Buellton’s Successful Farmers Market Has A New Time Slot For Warm Seasons

BUELLTON, Calif. (KEYT) - The city of Buellton’s Farmer’s Market had a very strong start for its first month.

It could be sticking around for a long time.

Buellton’s one-month-old farmers market just received a new schedule, right on time for the warmer seasons.

“I have more people coming,” says event organizer Brenda Browning. “So this will all be completely full in the in the next month. There won't be any open spaces.”

Each Monday along Avenue Of The Flags, the Farmers Market will set up from 3 to 7pm, taking advantage of longer daylight hours for spring and summer.

“We don't have a lot of things to do around here,” say Erely & Emily Palacios, who live in Buellton. “So I think it makes it more like fun. We usually come here on Mondays and I just get coffee and our matcha.”

City leaders have hinted that if the event continues to be as successful as it has been in the first few weeks, it will most likely be sticking around.

“We have some organic farmers that are local here in Buellton that are coming,” says Browning. “So, we'll have more and more. We just got a new knife sharpening guy. We've got someone here, she won Cupcake Wars on TV, and she's here. She's new this week.”

Event organizers say one of their favorite things to see each week -- in addition to the fresh food and artisan vendors -- are the kids enjoying the bounce houses.

“I really wanted this market to be family friendly,” says Browning. “This is for families. So I wanted to bring something to this community that was for families to come to. I feel like this community is up and coming, and they need more things to do here.”

The popular and convenient location right off the 101 freeway exit puts Buellton on the map in whole new way.
