The Turtle Bay Farmers' Market (TBFM) is run by healthyshasta.org, and is a certified farmers' market--"certified" meaning that the CA Department of Agriculture has inspected the farms to ensure the produce being sold at the markets is CA grown. This is a tiny market that had only five unimpressive stands (×2 fruit; ×1 tamale; ×1 eggs; & ×1 clothing/jewelry) on the day I visited. Here are some quick facts:
-All the stands accept EBT (aka food stamps)
-Located in the Sun Dial Bridge parking lot, in the Turtle Bay Exploration Park.
-Runs on Sundays only from June 8th - October 19th, 2014 from 8 a.m. - 12 p.m.
Check the Healthy Shasta website for the 2015 schedule, but I reckon it'll be similar.
I was not impressed with the TBFM, and it should be a 2-star review. However, to be fair, I caught them at the end of their season, so I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and bump it up to 3-stars. Eat fresh! read more
