Health and Safety Update
OHG Farmers Market Will Reopen on April 18th

On behalf of Orange Home Grown (OHG), we would like to say a heartfelt THANK YOU to our community for the support over the years and especially through these current trying times. We are proud to announce that the Farmers Market will be reopening this Saturday, April 18th. OHG has been reviewing State and County guidelines, along with reviewing procedures set by other established farmers markets, to see what has been working to create a safe shopping experience for customers, vendors, staff, and volunteers. We will be hosting a smaller version of the weekly farmers market in the parking lot of Chapman's Becket Building only. We ask that you help us ensure safety for our community by wearing a face covering, sending one representative of your family to do the shopping, and ensuring a 6' social distance at all times. Please review our new guidelines listed on our website.

This Saturday's Vendor List for the Market
Prepare Your Shopping List

To make your market trip as safe and efficient as possible this weekend, check out the vendors that will be available. You can read more information about these vendors on the Orange Home Grown website. In addition, many of our vendors currently not participating this Saturday (due to a reduction of site area) are taking pre-orders and providing a pick-up location here in Orange on Wednesday mornings. Please place orders directly with vendors to receive the pick-up location.  We hope to have the farmer's market up and running in it's full capacity soon.  
Updated Market Entrance/Exit
For the Farmers Market
OHG is recommending that you use the free public parking lot on Lemon St., then walk to the entrance on Palm Ave. To maintain social distancing, we will only have one entrance and one exit. We are also limiting the number of people allowed in the market area at once, so be prepared to wait in line before you are able to shop. Stay calm, enjoy the fresh air, and know we are thankful you have chosen to support small local businesses during this time.

Thank you to everyone who has already supported our fundraiser! Local volunteers are creating wooden yard signs to spread messages of strength, unity, and hope throughout our community. 100% of proceeds will be used to purchase products from the OHG Farmers and Artisans Market to be donated to Waste Not OC to prepare meals for families in need in our community during COVID-19.
