   Are you still accepting surveys? We would love a Farmer’s Market here in Turlock, and want to support it in any way that we can!

   I am interested in participating as a vendor in Turlock farmer’s market. Fruits/vegetables in season, ornamental plants and honey.
   Please let me know if you are taking applications and, if so, how to get started.

   Thanks,

     Thanks for your interest, when applications are ready I will make sure you receive one!

     A few questions for you Jerry:

     Where is your farm located?
     Is your farm conventional or organic?
     Are you interested in being listed here on Local Choices?

     Please tell our Local Choices followers more detail!

   Thanks. We will look forward to getting that application.

   Our farm is located a few miles east of Waterford. We are not certified organic or anything like that, but we do not use pesticides on our vegetables, and only spray our fruit trees for fungus control in the dormant season. We have boarded horses for many years, but are also dedicated gardeners who increasingly find ourselves with more produce than we can comfortably consume or preserve ourselves. Hence our interest in the farmer’s market.

   We believe the best, most nutritious food is food grown locally and that the best local food is that grown as naturally and organically as possible.
   Our vegetables will be almost exclusively heirloom varieties this Spring and we will also be offering pure honey from our bee hives.

   It’s hard to believe there is no farmer’s market in whole Turlock

   Hello! I just moved to Turlock and would love to get involved in the new Farmer’s Market in some way! I am changing careers and want to learn everything I can in regards to organic farming. Would you let me know if there are any opportunities with the market itself or any participating farmers? Thank you for your time, but more importantly, thank you for creating a healthy alternative for the community.

   Sincerely,
   Andrea
