Selling homemade jams, strawberries avocados and other seasonal produce
through the summer up to December, the farm market at Pierce Collage at
the corner of Victory and De soto, bring a touch of country into the
middle of our urban community. All the vegetable and fruits are grown
at this 2 year collage or brought in from farms that are in
Southern California, starting at Ventura County in the north
to
San Diego in the south.
Its nice to have a little agriculture in our community and we would be
allot healthier if we had less sprawl and more country. Despite the
noise of traffic on the surrounding streets, the outdoor market remains
peacfull. The morning starts with employees quietly sorting
flats
of strawberrys packing them up for sale.
In addition to the strawberries, bottles of stuffed olives, home made
salad dressing, jugs of gourmet honey and bunches of colorful Daisies
are currently featured at the market which opened again after it was
closed for the winter on April 1st.
As the the spring and summer continues more products and produce will
be added for sale.
Last year this little store brought more that $200,00, which helps aid
the educational foundation that supports Pierce Collage. The goal
eventually is to expand the farm center and build a conference facility
that may include a kitchen for cooking demonstration of local grown
food.
First opening as a pumpkin farm and corn maze a few years ago, the farm
center hopes to keep the facility open year round. The community looks
at this place as a farm experience, families on shopping
trips
and school children on field trips roam through a nearby pasture to pet
goats, sheep, ponies and Holly day Hills Farms, this give the
children a connection to the place and they have some fun while
connecting to the basic of life.
