I know that you all make your weekly trek to the farmers market and I applaud you. But if you are one of the very few who do not make it a part of your weekly regime then this should make it a bit easier.

DOWNTOWN-CERTIFIED FARMERS’ MARKETS COMING IN MAY
Local growers to featuring fresh fruits and vegetables at the peak of their season

SACRAMENTO, CA (April 10, 2007)—May 1 through October 31, come to the Downtown Sacramento Certified Farmers’ Markets, and select the finest fruits, vegetables, baked goods, flowers, herbs, and cheeses. Come and support local growers, and enjoy the metropolitan atmosphere of Downtown Sacramento.

Downtown Farmers Markets | 10 am- 2pm
Tuesdays: Roosevelt Park 10th & P streets | Fremont Park 15th & P streets
Wednesday: Cesar Chavez Plaza 10th & J streets
Thursday: Downtown Plaza 4th & K streets

The markets offer patrons a chance to come face to face with their food source. The Farmers’ Markets are a wonderful break from the ordinary grocery store. They offer the freshest California grown seasonal favorites from asparagus in the spring to apples in the fall.

“You get to buy directly from the grower, and only fresh, vine ripened fruits and vegetables will be offered to customers,” said Dan Best coordinator for Certified Farmers’ Markets. “Customers don’t have to wonder where the food comes from anymore, because now they have the chance to meet and greet the local growers.”

From business professionals to students, the Farmers’ Markets offer a great chance to get outside and enjoy fresh locally grown produce. “You get a chance to get out of the four walls and fluorescent lights of your cubicle, and get out in the sun,” said Best.
