farmers' markets



"In this society today, sometimes it's hard to make regular meals, healthy meals, a part of everyone's existence...And this is one of the reasons why I'm so supportive of farmers' markets. For those of us who are battling the time crunch and those of us [to] whom access to fresh food is an issue in our neighborhoods, farmers' markets are a really important, valuable resource that we have to support." 
~First Lady Michelle Obama

Each week Oakland Fresh School Produce Markets are held after school, on school sites.  Parents, children and volunteers sell fresh, pesticide-free produce, honey, eggs and other food items that are bought from local farmers.  Nutrition info and recipes are available.  There are tastings and periodic cooking demos as well.
Oakland Fresh School Produce Markets are open to the public.  EBT is accepted.   

Students can participate in the The Student Buyer Card Program at their school farmer's market.  Through this program students are able to buy or receive nutritious food, in an effort to encourage healthy eating.  (Teachers help facilitate
The Student Buyer Card Program.)
