Date Street between Kettner Boulevard and State Street \u2014 activating the newly opened Piazza della Famiglia. The new market will be held from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. year-round.<\/p>\n<p>Created to be the destination \u201cwhere the chefs shop,\u201d the Little Italy Wednesday Market will provide local chefs and restaurants a midweek market to give them plenty of time to shop for local produce and ingredients to craft their menu specials for the upcoming weekend. The Little Italy Wednesday Market will also serve the thousands of residents, employees and visitors of Little Italy by providing another opportunity for shoppers to shop local and support local farmers and food-makers.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAs chefs and restaurants in San Diego plan and prepare their farm-to-table menus for the weekend, they will now be able to shop for local produce and ingredients directly from dedicated farmers and food-makers right in their backyard, which creates a huge benefit for the farmers\u201d said Catt Fields White, Little Italy Mercato and Wednesday Market manager. \u201cLike the successful midweek morning market in Santa Monica, we think Little Italy\u2019s central location, high traffic of visitors and residents and abundance of restaurants makes it the perfect location to launch this new farmers market. We\u2019re looking forward to providing this convenient avenue for chefs and the community who desire a reliable source of farm fresh, healthy food in the middle of the week.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_7021\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-7021\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-7021 lazyload\" data-src=\"https:\/\/sandiegodowntownnews.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/12\/Christopher-M-Gomez3web.jpg\" alt=\"The Little Italy Wednesday Market launches this month\" width=\"300\" height=\"413\" src=\"data:image\/gif;base64,R0lGODlhAQABAAAAACH5BAEKAAEALAAAAAABAAEAAAICTAEAOw==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 300px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 300\/413;\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-7021\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Crist\u00f3bal G\u00f3mez<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>Similar to the treasured Little Italy Mercato, the year-round Little Italy Wednesday Market will offer a selection of farm-fresh produce, pastured eggs, poultry, meat, fish and more brought to the neighborhood by California farmers, fisherman and artisan food-makers.
