LIQUOR SALES AT FARMERS MARKETS Presentation to the BC Farmers Market Association Annual Conference March 1, 2014

Liquor Policy Review (LPR) The LPR conducted last fall resulted in 73 recommendations to modernize BC liquor policy During the review many people advocated for craft liquor to be available at farmers markets (like WA, OR and CA) The LPR recommendations also supported increased promotion and sales channels for BC manufacturers products Government supported the LPR recommendations and development of enabling law, policy and systems has begun

Background: Current Manufacturing Retail Sales Channels A licence is required to manufacture and sell liquor in BC – licences are issued and monitored by the Liquor Control and Licensing Branch (LCLB) under the authority of the Liquor Control and Licensing Act LCLB licenses 3 types of manufacturers: breweries, wineries and distilleries (cider and sake are both considered wine for this purpose) Manufacturers may apply for an onsite retail store (they may also apply to serve on site by-the-glass). Manufacturers may also distribute their products via LDB, private retail stores, or sell to bars and restaurants.

Farmers Market Authorization LCLB is developing a mechanism so licensed manufacturers may sell liquor at participating farmers markets. Basic proposed eligibility requirements: Must be a licensed manufacturer with an on-site store (no home brewers, Uvin or Ubrews) Manufacturers must notify the Branch to receive an authorization to sell at the market. The notification system will request information such as: name and location of market; market start and end times/date(s); market society number; Confirmation that the market land use agreement permits the sale of liquor.

Liquor at the Market Basic proposed operational requirements include: Hours of liquor sale must fall between 9am and 11pm Product limitations are the same as those at the on-site store (only the manufacturers product) Sample sizes are the same as for the onsite store (but no sale of samples) Sampling must be done at the booth – walking around with samples is not permitted Sales person at market stand must be 19+ and have Serving it Right Manufacturers must post their market authorization during the market

Hosting liquor vendors (proposed) Markets who host liquor vendors: Must align with the Branch definition of farmers market Ensure their market land use agreement permits the retail sale and sampling of liquor Invite liquor vendors (or not) according to their own market principles

Draft Definition Definition below is derived from existing BCAFM definition. Changes (as marked) intend to define markets as temporary but regular (more permanent stores are excluded). A farmers market is a market comprised exclusively (100%) of vendors who make, bake, grow or raise the products they sell, of which a majority of vendors are selling farm products of British Columbia origin. Each market must: be a non profit society registered under the British Columbia Societies Act, have at least 6 vendors, operate for at least 2 hours but no more than 7 hours per market day operate for a minimum of 4 markets per year, but no more than twice per week.

Manufacturing: Wine and Cider LCLB has some basic equipment and production requirements for wineries but there are several ways to determine local content/production of wine LDB has 2 categories of wineries : Land Based and Commercial All wine from a land based winery must be made from fruit grown in BC Commercial wineries typically produce blends of BC wine with imports. They may also produce wines that are all BC grapes- these wines may then apply to be designated BCVQA wines. Cellared in Canada wine is imported or blended wine that has been bottled in Canada or BC. BCVQA (Vintners Quality Alliance) 100% BC grape content (BCVQA only certifies grape wines) Wines have met requirements under the Wines of Marked Quality Regulations (a regulation made under the Agri-Food Choice and Quality Act)

Manufacturing: Beer LCLB and LDB do not have definitions for breweries based on size or brewing technique (there is no legal definition of craft beer). Markets who would like to invite brewers who produce craft beer may wish to create application questions around production level and proportion of local ingredients. Production: Small scale production (i.e. Washington state officially defines microbrewery asProduction of less than 60,000 barrels per year). Breweries must report production to several entities – markets may wish to establish their own definitions of small production and request production information from applicants as part of the jurying process Ingredients: Difficult if not impossible to source 100% from BC (lack of grain production) Hops is widely planted in BC so questions around types or proportions of BC ingredients may be appropriate.

Manufacturing: Spirits BC LDB does have an official classification for craft distilleries must demonstrate use of traditional methodologies must use 100% BC agricultural inputs in production may only produce 50,000 litres of finished product annually. Other small batch distilleries may use the general term craft distilling to describe their methods. If they are not designated by LDB it may be because: their product requires a specialized ingredient not available in BC their process involves the use of bulk Neutral Grain Spirits which are imported then diluted and flavored using a second distilling process, flavor addition or infusion

Questions for Discussion LCLBs intention is to create a permission system that enables the sale of liquor at farmers markets but does not change the nature of the market (e.g. to that of a wine festival). How do markets see this new vendor stream fitting in with the existing market? Would markets place limitations on liquor vendors? What would they be?

Next Steps Determine final elements of model and develop regulations for government approval Communications to markets, manufacturers and local governments
