Are You Ready for the Benicia Farmers Market?

The warm weather is creeping in, which means the Benicia Certified Farmers Market is right around the corner. 

The first market will be on Thursday, April 25, and it will run once a week from 4-8 p.m. through late October.

Here's more information from the event organizers: 

Located on First Street between B and D Streets, the market offers farm fresh produce and fresh cut flowers along with arts and crafts vendors, specialty foods, baked goods, and numerous gourmet food vendors. Children can enjoy activities like face painting and the inflatable bounce house on the First Street Green.

Averaging 3,000 people at the market, many farmers’ market faithfuls come weekly to socialize with neighbors, enjoy great music from local talent, and experience the bounty of California-grown fruits and vegetables. In fact, faithful goers can take advantage of the “Frequent Shopper Card” program.  The Frequent Shopper Card can be picked up at Benicia Main Street’s booth.  After eight hole punches, frequent shoppers get a free bag of the “Produce of the Week.”

A list of participating vendors will be provided on Benicia Main Street’s website closer to opening day: www.BeniciaMainStreet.org.  For more information on Benicia Certified Farmers’ Market, contact Benicia Main Street at 707-745-9791 orinfo@beniciamainstreeet.org.
