Atascadero Farmers Market operating with extended hours
–The Atascadero Farmers Market is now operating between 3 and 6 p.m. Wednesday afternoons at the Sunken Gardens. The hours extended to three hours because of the change back to Daylight Savings Time. With the expanded hours, growing numbers of farmers and other vendors are showing up at the Sunken Gardens.
Maeve Peterson, who is a Landscape Architecture Major at Cal Poly, makes hot tacos, burritos, and sandwiches at the Green Grocer booth. The Sonoma native says she buys 90-percent of her vegetables and other products from local farmers. Maeve buys bread from a baker who sells her baked goods at the Atascadero Farmers Market.
On Wednesday, April 7, the Atascadero Farmer’s Market will celebrate the fourth anniversary of its return to the Sunken Gardens. There will be music by the DuoTones, and other festivities to honor the anniversary.
