The market is on San Benito Street, between Fourth and Seventh Streets. So, from around noon to 8 p.m or so, you'll need to find another way through Downtown Hollister. Truly no big deal for fresh vegetables, fruit, and meats; or for baked goods, prepared food, prepackaged foods, and food cooked on the spot; or for such other items as fresh flowers, plants, clothing, jewelry, and crafts. There are also information booths for products, businesses, and nonprofit groups.
The farmers market again features live music from local talents as well as culinary demonstrations. New this year is the First Wednesday Art Nights, hosted by the San Benito County Arts Council. In the works is wine tasting, also on the first Wednesday of the month.
For more information about the Hollister Certified Farmers' Market, check out its webpage at the Downtown Hollister Association or the market's Facebook page.

thAt looks like a wonderful market. I love shopping at those...and you live in a great area for produce.
ReplyDeleteWhen we moved down here about 12 years ago, there was no place to purchase fresh organic produce, which was so ironic. Our options have increased over the years, thankfully.
DeleteThe farmer's markets here (Mississippi) are just beginning to open for this year, too. Local grown fruits and veggies, cut flower bouquets, fresh baked bread, cakes, and pies, pickles, relishes, jams, and jellies - Its wonderful!
ReplyDeleteHave a great day!

I love visiting farmers' markets in different cities to see what kind of produce and goods are local to the area.

ReplyDeleteEvery town needs a farmer's market of local food and wares. Shop Local!
Totally!
DeleteWonderful place to go to, where you find food and other fun items.
ReplyDeleteI used to have a shop in a Farmer's Market many moons ago.
I like your photos of this nice place.
Have a Beautiful Day!
Peace :)
Thank you, Chandra. :-)
DeleteOur market just opened too, but there was a winter market held downtown in the community resource center. No fresh veggies, but breads, jams, etc. - Margy
ReplyDeleteOpen markets are fun to shop at. A luxury for me would be to live in an area where I could shop everyday at an open market for fresh ingredients for a day's meals.
DeleteLooks like fun! We have one in our local town that I (unfortunately) don't get to as often as I would like!
ReplyDeleteSome residents who commute out of town for work have expressed that our farmers' market should be open on a Saturday or Sunday. Unfortunately, our area is too small to compete for farmers, including local ones, who sell at farmers markets in large populated cities.
DeleteThat is a nice market. There is something for everyone.
ReplyDeleteIt is quite a balanced market. I didn't realize how much so until I wrote the post.
DeleteEVerything looks wonderful!
ReplyDeleteIf I had a van, I would've loved to have bought a pot of the flowers. I liked how the branch of blossoms curved.
DeleteVery nice!
ReplyDeleteI love farmer's market. I wish they have them everyday instead of just once a week. I always bring home way more than I should.
ReplyDeleteWhen I lived near San Francisco I could find a farmers' market to visit every day but Monday within a 30 mile radius. I got spoiled.
DeleteGreat place to shop!
ReplyDeleteOne of the best ways for me to shop for fresh produce.
DeleteFarmer's Markets - a great way to spend the day. We have many here in SWFL - great finds.
ReplyDeleteFor me, there's a satisfaction of being able to buy directly from the farmers and other food producers.
Deletelove that summer dress.
ReplyDeleteI like the green one. :-)
DeleteI love a good farmers' market. Those dresses look pretty.
ReplyDeleteI might just buy that green dress yet.
