LAKE COUNTY, Calif. – Lake County Farmers’ Finest will open its seasonal market season on Saturday, May 2.
Market manager Cornelia Sieber-Davis said she has worked with local health officials and implemented rules at their request to ensure safety at the annual markets.
Sieber-Davis said the markets will take place rain or shine through Oct. 31 from 11 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays in a field across Argonaut Road next to Steele Wines, 4350 Thomas Drive in Kelseyville.
No markets are yet set to return to Library Park in Lakeport, which the city of Lakeport said remains closed to the public.
To start, Sieber-Davis said vendors will include farmers only.
Offerings confirmed so far include stone fruit, organic vegetables, plant starts, honey, olive oil, eggs and jam, she said.
“We are not allowed crafts, music and food to go – yet,” Sieber-Davis said.
Sieber-Davis said she is now working on a preorder system on the Lake County Farmers’ Finest website.
The new market season will kick off with a poetry contest, led by new Lake County Poet Laureate Georgina Marie Guardado.
