"Next Stop: Farmers Market -- Get Yer Rutabagas, Turnips, and Squash"

Lamorinda gets yet another outlet for its seemingly unquenchable thirst for fresh vegetables Sunday, when a new Farmers Market opens at the Lafayette BART parking lot.

 

Lamorinda, it seems, can't get enough fresh food. Farmers markets in Moraga and Orinda are both well attended and doing well and an exploratory attempt for a market in Lafayette Plaza was well received but a little cramped.

Now, the folks at Urban Village are preparing to open a brand new, year-round market at the . It debuts Sunday and there appears to be a buzz unrelated to the hum from the adjacent BART tracks.

"I will go," said Vickie Denning, a recent arrival in Lafayette who has already heard about the market. "We had one where I came from down south and it was fun. I'm looking forward to seeing what they have here."

On several occasions, I have seen 5-6 chickens pecking their way down their steep driveway on theRead More east side of Saint Mary's Road, very close to the Cattle Chute. I had not read this story earlier. On 6/3 or 6/4, I saw a black hen, alone, out in the road right at the point of the Moraga Commons. It was pecking the pavement on Moraga Road, as cars turning north from Saint Mary's Road were avoiding it. I hope the chicken crossed the road to the trail on the other side. Better yet, I hope it turned around and followed that trail right back to the Cattle Chute and home.
