The Buena Park Certified Farmer's Market is located at the parking lot of Sears in Buena Park, California. It is open only on Saturdays from 9 am to 2 pm. At the height of the pandemic, this was closed, but we heard in February 2022 that it will soon re-open.
One weekend we went to check it out and indeed they are back in business.
It was a sunny day, but we still opted to shop here instead of in the comfort of airconditioned big grocery stores. This is to show our support, (no matter how small) to our local farmers. And get a dose too of sunshine vitamin to strengthen our bones.
Fresh Produce
The fruits and vegetables are farms fresh. Owners of the stand or the vendors picked them up on the morning they are sold. Those at the grocery stores, on the other hand, are generally several days old even before they reach the produce aisle as they have to be put in delivery trucks.
Look at the vivid colors of the vegetables, they are a reflection of the freshness and the nutrients they contain.
Other Food Items
In addition to the fresh produce, there are various kinds of food. Nuts, bread, popcorn, and many more.
Miscellaneous Items
It wasn't only a Farmers Market after all. Here is the variety of items on the stalls.
Oh, and there's also a singer for entertainment. You can drop a dollar or two if you like her singing.
