Market · Coombs
Old Country Market (Coombs)
The market with goats on the roof. A year-round food hall, deli, ice-cream counter, pizza patio and gift shops — the most photographed stop between Nanaimo and Tofino. Heaving in summer; off-peak in shoulder season.
Market · Qualicum BeachQualicum Beach Farmers Market
Saturday mornings at the Civic Centre lawn from late April to October. Around 60 vendors — Errington breads, kelp jam, asparagus, seedlings, a busker by the gate. Free, BYO bags.
Market · ErringtonErrington Farmers Market
Sunday mornings at Errington War Memorial Hall. Smaller and homier than Qualicum — bread, eggs, microgreens, preserves, weekly live music on the porch.
