Serving Clovis, Portales and the Surrounding Communities
When Clovis’ Farmer’s Market opens in a little over a month it will be in the parking lot of the city’s North Plains Mall, a new location.
Margie Plummer, market manager for the Clovis and Portales farmer’s markets says a portion of the area where the market used to be held, in the parking lot of Goodwin Lake Trail Park, was sold by the city and new construction will begin there soon.
“We were welcome to stay,” Plummer said, “But our fear was construction would begin and interfere with the market.”
Plummer said she understands the rest of the parking area adjacent to Prince Street is also for sale.
Plummer took a call from North Plains Mall administrators who told her, “We would welcome you to come here.”
The Clovis Farmer’s Market will open Saturday, July 2 at 8 a.m. in the North Plains Mall parking lot behind Red Lobster. The market will also be open Tuesdays at 5 p.m. Closing time for the market is “when it’s all gone.”
The market’s last day is set for Saturday, October 29.
Plummer added the Portales Farmer’s Market will open Thursday, July 7 at 5 p.m.
