and plants were among the products sold on the first day of the eighth annual Port Coquitlam Farmers' Market on Thursday.
More than 1,300 shoppers came to Leigh Square Community Arts Village in downtown PoCo to visit with the 45 vendors on site.
And some got a bite of the celebration cake cut by acting mayor Coun. Glenn Pollock and Port Coquitlam MLA Mike Farnworth.
The theme for next Thursday is Bike to the Market; valet parking will be available for cyclists.
The PoCo Farmers' Market runs 3 to 7 p.m. on Thursdays until Sept. 29, next to PoCo city hall.
