Breaking News: Farmers Market Coming To Natomas!

THE NATOMAS BUZZ has confirmed a certified farmer’s market will open on August 14 in Natomas.

After months of negotiations with several property owners, including the Promenade shopping center, officials have secured the Inderkum High School parking lot for a Saturday-morning farmers’ market. Farmers are currently being recruited to sell their farm-fresh produce at the new market which will be held 9 a.m. to noon weekly.

“We already have a few really great farms that have committed and I am sure we will get some more to get this successfully started,” said Dan Best of Certified Farmers’ Markets of Sacramento.
Once the community shows support via their patronage, Best said more farmers will want to come to Natomas.  
“It will be helpful in our building process to have a strong showing right from the beginning and continuing up to the last day of the market,” he added.
If successful this season, the market would resume in May. Officials have not ruled out the possibility of a year-round farmers’ market in Natomas.
