Fresh vegetables and fruits, not to mention delicious crepes and jams, will now be available year-round as the popular Orinda Farmers’ Market expands its former April to November schedule.
The City Council on Jan. 7 entered into a three-year contract with Contra Costa Certified Farmers’ Market (CCCFM) to operate the Farmers’ Market 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Saturday from April 4 to March 25, 2023 at its usual location on Orinda Way. According to the contract, CCCFM will provide a minimum of 20 certified growers to be vendors. The maximum capacity of vendors will be determined by the city.
“The city is very pleased to have the Farmer’s Market become a year-round activity in Orinda. In addition to the fresh produce and specialty foods, many of our residents enjoy the market atmosphere and neighborhood connection. We appreciate the many vendors that come to Orinda and add to our community,” says Orinda Mayor Darlene Gee.
