Great coverage of the local farmers market scene from the Santa Clarita Valley Signal. And hats off to our friends at the Santa Clarita Certified Farmers' Market who bring real farm-direct produce to Santa Clarita along with us. We keep on growing and have even more exciting things coming to Newhall in the coming weeks. https://signalscv.com//farm-to-table-in-newhall-and-vale/

We still are open for 1 hour! Come on out and grab some lunch. The Pi On Sunset truck is here with they're made from scratch Mediterranean food. It's absolutely amazing. Here in the parking lot of the Old Town Newhall library.

Good morning Santa Clarita! We are getting set up and ready to open. Beautiful seedless Clementine tangerines. Direct from the farm in Clovis from Verni and Halaby Farms. Seedless and super sweet. We open at 8:30. There are so many beautiful things coming in today. Come on out and see us.

All this and more tomorrow in the parking lot of the Old Town Newhall Library from 8:30 until 1pm. (Note: some pics taken pre-COVID)

We are open this Saturday! We went through all of our 2020 market pics and chose our own top 9 photos from the year. It's been an interesting year. We have welcomed many great new additions to the market this year. Our market has grown tremendously and we have plenty of exciting things in store for 2021. We've had many challenges but want to thank all of our farmers and food artisans for always bringing their 'A-game' to the market each week. And, we could not have done it without the support of all of our wonderful customers. Thank you for supporting real farm-direct agriculture and high quality prepared foods! We promise to continue to bring you the best and wish everyone a Happy New Year!

Our market and Halloween are both this Saturday. We have invited our farmers and food artisans to be in costume and we hope you will too, kids especially (note: picture is from last year)! We will also have treats to pass out to all the kids (adults too) that come out. So have a little fun this Saturday while shopping for the best fruits, vegetables, meats, eggs, flowers, seafood and artisan food goods. We are sad we have to skip holding a big event this year but we still hope to have a little fun this Saturday. See us from 8:30 until 1pm in the parking lot of the Old Town Newhall library.

It's warmed up and beautiful out. We are here till 1 pm. Gorgeous sweet winter strawberries from Gutierrez Farm's, fresh in fingerling potatoes from Lehmann Farms, flowers are gorgeous today from Patty Farms and don't miss the beautiful cornflower tea from Village Organic Herbals which is great for sleep.

Brussel sprouts still on the stalk and grown by these two ladies in Nipomo. Fresh young eggplant and very unique white Hungarian squash. Our produce just can't be beat and you won't find anything this unique or fresh in Santa Clarita. we are now open and we are here until 1 p.m. in the parking lot of the Old Town Newhall Library.

It's a beautiful cool morning here today!

Good morning Santa Clarita! We are getting set up and ready to open. We love the smell of fresh bread in the morning. The bakers from Little's Loaves & Boole's are here with their new brioche hamburger buns. We have everything here in the market to make the burger of your dreams, from pasture-raised grass-fed beef to all of the toppings you can think of including dairy direct cheese. We open at 8:30 here in the parking lot of the Old Town Newhall Library. Come on down and see us.

Pumpkins! Yes, the market is tomorrow and we will have plenty of farm-direct pumpkins. But if you are looking for ordinary plain pumpkins, look elsewhere. There are over 100 different pumpkin varieties such as Green Goblin, Cinderella, Fairytale and Blue Jarrahdale. These are true beauties and we will have a nice selection tomorrow. While many of these are great for carving or decoration, all of them are edible. In fact, they are very tasty. We like to use them both ways. We... have our uncarved pumpkins out for decoration. Then, before Thanksgiving, we cut them open. After cleaning and baking we scoop out the pulp and make the most amazing pumpkin pie. Did you know that most canned pumpkin is not really pumpkin? Canned pumpkin is often completely or partially butternut squash. Cooking a real pumpkin for holiday cooking or baking is super easy. We will post a how-to video in the coming weeks so you can serve up real pumpkin pie this year. Grab your pumpkins tomorrow and get ready for the holidays! The market is from 8:30 until 1pm in the parking lot of the Old Town Newhall library.

This Saturday, our second collaboration this week is the Date Night Package from @Buono Italian Eatery. The pack comes with an order of their hand made ravioli, a jar of sauce, a loaf of focaccia bread from @Little's Loaves and Boole's and a shareable small pumpkin pie. The package also includes a pumpkin/caramel candle. How cool is this? The date night package is $55. Pickup tomorrow at the market under the Buono canopy. The market is open 8:30 until 1pm in the parking lot of the Old Town Newhall library.

It's a market collaboration! This Saturday, Bake Up and the Hoff-Mor Canning Company have joined forces to bring us this chocolate pear tart. The tart and jam used in the tart are made with fresh pears from Bloom Ranch of Acton. The jam and tart will be available tomorrow and for the month of November at the market. Quantities are limited. We are open every Saturday, rain or shine, from 8:30 until 1pm in the parking lot of the Old Town Newhall library.

Planning a smaller get together this year? If a whole turkey is too big, Harvest Gathering Farm has you covered. You can pre-order turkey breasts, legs, thighs, wings, sausage and even gravy. Quantities are limited and deposits must be placed via their website at https://harvestgatheringfarm.com/. Pickup and final payment will take place at the market the Saturday prior to Thanksgiving. And, if you want a medium or large turkey, there are just a handful still available. All o...f this will sell out. Rancher/owner Wendy is very proud of their slow growing Black Spanish heritage breed turkeys. The birds are pasture raised in the hills of Ojai. They are given plenty of room to forage for food and are also fed leftover veggies/fruits from farmers markets and when needed their diet is supplemented with feed that is free from GMOs/Corn/Soy. We can testify that their turkey has been the centerpiece of our Thanksgiving celebration since they came to our market two years ago. We have never had a turkey that even comes close to the quality and taste that their does. It is simply amazing and is truly something special. Pre-order today before it is too late. We look forward to seeing everyone at the market this Saturday.

Happy Wednesday! We are out supporting our fellow Old Town Newhall businesses and especially Barn and Charm where a recent accident resulted in a truck crashing into the front of the store. Visit them Saturdays when you come out to the market. Next week, Egg Plantation is serving up a special breakfast to help repair damages and losses at Barn and Charm. Thank you for shopping local and supporting small businesses.

It's 3 in 3! Three random market products talked about in under 3 minutes and posted 3 days prior to the market. This week we talk about the award winning tamales from Me Gusta Gourmet Tamales. Candy Cane beets from Arreola Farms add pizzaz to your meal and have many uses. Finally, special guest Ninos from West Coast Seafood Inc. talks about their fresh wild caught swordfish from Fiji. Find out how best to cook this wonderful fish. Our market is Saturday from 8:30 until 1pm, rain or shine, in the parking lot of the Old Town Newhall library.

It's California Farm and Farmworker Month! This week, we celebrate Dino Verni and farm-worker Nick from Verni and Halaby Farms. In 1923, the Verni Family began growing olives and making olive oil in the Italian Village of Sannicandro di Bari. In 1980, The Verni family brought their cold pressing equipment to Clovis, California where they continued the family business. Today, they produce some of the finest cold-pressed extra virgin olive oil in the state. They control the e...ntire process from growing, curing, pressing and bottling their oil. Our customers love their olive oil and also their almonds, walnuts, apples, cherries, figs, oranges and other products. You will find them and all of our other farmers every Saturday, rain or shine, in the parking lot of the Old Town Newhall Library from 8:30 until 1pm. Thank you for shopping local and supporting small family farms! #supportlocal #supportsmallbusiness #californiagrown #cagrown
