Dinuba Farmers Market has Support of Health Providers

Kaweah Health, Health Net, Family HealthCare Network and Valley Health Team are all sponsors of Dinuba Certified Farmers' Market, which celebrates its 10th anniversary this year.

The City of Dinuba Parks and Recreation Dept. and STEP UP also support the market.

Held in Downtown Dinuba, the Dinuba Certified Farmers' Market provides education and fresh, healthy food to combat obesity, diabetes and other health challenges faced in the Central Valley. It is also an important venue for local farmers to display and sell their products.

The Kaweah Health Dinuba Clinic is offering a Veggie Rx program to bring new families to the market.

In addition to fresh affordable fruits and vegetables, this year's market offers theme nights in hopes of making it the "hot spot" for Friday nights. Themes include Super Heroes' Day, Kids' Day, Noche Latina, and First Responders' Night.

"There are many components that factor in for a successful farmers market, and one of those is commitment and dedication, which we see amongst our partners, vendors and the community. It is an honor to continue offering this free, family-friendly, community event," said Michelle Tapia, market manager.

The market, which has been taking place at at 289 South L St., from 5-8 p.m. on Fridays, will run through July 12.
