About

The Modesto Certified Farmers’ Market began in 1979 from humble beginnings.  A farmer, MJC Ag Instructor and then Mayor Peggy Mensinger brought fresh produce direct to the Community long before “Buy Local, Buy Fresh” became a catch phrase.  We continue to be a grassroots organization, supporting our local farmers  and Community while striving to maintain a balance and meeting the needs of an ever changing consumer landscape.
