Alpine County seeks operator for monthly summer Farmer's Market in Markleeville

ALPINE COUNTY, Calif. - Alpine County is seeking a qualified operator to produce a monthly Farmer's Market in Markleeville for the 2023 season, June through October. This quaint, historic town is strategically located in the Eastern Sierra and is an ideal location for event activations. The tentative location of the Farmer’s Market is on Montgomery St. between Highway 89 and Laramie Rd. The proposed location will be closed down to vehicle traffic to create pedestrian and vendor access for the event.

Applicants may inspect the site by appointment made through the Economic Development Department, JT Chevallier, jchevallier@alpinecountyca.gov.
