The Modesto Certified Farmers’ Market, which started in 1979, opened its doors again last April 2, and is scheduled to run until August 15. It will operate every Thursday and Saturday from 7:00 am to 1:00 pm on 16th Street between H & I Street. Led by a grassroots organization supporting local farmers, the market offers visitors the well-loved staples such as fresh fruits and vegetables, as well as some pleasant surprises like live music, demos, and more. Health Benefits of Fruits and Vegetables Fruits and vegetables have certainly earned their healthy reputation—they’re rich in vitamins and minerals, fiber, phytochemicals, and antioxidants. They’re also low on calories and fat. These qualities contribute to their multitude of benefits, which include lower blood pressure, lower blood cholesterol levels, lower risk of obesity, decreased risk of heart failure, and decreased risk of certain cancers.
