Are you looking for something exciting to do on Wednesday afternoons? Well grab a few reusable bags and join your neighbors at the Fillmore Community Farmer’s Market. There, you can enjoy the fresh air, scented with basil and other herbs while shopping for your weekly groceries. At the market, you can find everything from sweet honey to healthy veggies.

One unique activity people can do at the farmer’s market is build their own beautiful bouquet of fragrant roses and lavender from Otto and Sons Nursery. You can choose eight blooms for the reasonable price of $3 and add some lavender for a bouquet that lasts all week. Otto and Sons is a family run business. In 1976, Otto and Jeanne Klittich started the nursery in Fillmore after owning a landscaping business in Southern California for 22 years. In 1985 Otto and Jeanne’s son Scott Klittich began managing the nursery. In 1989, they started growing roses which now account for about half of their sales. Today, Scott’s wife Cindy along with their three sons Danny, Andy and Timmy can be found helping with the daily routine of managing the 22 acre nursery. As well as over 800 varieties of vibrant roses, they also grow and sell 120,000 different plants, trees and bushes. At their stand, you can purchase lavender, apple trees, blueberries and roses. Cindy and youngest son Timmy can be found at the farmer’s market answering questions and having friendly conversations with people from the community. In the fall, Cindy expects to bring figs, guavas, more apple trees and of course roses to the farmer’s market. Cindy enjoys selling at the market because she loves to see and talk with the nice citizens of our community. Fillmore Community Farmer’s Market is the only market the nursery attends. Otto and Sons Nursery is located at 1835 E. Guiberson Rd. in Fillmore. Spring and Summer hours are Wednesday-Saturday from 8am-5pm at which time the public is welcome to wander the grounds while choosing their roses and plants. Fillmore Community Farmer’s Market is privileged to have Otto and Sons Nursery as a part of their market. The weekly farmer’s market is from 3:30-7pm every Wednesday located down town Fillmore on Central Avenue and Main Street.
