Despite the cold temps and needing to be bundled up, farmers braved the cold drive up to Tahoe and patrons made their way to the American Legion for the first farmers’ market of the season in South Lake Tahoe.

As more produce ripens, more vendors will be at the Tuesday market. The market is open form 8am-1pm each Tuesday through early October.

Peaches, cherries, blueberries, lettuce, herbs, squash, onions, asparagus, garlic and other produce were all available June 5.

For those needing lunch on the go, different food vendors were also on hand and will be back each week.
