Somersville Towne Center in Antioch will be the home of a Pacific Coast Farmers’ Market Association Certified Farmers’ Market beginning Sunday, June 6. The market will assemble Sundays through Nov. 21 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 2556 Somersville Road in the Sears parking lot.

“We’re excited about the addition of the Somersville Towne Center Farmers’ Market,” said PCFMA Director John Silviera. “The new market will provide the community with healthy produce options and live entertainment.”

Local farmers and other producers will bring their best spring and summer produce, such as strawberries, stonefruit, cherries, salad greens, Asian produce and later on in the season, terrific melons, tomatoes, peppers and corn, all locally grown and straight from the fields.

The market will also feature live music, featuring visiting bands to give each market week a special touch. Deja Blue will kick things off at the grand opening on Sunday.

The PCFMA is the state’s largest operator of Certified Farmers’ Markets, operating more than 60 markets weekly in the Bay Area during the peak summer months. Certified Farmers’ Markets are locations that offer only California-grown products sold directly to consumers by the farmers that grew, nurtured and harvested the crops. All PCFMA markets accept WIC FMNP (Woman Infant and Children Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program coupons) and EBT (the Golden State advantage food stamp cards).
