Market celebrates 22 years; great place for breakfast, brunch or lunch with variety of tamales, tacos, quiche, breakfast muffins, samosas, grass-fed burgers, baked goods and fresh brewed coffee; College appears to host nothing similar outside Prescott Campus
Every Saturday morning from 7:30 AM – 12:00 PM MST you will find the Prescott Campus alive with residents enjoying a visit to the Prescott Summer Farmers Market. The event is held in the Yavapai Community College Parking Lot D on the Campus. The event will run every Saturday until October 26.
The market is a PFM producer-only farmers market, meaning every item sold is either grown or produced by the seller using Arizona-grown ingredients. Each week at the market, customers can find a variety of fresh vegetables, fruits, flowers, baked goods, eggs, nuts, grass-fed beef, pork and poultry. Local farmers grow a variety of vegetables throughout the season, including leeks, potatoes, beets, radishes, carrots, salad mix, squash, peppers, tomatoes, cucumbers, and melons.
Customers can swipe their SNAP/EBT, debit or credit cards to receive tokens at the information booth. The Double Up Food Bucks Arizona program allows customers to double their SNAP benefits at the market, up to $20 per market visit. All vendors always accept cash.
The market brings hundreds of persons to the Community College Campus each weekend. A nice subtle public relations marketing touch for the Community College. Some persons on the east side of the County have urged the Community College to begin to utilize existing, or create new open space, on the Verde Campus for similar types of events.
