The Antioch Farmers' Market will launch on June 22, 2023, in downtown Antioch to enhance access to fresh food. Operating every Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., the market is positioned in the Rivertown district. Local community leaders like Joy Motts, board president of Celebrate Antioch Foundation, emphasize its significance, citing the area's decline into a food desert. The market will feature over 25 local vendors and aims for year-round operation if it succeeds. Plans also include a makers market in July to further engage the community.
"I think over the last few years, we've kind of become a little bit of a food desert, with a lot of major grocery stores leaving."
"According to the California Farmers' Markets Association, there will be over 25 local farmers and vendors."
