Jun. 30, 2009To say we are excited in Corona, CA about our new Farmers' Market is an understatement. After a lot of hard work by a lot of local people our dream of a Farmers' Market will be coming true. Beginning on July 11, 2009, Farmers’ Market Management Company, Inc., established over 30 years ago and known for its success in farming and managing certified farmers’ markets, will be bringing its farmers to Corona. It will be held on Saturdays, 8:30 am to 12:30 pm (rain or shine) Main Street Market Place (Main and Rincon). Mayor Steve Nolan said, “Our heritage is based on farming; it is a natural that we would finally have a certified farmers’ market to call our own.”
All produce available is locally grown by the farmers selling it and none is brokered. Some farmers will offer organic or certified organic fruits and vegetables.
In addition to the naturally ripened produce, fresh cut flowers and some simple food items such as kettle corn or BBQ beef will also be available. Local artisans will be selling handmade crafts.
Come join the fun and support this new effort. A big thank you for all who worked so hard to achieve this great market for Corona.
