Certified Farmers' Market

You're asking, we're answering! All 3 outdoor locations of our Certified Farmers' Markets are considered "essential services" (we couldn't agree more) - and as such we will continue offering our fresh produce and top quality prepared foods same times, same places. The difference, starting Wednesday in Palm Desert, is that we'll return to the higher-level modified protocols we used in the springtime - boundaries around the Market border, a single point of entry/exit and limit...ed customer population. We take the safety of our farmers, vendors and customers as a sacred duty. We know you trust us to protect you while you buy the supplies you need. As a result, at times there might be a bit of a delay to get in, but we know you understand it's worth the wait! 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., Weds (PD) Sat (PS ) Sun (LQ). www.certifiedfarmersmarkets.org

The time you've all been waiting for has arrived...the man, the legend - Fred Estrada from L'Artisan Valley Baking Co. has returned to the Certified Farmers' Markets. Starting today, your dreams of flaky perfection can be realized. Croissants, baguettes, levain sourdough...it's all here. PS, LQ and PD...carb it up! 8:00 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. www.certifiedfarmersmarkets.org
