Market Update for April 18th
From Field to Fridge
Experience the true taste of the season this Saturday, April 18th! At our weekly market, you’ll find fresh produce that was harvested just hours before it reaches your hands. Because our fruits and vegetables come directly from the fields rather than sitting in long supply chains, they arrive with peak flavor and a much longer shelf life for your kitchen — meaning less waste and more value for every dollar spent.
Shopping with us does more than stock your pantry with the best produce around; it directly sustains our local growers and provides vital funding for compassionate bereavement care for families throughout our community.
FEATURED VENDORS OF THE WEEK
Looking for fresh berries this week? Chuy’s Berries is founded and run by a local farmer who has been growing delicious blackberries, blueberries, raspberries, and strawberries for more than 15 years in the beautiful Arroyo Grande/Pismo Beach area.
Chuy takes pride in using neem oil instead of harmful pesticides, keeping his berries fresh and natural for you to enjoy. But that’s not all! He also has chickens and sells their farm-fresh eggs.
Stop by, say hello to Chuy, and pick up some of his pesticide-free berries and eggs. He’s always happy to chat and share his farming story!
La Montagne des Saveurs is the delicious dream of Joy and Damien Campomar, who began their cheese journey in the charming town of Avignon, France. What started as a love for local cheeses grew into a passion for crafting their own.
Today, they create and age their cheeses in traditional caves, using fresh farmers’ milk from different regions of France. Stop by for a taste and take home a little piece of France!
Why leave family at home? Bring your children to the market, and they can participate in a scavenger hunt for our Market Mascot, Mark-ado (made by Michelle Cronk of Little This That Gifts)!
Our little mascot hangs out at a different vendor’s booth each week. When you spot him, stop by the Market Tent to let us know — we’ll have fun reward stickers waiting!

NONPROFIT OF THE WEEK
Livingston Memorial Visiting Nurse Association will be joining us this Saturday to talk about their upcoming Garden Tour!
Now celebrating its 28th year, the Garden Tour – created and still run by a passionate team of volunteers – is one of Camarillo’s signature events. Explore four stunning local gardens, shop in a delightful boutique, try your luck at a raffle with amazing prizes, enjoy live music, and savor delicious refreshments on this unforgettable afternoon.
Best of all, every dollar raised goes directly to supporting our most vulnerable neighbors
who are facing life-limiting illnesses or mourning the loss of a loved one.
