Sutter Davis Hospital Farmers Market
The Sutter Davis Hospital Farmers Market is back – with precautions in place to protect the health and safety of its vendors and shoppers. The market is open from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Thursdays through Oct. 29.
Hospital and farmers market leaders worked together to develop a plan that accommodates about seven vendors and includes the same precautions that have worked for the Wednesday and Saturday markets in downtown Davis: requiring face coverings to attend the market, social distancing of vendors, sidewalk markings to help with social distancing of shoppers, and hand hygiene stations. Sellers wear gloves and masks, and typically select the produce for the customer.
Vendors include Ahmad Farms with peaches, nectarines, apricots and plums; Chavez Farms with strawberries, eggs, cherry tomatoes and vegetables; Gotelli Farms with cherries; PURE Honey with assorted local varietals, caramel honey and flavored honeys; Nature’s Candy with almonds, pecans and dried fruit; Yanez Farms with veggies, potatoes, onions, garlic, strawberries and carrots; Upper Crust Baking Co., with breads and cookies; Kathmandu Kitchen with hot Indian foods, including vegan choices; and the Buckhorn food truck with tri-tip sandwiches. Starting July 2, Purple Tree Café will bring granola and vegan baked goods.
Certified Farmers Markets contribute to community food security. The hospital’s market accepts EBT cards, WIC and Senior coupons. Shoppers with no cash on hand may purchase Market Dollars using debit or credit cards.
