Antioch CA — It’s here! The new Farmers’ Market in Antioch, in the middle of the Rivertown district downtown, opens Sunday, June 22, 9am-1pm. Conveniently located in the parking lot at the corner of I Street and 3rd Street, the market will host plenty of free nearby parking in several public lots within 2 blocks of the market.

Farm fresh eggs, Asian vegetables, freshly baked breads and pastries from Little Sky Bakery are sure to be a hit.

“Our farm is thrilled to have a farmers’ market in Antioch every Sunday, opening just in time for our first pick of the sweet corn in Brentwood. Picked in the morning, we will bring a truck loaded to the brim” says Glenn Stonebarger of G&S Farms.
