January 12, 2022The Farmers Market in Newbury Park is a year round certified open-air market and a must visit for the locals. To quote the website, “The FPMF is a new statewide initiative aimed at improving the health and well-being of local residents by supporting local farmers and businesses”.
With a wide selection of produce, artisan cheeses, and meats, you’re sure to find something suited to your taste buds. And the best part is you can actually talk to the farmers and shop owners face to face. It’s also the perfect place to pick up a gift for a loved one.
Unlike many markets in the area, this one is family-friendly, so you can take your kids with you. Located off 101 Freeway, exit Borchard, the fabled farmers market is open Saturdays from 9am to 2pm. For more information, including a map of the route to and from the market.

The most enjoyable part because you can talk with the shop owners and farmers directly. It’s also the ideal location to purchase gifts for your loved one.

This popular location offers an assortment of fresh and local produce, pastries, and baked goods, and it’s open to the public every Sunday. In addition to fresh produce, the market offers a wide variety of crafts, gifts, and other specialty items, as well as a food court and free entertainment.

Buying at a farmer’s market can be a great way to support your local economy, as local produce is fresher than imported goods. And farmers’ markets often have live music. SNAP customers can also receive tokens that can be used to purchase food from the vendors at the market.
