Lots of the regions farmer’s markets end their season in October, but not all of them! There are still two options for eating locally and supporting your local small farmers and crafters by shopping at a farmers’ market.

The Farmer’s Markets still available this fall and winter are:

• In Chico, from 7:30AM-1PM Saturdays on Wall and E 2nd Streets. It is the only certified Farmers’ Market open year-round in our region. A wide selection of diverse fruits and vegetables can be grown in Butte County. This is a quality farmer’s market, worth the trip if you live within 40 miles. NorthValley.net
• Another good option for those who live further northwest is the Saturday morning Redding market on Cypress and Akard, by City Hall and the Public Library. This market remains open until December 15th. Also a great event, this market is a great option to get involved in the community and support the local economy by buying from small farmers, crafters, and food vendors.
