Fresno's Farmers' Markets--HELP!
I have no shame(well, not much, anyway...). I'm looking for information on all of the various Farmers' Markets in town. I know about the ones at Shaw/Blackstone, Kaiser, Champlaine/Perrin, Clovis, downtown (across from Tokyo Garden) and the one next to Lauck's Bakery in the Tower District. Are there any more?
I am also looking for CONTACT INFORMATION for the one downtown and the one in the Tower ---and any other market I may not be aware of yet. And I sooooo need the information as soon as possible (like, NOW! Ha!)!!!!!
I've posted this as a blog...and then posted it under the HELP section (I'm new and don't know my way around here yet...) and am re-posting it here. Is THIS the place I should have posted it in the first place? I don't know (and I apologize for posting it sooooo many times.) Hmmm...
Anyway, THANK YOU so much for your help!
Have a freakalicious day!
Farmers Markets
The Tower Farmers Produce Market is no more than a swap meet for imported produce. There is no Produce from local Farmers there. It is just a sham with a popular name.

Farmers market at Fashion Fair?
A few weeks ago (I can't remember when exactly), I read an item in the Bee that the Farmers Market which used to meet at River Park "will be meeting at Fashion Fair in the parking lot north of Gottschalk's on Tuesdays" (from 3 to 6 p.m., I believe), but no starting date was given. Does anyone know any more about it? Thanks!
Farmer's Markets
The Wednesday's Frersno Bee Food section lists markets from throughout the valley, but only as space permits. Now that we are in the heavy farmers market season more and more are popping up in a shopping center near you!
From todays Fresno Bee's Food Calendar:
Giovanni's Salumeria and Italian Marketplace
11am to 7PM - Fridays - 3064 N. Bullard - 449-9800
Little Italy Farmers Market
5-8 Pm Thursdays - Champlain & Perrin - 439-8389
River Park Farmers Market
5-9PM Tuesdays - 439-8389
Tower Farmers Produce Market
8am-3PM Weds, Friday & Saturday -227-8026
I think the Tower market is run by the same folks as the downtown market and the one in front of Target at Shields and Fresno. I'm not really sure if that one (Target) is still operating.
The Bee also lists markets in Visalia , Kingsburg and Lemoore.
I hope this has been helpful and know your grower!
