The Valencia Farmers Market will launch on August 4, 2024, operating every Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the corner of Magic Mountain Parkway and Navigation Avenue in Santa Clarita Valley, California. This new certified market offers residents and visitors direct access to fresh, locally sourced produce and food products from growers, with California Farm Direct Markets overseeing operations. Market Manager Larry McClements noted that this expansion provides additional choices for freshly harvested produce in the growing community.
Licensed by both the California Department of Food and Agriculture and LA County Agriculture, the market ensures compliance with all regulatory standards while emphasizing support for local agriculture. The venue at 27426 Navigation Avenue offers ample parking and easy access, strategically positioned to serve Valencia and surrounding areas. This addition complements existing community amenities like Confluence Park, Adventure Playground, and extensive trail systems, reinforcing Valencia's nature-inspired living environment.
Developed by FivePoint as a mixed-use planned community integrating residential, commercial, retail, educational, and recreational elements, Valencia's new farmers market supports the growing interest in locally sourced food and sustainable living practices. By creating a platform for direct sales between farmers and consumers, the market strengthens the local economy while providing access to seasonal produce and artisanal products. For potential homebuyers, this amenity adds to Valencia's comprehensive lifestyle offerings, with housing options ranging from the upper $400,000s to mid $1 millions.
The market's launch reflects broader trends toward community-supported agriculture and creates a social hub that fosters neighborhood connections. Valencia's location in Los Angeles County provides convenient access to retail, dining, educational institutions like Cal Arts and College of the Canyons, and healthcare facilities including Henry Mayo Hospital, with proximity to I-5 ensuring manageable commutes to area job centers.
