It is time to celebrate Dad and you can do it up right by picking up everything you need for your Father’s Day celebrations at the Farmers Market! And, while you’re at it, don’t forget to celebrate our newly-declared federal holiday, Juneteenth! Whether it is meat for the grill from Harmony Hill, Hog Haven, or the Fermented Pig, salad (or fruit salad) components from Twin Springs, Barajas, Linda Vista, or Kuhn Orchards, or sweet treats from Ana’s Twist, Baguette Republic, For the Love of Goodies, or J’aime Madeleine, the Market has you covered. Or, bypass all the hunting and gathering and just order up the whole feast from Old Blue BBQ or Ozfeka and call it done! Show Dad some love at Barrett Elementary School on Saturday, June 19, from 8 a.m. to noon. And don’t forget your pre-orders for Saturday pickup! We’ll see you at the Market!
