Fillmore will be hosting its very own Farmers’ Market this Friday, September 3rd, from 3-7pm. The market will be located on Main Street and Central Ave.

Over 50% of the participating farmers are from Fillmore or nearby surrounding areas (such as Piru). Both local merchants, residents and participating farmers are very excited about the start of this market. The Farmers’ Market will not only help bring more foot traffic to Central Ave., it will also support the growing “green” movement to shop and eat local. Shopping local means less gas, and supporting local growers, which is a win win for everybody. The first market will boast 10-12 vendors selling tomatoes, cucumbers, squash, melons, stone fruit (nectarines, peaches), honey, apples, berries, baked goods, flowers, nursery plants, and eggs.

The market will be rain or shine. Bring a blanket and have a picnic with the family on City Hall Park. And stay until dusk to watch a screening of “Horton Hears a Who.” Fillmore Fridays is just getting better.
