An array of locally grown tomatoes, peppers, squash and other produce made its debut at the first Wednesday Morning Chef’s Farmer’s Market at the Central Arizona College Maricopa Campus.

The market will run every Wednesday from 8 to 11 a.m. through July 26. Chef Gabe Gardner and CAC’s Culinary Department sell a variety of organic vegetables that are grown in the school’s garden. Student-baked artisan bread is also available for purchase.

However, those who arrive early to the market at 7 a.m. will receive the produce free-of-charge after they assist with the weeding and harvesting of the garden.
