A new farmers market in Truckee launches June 14.

It will be on Sundays from 10am to 2pm through Sept. 27.

The Truckee Community Farmers Market, organized jointly by Slow Food Lake Tahoe and Gary Romano of Sierra Valley Farms, will be focused on increasing access to local, healthy food for all people in the region.

It will be at 12047 Donner Pass Road — Tri Counties Bank/Sears/Coffeebar Bakery parking lot.

The launch of the new farmers market is the latest move by Slow Food Lake Tahoe to engage the North Tahoe community in the slow food movement. Slow Food Lake Tahoe also runs the Truckee Demonstration Garden at the Truckee River Regional Park, and offers a monthly Skillshare Series with inexpensive classes that teach participants techniques like making fermented foods, homebrewing beer, composting and gardening in our high altitude environment. The Slow Food Lake Tahoe annual farm-to-table event, “Cooking Outside the Box” takes place on June 21 at Plumpjack Inn in Squaw Valley. For more information, visit www.slowfoodlaketahoe.org.

Slow Food Lake Tahoe’s mission is to reconnect people to the enjoyment of local, seasonal and sustainable food while educating the community about their vital role as participants in our food system.
