New farmers market in Costa Mesa

COSTA MESA — Locally grown, fresh produce and other outdoor market goodies will be available this weekend at the opening of the community's newest farmers market.

The new certified farmer's market opens at the South Coast Collections ("SoCo") on the 3300 block of Hyland Avenue and will occur weekly from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturdays.

In addition to farm-fresh fruits and vegetables, the market vendors will also sell flowers, hummus, fresh fish, coffee and more, according to a news release.

This will be the third market opened by the nonprofit Sprouts of Promise Foundation, which aims to educate both children and adults on the importance of healthy eating habits with an emphasis on the benefits of locally sourced fruits and vegetables.

Other Spouts of Promise Farmers' Markets can be found in Newport Beach and Playa Vista.
