Each week the Market will feature a free film screening outdoors beginning at 8:15 p.m. Seating is provided, but guests are also invited to bring blankets and picnic outdoors while enjoying classic films such as “American Graffiti” this Thursday, June 20 and “Stand By Me” on Thursday, June 27.
Attendees may also pick up farm fresh dinners from the Market’s artisans to enjoy with the movie. Options include grass-fed burgers and barbecue from Farmhouse Kitchen; handmade, natural pizza from Pizza of Venice; Canela Empanadas; sweet and savory crepes from Gourmet Crepes; fish tacos from Larry’s Grill; rotisserie chicken from Gourmet Grill Masters; California oysters from Shuck’s Oyster Bar; hummus and olives from Ari’s Natural Food; farmstead cheeses from Dairy Goddess; and many fresh fruit and vegetable options from the Market’s farmers, including Shear Rock Farms, Gourmet Specialties, Sun Coast Farms and Summer Harvest.
