If one of your New Year’s resolutions was to eat more fruit and vegetables, it’s your lucky day! Today is Farmers’ Market Day in Fort Bragg. Starting at 2:00 on Wednesday afternoon, the market is in the heart of beautiful downtown Fort Bragg, at the corner of Laurel and Franklin Streets. You’ll find the freshest, locally-grown vegetables and fruit, grown by your friends and neighbors.

If you’re a CalFresh recipient, you can double your benefits at the market, so you can buy twice as many fruit and vegetables. Click here to find out more.

See you at the Market!

So many people start the New Year with resolutions that are hard to keep and focus on the negative, not the positive. Instead of taking something away, like sugar or caffeine, why not add something that brings you joy?

In this week’s Fort Bragg Advocate-News and The Mendocino Beacon, MCC’s Executive Director, Lucresha Renteria, explains how small changes can make a big difference to your health and well-being:
