BC Farmers’ Market Association just launched their brand new mobile app, the Tasting Passport! The Tasting Passport app is a fun way to discover and share popular activities happening around the markets across British Columbia – and it’s a great way to support eating local.
Each self-guided tour on the Tasting Passport features go-to neighbourhood spots, including places like the best local farm-to-table restaurants, popular local values-based businesses, and free and accessible cultural attractions and activities.
Content for the itineraries has been thoughtfully curated with support from tourism partners and Destination BC’s Co-operative Marketing Partnership Program.
The Tasting Passport lets travelers and locals share their foodie experiences and local adventures and get rewarded for exploring communities across BC.
Superfoodie fans who check in at BC farmers’ market destinations will reach new tier levels within the app, unlock bonus badges, and redeem prizes for hitting milestones.
