The owners of Farmers Market have recently announced that a huge new retail project will be built around the existing Market. The good news is that the original Farmers Market will be left unscathed - even the Gilmore Adobe will be left standing. The new Grove will be built mainly to the east and north of the existing market, in what are now the Market's parking lots. The bad news is that parking is already scarce there, and with the parking lots gone, they will have to build two new parking garages in the northeast corner of the old lot. And it is uncertain whether the new development will hurt the rustic ambiance of its old neighbor.
Parking is available in the market's large lot is free.
Admission is free. It would be easy for a newcomer to drive right past Farmers Market without even realizing it, since the open-air market itself is hidden away behind an unpretentious wooden exterior. Only the twin farm clock towers call attention to the center. Look for the famous white, wooden clock tower.
