A customer makes a selection at a previous Downtown Manteca Certified Farmers market.
Looking for a midweek respite from your usual evening routine?Then you might want to consider dropping by the Downtown Manteca Certified Farmers Market on Tuesdays from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. at Library Park.There are larger farmers markets. There are Saturday farmers markets such as the one in Pleasanton that is wedded with a destination-style downtown complete with plenty of outdoor dining to combine breakfast or lunch plus specialty stores with shopping for fresh produce and bakery goods.But when it comes to the ability to kick back with your family and friends the Manteca market is in a league of its own.It starts with a true park setting. Stately sycamore trees provide shade while cooling Delta winds rustle leaves and chase away the day’s heat.It is the only outdoor farmers market in the Northern San Joaquin Valley - and most of the Bay Area - where the vendors are almost all under a canopy of mature shade making the shopping experience even more enjoyable.There are always a dozen or so farmers as well as fresh -baked goods vendors to address the primary reason for stopping by the market.Other vendors run the gamut from ready-to-eat food booths to clothing and crafts to non-profits offering information.The booths can be found lining Manteca Avenue as well as in the park.
