Since the first market…

Since our very first community market in summerland in 2019, adoptable dogs have been a cherished & driving force behind farmer & the flea.

we believe that dogs make everything better. therefor, we have partnered with our local shelter & various rescues to make sure we are doing just that. a vital component of this partnership is to not only find homes for these dogs, but to share with the public the importance of dog welfare, well-being & responsible dog ownership.

over the years, our market has proudly helped 50+ pups find their forever homes. whether you come to the market to shop local, enjoy the live music or just soak in the vibes - there’s sure to be some cute, wagging tails ready to make your day!

rescues we work with:

  • SB County Shelter @Sbanimalservices

  • LeWoof Rescue @lewoofrescue

  • Care For Paws @care4pawssb

  • Cold Noses Warm Hearts

  • RGD (“Real Good Dogs”) @realgoodrescue
