Norm and Lynn went to the Skeena Valley Farmers Market with their produce about eight ‘years ago; In the. past | three years they have bee at the market on a steady basis, with Lynn and their daughter Kim running the stand,

Each year has been busier then the last. If you have been at the Carey's stand on the west side of the market, you have -probably noticed the line ups.

Nomm says their success lies in having good quality produce, a consistent supply and reasonable prices, .

N&L Greenhouses also supplies Testaurants, procery storcs and the hospital with fresh produce.

Norm guesses that our Farmers Market:is the largest one north of Kamloops. He contributes its

‘growth and success to: Terrace’s

good community spirit.

You can meet the Carey’s at the Skeena Valley Farmers Market every Saturday morning, or visit N&L greenhouses on Woodland Park Drive.

The Farmer's Market starts every Saturday at 9 a.m. in the parking. lot across from George Little Park, Lynne Christiansen is @ vendor at the market and a member of the market board.
