The market is located at 1005 North Railroad Avenue. Come meet old friends, visit with farmers, discover what's growing freshly picked from the fields and shop for delicious fruits and vegetables.

Children will be able to select a book from our free Kids’ Book Exchange. The 2013 Market postcard is available and look for free bilingual recipe cards at the market stalls that give ideas how to prepare some of the tasty produce. New recipe cards will appear throughout the season; make a collection. You can stroll in our wildflower garden or wander behind the plaza to see what is growing in the community fields.
