Robbie Sigona is our produce buyer. He works with local farmers and scours the market for the very best in fresh fruits and vegetables — some you won’t find anywhere else.
Locally-grown arugula from San Juan Bautista down to Salinas is available from April-November.
Fresh arugula should be all green. A light green is ok, but avoid yellow leaves.
Arugula is extremely delicate and should be used within a day or two of purchase.
Keep refrigerated (stored with a damp paper towel) until you eat.
If you rinse the arugula, be sure to remove as much moisture as possible before adding to a salad or tossing with a vinaigrette.
We know spring is on the horizon when some of our favorite, locally grown produce items start to arrive at our markets!
Organic Albion strawberries from Watsonville, just-picked asparagus from Salinas and Stockton, and heirloom artichokes from Pezzini Farms in Castroville are available now in our markets.
Robbie Sigona, director and lead produce buyer of Sigona's Farmers Market, shares more info in this video about what makes these produce items special, and why they're the freshest and best tasting when you get them from Sigona's!
