A farmers market is scheduled to begin doing business at Houghton Park in North Long Beach on Monday.

Vendors are scheduled to sell produce and other wares at Houghton Park Farmers Market from 2 to 6 p.m. Monday, according to an announcement from Councilman Rex Richardson’s office. Farmers and other merchants dealing in the likes of fruits, vegetables, eggs and honey are expected to do business at the market.

Other vendors serving prepared food in such forms as musubi, tamales, burritos, roasted peanuts and corn, as well as fruit juice, are also expected to be part of the market.

Harbor Area Farmers Markets, a South Coast Interfaith Council operation, is the organization behind the Monday markets. The group also produces markets in Bixby Knolls on Thursdays, downtown Long Beach on Fridays, at Cerritos Towne Center on Saturday mornings and at Alamitos Bay Marina on Sunday mornings.

Customers can pay for food using SNAP benefits, and Harbor Area Farmers Market also offers up to $10 in matching coupons for customers who receive assistance through certain social benefits programs. Matching coupons are available to people receiving benefits through Cal Fresh, the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants and Children (WIC), the WIC Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program, the Senior Farmers’ Market Nutrition Program, Supplemental Security Income and Social Security Disability Insurance.

Long Beach’s Park and Recreation Commission approved plans to bring the market to Houghton Park for a one-year test run during an October meeting.
