October 26, 2011 - Due to its community success, Orange Home Grown, Inc. announced today the Old Towne Orange Farmers and Artisans Market happening every Saturday, is going year round. The new hours for the market will change from 8 a.m. to 12 noon to 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., starting November 5th. The Farmers Market was launched on May 7, 2011, and is located at Chapman University's Historic Villa Park Orchards Packinghouse parking lot located at the northwest corner of Cypress and Palm Avenue.
Along with the new hours come some exciting changes. New for the holidays, Artists Alley will be introduced to the market starting November 5th and running until December 17th. This will be an annual seasonal event at the market. Local artists will be featured giving the community the opportunity to purchase unique holiday gifts.
Just in time for Halloween on Saturday, October 29th, anyone dressed in costume at the market will receive a Halloween treat compliments of the Orange Home Grown Board of Directors. Also, bring your already carved Jack-O-Lantern to the market on that day and enter it in the Farmers Market Jack-O-Lantern contest. The winner will receive a farmers market gift basket filled with holiday goodies fresh from the market.

"The Orange Home Grown Farmers Market is a great way for us to educate market-goers of all ages about the importance of honeybees, the vital role they play in maintaining our diverse food supply, and our treatment-free methods of beekeeping," says Bill Walter.
