Organic produce and flowers offered through UCSC Farm and Garden Market Cart

The UCSC Farm and Garden Market Cart launched its annual season on June 1, 2012 with a variety of organic vegetables, fruit, herbs and flowers. You can find the cart every Tuesday and Friday through October 30, from 12-6 p.m. at the base of the UCSC campus, on the corner of Bay and High Streets. The cart is operated by CASFS (The Center for Agroecology & Sustainable Food Systems).

Selections will vary as the farm season changes, but early-season offerings include strawberries, blueberries, tender lettuces, and other greens. Later in the season, available items will include sweet corn, dry-farmed tomatoes, plums, potatoes, sweet and hot peppers, and basil.

All items are grown at the UCSC Farm and Garden by staff and students in the Apprenticeship in Ecological Horticulture training program, and all proceeds benefit the Apprenticeship program. For more information contact (831) 459-3240 or casfs@ucsc.edu.
