Grossmont Center Announces New Certified Farmers Market and Partnership with La Mesa Park and Recreation Foundation
Grossmont Center Certified Farmers Market features farm fresh produce every Wednesday from 2:00-6:00pm starting July 24, 2019. A portion of the market's proceeds will benefit the La Mesa Park and Recreation Foundation
LA MESA, Calif., June 24, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Grossmont Center is proud to announce that it will host the Grossmont Center Certified Farmers Market, starting July 24th. From 2 to 6 p.m. every Wednesday, visitors can enjoy fresh produce straight from the farm and support local San Diego farmers.
Rain or shine, the Grossmont Center Certified Farmers Market will offer local fruits and vegetables that are in-season and live entertainment every Wednesday. Shoppers can also subscribe to a Community Supported Agriculture program and pick up their weekly CSA box.
During the first month of the Grossmont Center Certified Farmers Market, the Center will be giving out FREE reusable bags to the first 100 attendees, on a first come first serve basis. Reusable bags keep produce secure and protect the environment.
Farmers Market Partnership with La Mesa Park and Recreation Foundation
The Grossmont Center Certified Farmers Market will donate part of the proceeds to the La Mesa Park and Recreation Foundation. "We partnered with La Mesa Park and Recreation Foundation to share the love of the beautiful parks in La Mesa with the people who enjoy them. We plan on growing this farmers market by offering a variety of entertainment." The 8% vendor fee will provide a lower cost of involvement than other markets in the area, attracting a plethora of farmers from around San Diego County.
The abundance of free parking at Grossmont Center is convenient for both farmers and market goers. Farmers will be able to sell directly from their trucks and customers can park in the nearby Target Parking Garage, located directly adjacent to the market. Interested farmers can email Trevor if they want to participate in this market, trevor(at)grossmontcenter.com.
Grossmont Center is also a huge proponent of shopping local—and shopping local is what farmers markets are all about. If you are looking for more than produce, you can find artisanal flavors and goods, at Grossmont Center's Shop Local Market on the last Saturday of every month.
