Fairfield market returns

Fairfield’s downtown farmers market returns on Thursday, May 7, bringing weekly produce booths back to the County Green for the 2026 season. (dailyrepublic.com) The market is scheduled to run every Thursday from 3 p.m. to 7 p.m. in downtown Fairfield, with the 2026 season continuing through Sept. 24. (dailyrepublic.com; yourtownmonthly.com) The City of Fairfield and the Fairfield-Suisun Chamber of Commerce are promoting the event as a weekly downtown draw for farmers, food vendors, artisans, florists, specialty food makers, retail pop-ups, and performers. (nextdoor.com) Dine Out Downtown is returning alongside the market. Participating restaurants will offer market customers 15% to 20% off their bill, excluding alcohol, on Thursdays starting at 3 p.m. through closing time. (dailyrepublic.com) Customers must pick up a Dine Out Downtown postcard at the market and present it at a participating restaurant to get the discount. The city launched the dining program in 2023 to steer market foot traffic into downtown restaurants during market hours. (dailyrepublic.com; fairfield.ca.gov) One listed participant this year is Farm Fresh to You, the Capay-based produce delivery company tied to Capay Organic. The company says it delivers certified-organic produce boxes and grocery add-ons to homes and offices across California. (dailyrepublic.com; farmfreshtoyou.com; farmfreshtoyou.com) Farm Fresh to You says the delivery business grew out of Capay Organic’s family farm in 1992, when Kathy Barsotti turned the farm’s community-supported agriculture program into a home-delivery service. The company says that service began in Capay Valley and now ships customizable boxes with doorstep delivery included. (farmfreshtoyou.com; farmfreshtoyou.com) The Fairfield market has been running since 1990, according to the city’s vendor recruitment notice, which makes this year’s opening part of a long-running seasonal program rather than a one-off event. (nextdoor.com) The next marker is May 7: opening day, a ribbon cutting, and the start of another Thursday cycle meant to keep shoppers moving between produce stands and downtown restaurant tables.
