Join us for Farmers' Market and More every Thursday. beginning May 31 through August 30 from 4 to 7:00 p.m. at Railroad Park.
It is shaping up to be quite a year for Main Street Tehachapi's annual summer event. The City of Tehachapi is overseeing the agricultural vendors and the community will enjoy several exciting additions to the market, such as the dramatically expanded produce selection and a fun kids' activity area with a petting zoo.
This year's market features a spectacular variety of products from many new and returning farms, including, Moessner Orchard, Tesch Family Farms, Keng Xiong, Murray Family Farms, Tangleweed Farm, Mountain Top Produce, Ken & Della's Produce, Partovi Ranch, JC's Berry Patch, Rangeland (Beef) and more throughout the season.
Shoppers will also have the opportunity to purchase items from local arts and crafts vendors as well as satisfy hungry family members by bringing home special treats for meals. Local favorite Kohnen's Bakery will have delicious hot bratwurst sandwiches for sale and if you didn't try one last year, now's your chance.
Most importantly, farmers markets are ideal for imaginative communities seeking to promote locally grown fresh produce and healthier lifestyles. The benefits of eating nutritious foods are numerous, as they are power-packed with natural vitamins and antioxidants.
Tehachapi is a distinct area ideally situated in and adjacent to agriculturally rich environments that produce top-quality food. Every fresh vegetable or fruit purchased at Tehachapi's Farmers' Market stabilizes the agricultural economy that is so unique to our location in the Central Valley.
Please support this fantastic seasonal opportunity. We look forward to seeing you every Thursday!
