If you are missing fresh eggs and produce directly from the growers, you will be glad to hear that are TWO farmers markets are coming to downtown Fullerton this week. A certified farmers market means that you are buying directly from the grower, their team or a partnered certified farm, so everything is fresh-picked from farm to consumer – no warehousing, no middleman. You will only find produce that is grown on their or their partners’ specific farm and only what is in season. Social distancing standards (patrons keeping 6 feet apart) will be observed. Growers will wear gloves and will be using appropriate sanitizers. Produce will be available pre-bagged and there will be not be the normal tasting and cut samples.
