Food map for Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada
Vancouver's food economy is unusually concentrated: one non-profit runs most of the city's farmers markets, one food bank covers four municipalities, and a permanent public market on Granville Island trades every day of the year. This page keeps a live view of what has been recorded on Food Web's Asset Map within fifteen kilometres of downtown — every category, including the entries that have not yet been classified.

The short answer
Vancouver's mapped food landscape runs from Granville Island's year-round public market and the seven seasonal markets run by Vancouver Farmers Markets, through the city's grocers and bakeries, to the community food organisations and food banks that serve it. Most of the region's food-bank network sits outside the city boundary, in Burnaby, Richmond, Surrey and the Tri-Cities.
Questions about food business in Vancouver
- What does this Vancouver food map show?
- Every food business and food organisation Food Web has recorded within fifteen kilometres of downtown Vancouver: markets, grocers, bakeries, restaurants, community food organisations, community gardens, food banks and farms, plus entries recorded but not yet classified. It is a live query, so the map re-runs each time the page loads.
- Where are Vancouver's food banks?
- The Greater Vancouver Food Bank distributes directly in Vancouver, Burnaby, New Westminster and the North Shore and supplies more than 160 agency partners. Most of the wider mapped network sits outside the City of Vancouver itself, in Richmond, Surrey, Delta and the Tri-Cities. Food Banks BC's Find a Food Bank directory covers the province.
- Can I rent a commercial kitchen in Vancouver through Food Web?
- Food Web's bookable kitchen listings are concentrated in Atlantic Canada at present, so there may be no bookable kitchen in Vancouver yet. The Asset Map still records the city's kitchens, community kitchens and food organisations, and kitchen owners anywhere in Canada can list their space.
Two guides sit behind this map. Our guide to Vancouver's farmers markets covers the season dates for Trout Lake, Riley Park, Kitsilano, Mount Pleasant, West End, False Creek and Downtown, and the BC nutrition coupon program. Our guide to food banks in Vancouver covers the Greater Vancouver Food Bank, Food Banks BC and how to register.
One caveat on reading the map: most of what has been recorded in Vancouver has not yet been classified, and the market layer mixes seasonal farmers markets with year-round produce shops that carry "market" in their name.
