You know a town has come into its own when they have a farmer's market there. Right? I mean that tells you people have made this place a home and a destination spot. I was excited to hear that my hometown, Montclair, which resides in my bigger hometown Oakland, is starting a Farmer's Market May 1 right there in downtown Montclair Village (3 blocks long, 5 blocks wide). I cried when the evil trio Starbucks, Noahs Bagels and Jamba Juice came to town, and when Icehouse and the original Colonial Donuts closed down, but I'm happy about the arrival of the new Farmer's Market. Welcome farmers! Don't let the yuppies scare you away!
Montclair Village Farmer's Market
Sundays from 9 am to 1 pm
On La Salle Ave between Mountain Blvd. and Moraga Ave.

Hey, now that's good news! A nice area for it too. I remember parking not being all that easy to deal with though. Probably no tougher than Berkeley though. Please report back with something, if'n you go. Surely they'll have fruits & veggies, but it'll be interesting to see who else shows up.
