A Question That Started Everything
What actually makes a farmers market thrive — the produce, the people, or something harder to measure? That question pulled me in years ago, and I have been chasing honest answers ever since, notebook in one hand and a bag of just-picked vegetables in the other.
I am a writer and an analyst, and those two sides rarely sit still. On a Saturday morning I might be talking to a vendor about what sells and what sits, then by afternoon I am back at my desk mapping out the patterns. That back-and-forth is where my work lives. The field gives me texture; the analysis gives me clarity.
What You Can Expect Here
Whether you are new to local food commerce or you have been navigating BC's market scene for years, I write with both of you in mind. Here is how I tend to approach things:
- Testing ideas before writing about them — no armchair observations
- Translating data and trends into plain, usable language
- Highlighting what actually works for vendors and shoppers alike
- Keeping curiosity at the centre of every piece
If any of that sounds useful to you, I would genuinely love to have you read along. Feel free to reach out anytime through the contact page — good conversations are always worth starting.
