D Street comes to life every Saturday morning when La Verne community members enjoy healthy local produce at the farmers market. The farmers market is home to various local farmers and serves as a platform to connect consumers to the agricultural industry and healthy living.
La Verne community members out early Saturday got to hear the music of Soundwave band while enjoying samples of persimmons and oranges at the La Verne farmers market, which has been in full swing Saturdays year-round for over a year.
It is a cloudy Saturday morning. While most people are still tucked away in their comfortable beds or waking up to begin their weekends, a few dedicated people are setting up shop.
It's a stimulation of all the senses. The smell of fresh, sweet popcorn fills the air while the bright flowers and unique jewelry appeal to the eyes. Homemade cookies, tamales, candy apples and fresh fruit make the mouth water just at a glance. Where do all these gifts come from? Nope, it's not the county fair; it's in La Verne's own backyard.
In order to promote the strawberry season, Old Town La Verne will be having its first Strawberry Festival at the Farmer's Market on Bonita Avenue and D Street tomorrow.
