Davis Farmers Market holds 50th anniversary celebration Saturday

Frerichs said as a lifelong resident of Davis, the farmer’s market is more than your typical supermarket — it’s a hub for sharing ideas and creating the unique culture of community.

“Like many of you, this is not just merely a place to come and buy some of the best produce in the world. Fundamentally, it’s been a gathering place to reconnect with old friends and meet new ones,” he said. “There’s no question that the Davis Farmers Market serves as the heartbeat of this community.”
