New in 2025 – Berry Entertaining Markets!
With five years experience as a vendor, I have learned a lot about markets. I know what vendors like and don’t like. I know what market managers should do to make a market as successful as possible and I have proven that I am willing to put in the time and effort to make that happen. And I’ve had years and years of experience organizing concerts, recitals and musical reviews so that can’t hurt!
Due to the success of my holiday market in 2024, and with the encouragement of many of my vendors and vendor friends, I have launched Berry Entertaining Markets with some exciting plans for markets in 2025!
In addition to hosting another holiday market at Crofton Manor (in Vancouver) on November 15th, I will be hosting a weekly summer market at Civic Plaza in North Vancouver (14th & Lonsdale) from May 1st to August 28th, 2025. Our market will be on Thursdays from 3:00 to 7:00 and my plan is to showcase a wide variety of vendors without crowding their categories with competition – a win-win situation for vendors and shoppers alike.
I am also in the early stages of planning a one-day summer market and a couple more holiday markets for 2025.
For more information on market opportunities and/or to be put on my mailing list for upcoming markets, please email me at: berryentertainingmarkets@gmail.com
WINTER 2024
As the owner of Cookies & Company, I hosted a really successful holiday market in November 2024. The market was at Venvi Crofton Manor, an active living retirement home in Vancouver. Our market was open to the public and we had customers filling the market all day long. The residents at Crofton Manor loved having us there, the administration has already invited us back to do it again in 2025 and verbal customer reviews told us that they loved the variety of vendors.
Mark your calendars for November 15, 2025 to join us at Crofton Manor again!
I’m always excited to take Cookies & Company to farmers markets and craft markets around the lower mainland. Check back here each season to find out where I’ll be! Feel free to email me for more details or if you’d like to place an order to pick up at one of my markets.

SUMMER 2022: Back at Kwantlen Street Market and Steveston Farmers and Artisans Markets this season. And I will also be at Coast Valley Markets summer market in North Vancouver (14th & Lonsdale).
FALL/WINTER 2021: I started selling at the Ambleside Holiday Market and, even though it’s mighty chilly out there, I had a great time – again met some great small business owners and received lots of lovely compliments from customers and vendors alike.
SPRING/SUMMER 2021: My first season of farmers markets! I was busy baking every week for the Kwantlen Street Market and the Steveston Farmers and Artisans Market – and I loved it! I met some really lovely people – both vendors and customers – and it’s so awesome to have customers who come to me every week for their favourites.
In 2019, my first year of business, I was invited to sell in an International Women’s Day market, a Mother’s Day market, a summer craft market, an autumn farmers’ market and two Christmas markets. And in 2020, I did a super fun Valentine’s Day market at a retirement home in Coquitlam.
Cookies To Go
Starting in the summer of 2019, I was taking Cookies & Company to the head offices of Mountain Equipment Co-Op with an assortment of baked goods – both sweet and savoury – for the staff to purchase for their afternoon “pick me up”.
Fingers crossed I’ll be able to return to my weekly visits after the pandemic!
