Nevada City Farmers Market to start fall hours this Saturday

The Farmers Market will start at 9 a.m. beginning this Saturday.

To accommodate the shifting hours to include a lunch-time crowd, Summer Thymes Bakery and Deli will offer salads and sandwiches in addition to their famed cinnamon roles and other baked goods. For those who love to eat breakfast at the market, locally made pastries and made-to-order pancakes and crepes will still be available throughout the market season.

 The Nevada City Farmers Market will start and end one hour later each Saturday starting Sept. 12, which means the market will be open from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. rather than 8 a.m. to noon this Saturday.

The change benefits volunteers and vendors who would otherwise be arriving and setting up the market in the dark.  Each week, approximately 10 volunteers arrive about 2 hours before the market opens to set up the displays, entrance gate, tables and chairs, shade sails, mister system, music stage/tent, signs etc.

  Vendors arrive an hour before the opening bell rings to unload their vehicles and set up their beautiful displays of seasonal produce, locally made and environmentally friendly gifts, household items, and novelties.

The Nevada City Farmers Market takes place every Saturday on Union Street in downtown Nevada City through Oct. 31.  The final market on Halloween will feature costumes and a Jack-o-lantern making contest.  An end of the season Soup Night Celebration is being planned for October.
