News from Solano Community College:

The 2015 Solano Grown Online Marketplace is open for business.

You can buy fresh fruits, vegetables, and other products grown in Solano County from the ease of your home.

Open now until October, the Online Marketplace has a weekly pick-up point at its Food Hub located at the Solano Community College. Customers order by Wednesday and pick up their order Thursday afternoon.

Customers interested in buying or farmers wanting to sell products can visit www.SolanoGrown.org

The Solano Grown Online Marketplace is an online farmer’s market where customers are able to select goods from various farmers and make only one payment through our secure online shopping cart.

The Solano Grown Food Hub is centrally located at the Horticulture building, 1000, on the Solano Community College campus.

Solano Grown began with the purpose of supporting products grown and produced in Solano County, and the organization is now in its fourth year. The non-profit partnership has expanded, but the focus remains on producing and marketing an array of high quality products. Being located in the heart of an agricultural paradise, Solano County houses a vast number of small and micro farmers. Products from Solano Grown members range from everyday fruits and vegetables (both conventional and organic), to plants, wines, honey, fibers, and even gourmet meats. Several of the farmers sell on their own roadway fruit stands, farmer’s markets, or other venues, but Solano Grown also provides a convenient way for you to purchase products via the Online Marketplace with a single pick up location at the Food Hub.
