This is in response to a comment on my previous post regarding the current dust-up over the application to host a Sunday Farmer's Market at The Americana, which some say would hurt the Montrose Harvest Market. If the proposed market does draw traffic from the Montrose Harvest Market, that would be because there is demand in south and central Glendale that is currently poorly served by the Harvest Market's location.
Montrose is just too damn far away for me to go to the Harvest Market regularly.
Consider it from my perspective in SW Glendale. I usually patronize the downtown Glendale Farmers Market (one mile away) and the Atwater Village Farmers Market (also one mile away, and also on Sunday) - with two options less than one mile away, why would I drive six miles to Montrose?
From my location, even the awesome Hollywood farmers market on Ivar is closer than Montrose. It would be unfair to protect the Montrose Harvest Market by euthanizing an additional option for those of us in south Glendale.

A neighbor just told me that they heard the farmers market was at Americana on Saturdays is this true? If so i can't wait to bike there we live near sf road and 134 and bike all around Glendale I love going to the thursday market but just started a new job that won't allow me to so the weekday markets. Also do you know are dogs allowed? We bike with our dog everywhere in Glendale! She loves it but montrose is just too far!
Glad to hear you're biking! Yes, the farmers market is at the Americana on SATURDAYS now. Dogs are allowed at the Americana but I can't say about the market area specifically.
dogs are never allowed in farmers markets unless they are seeing eye dogs.... its a violation of health code.
