| Pop up Fruit Stand
Hi all,
I was wondering if anyone knew or how to contact a local fruit stand that sells Chilliwack corn and various other fruits and vegetables. They are located on Boundary and Moscrop in the parking lot of the local church and they normally start selling around this time. Since I moved to Richmond, I no longer able to drive by and see when they are open. So, if anyone can provide any info or let me know when they are there it would be much appreciated.
Thanks

Richmond farm market, right near the Massey tunnel. They are open now and sell as much local produce as possible. Might not be a fruit stand but it's as close as you can get

I like this place because they bring it from the Okanagan which is convenient.

Thanks | I know exactly which stand you are talking about. 10/10 times that I stopped there to get corn, it was really good whereas other farmer's market is hit and miss. If you did get info on times open, please post!

I seem to think / remember that local corn wouldn't be in season until late July / August-ish.

If I didn't know any better I'd swear I posted this myself. I wonder about them every summer. It's actually around 28/29th. There's another one just up the street from there but I prefer this one.

the fruit stand is just a couple chinese ladies selling out of the back of a van. nothing sophisticated, and definitely not going to see them using social media anytime soon.

Is this in the big parking lot on the west side of the street? Connected to the Greek Orthodox church?

Just bought some today from the stand -- $10 for a ~2.25 lb bag, $15 for a 3.xx lb bag. Their list price is $4.50/lb, but when I worked out the actual math after I got home, the per pound price turned out to be closer to $4.40/lb instead.
The bags I saw all look very fresh to me, and is a mix of medium and large sized cherries. The bag I chose looked really good, and when I ate them, is (of course) super fresh. But it is a touch more tangy than I was expecting, given their looks.
Save-On-Foods was doing $3.99/lb of BC cherries yesterday, and those looked good too. Difficult to say which one is a better bargain.

I talked to the fruit stand lady, and she told me they are there on the south side of the Greek church everyday. But once the Greek festival starts, they'll be moving into a stall there. Not sure how long the Greek festival will go on for though.
