looks like camra bc's dream to have beer available at farmers' markets will become a reality. from camra vancouver president, adam chatburn: Premier Clark today announced that Farmers Markets will be permitted to sell locally produced craft beer and wine, something that CAMRA BC has been advocating all year.

I would like to express my gratitude to the hundreds of people who joined in our Farmers Market campaign and signed letters, this is your victory and a victory for a common sense approach to alcohol sales.
