There is a big move in store for Lassen County’s only certified Farmers’ Market after the Lassen Land and Trails Trust Board of Directors unanimously voted to move the market to Pancera Plaza in uptown Susanville. The plaza is located on South Gay Street between Main Street and Cottage Street.
“Historic Uptown Susanville Association presented us with a proposal to move the market to the plaza,” said Elizabeth Norton, Vice President of the Lassen Land and Trails Trust. “We polled the vendors, discussed the move with HUSA, and everyone agreed the Pancera Plaza location offered the best opportunity to grow the market.”
This year’s market will be jointly operated by HUSA and the Lassen Land and Trails Trust as part of a new partnership that will benefit both organizations and allow for a smooth transition between locations. The grand opening of the first market is Saturday morning, June 4th and the market will continue to operate until September 24th.
“We want the market to thrive in our community,” said David Teeter, President of HUSA. “Pancera Plaza has great visibility from Main Street to attract customers and vendors. The market will also bring more foot traffic to uptown businesses so everybody benefits from having it here.”
Laura Medvin, the Farmers’ Market Manager, and HUSA are already lining up vendors, musicians, and other activities that will make the market an exciting place to be on Saturday mornings this summer! Come check it out for locally grown fresh produce, meat, prepared foods and unique crafts.
