Fresh fruit and veggies, excellent olive oil, a variety of wine and beer … ahhhhhhhh, the good life … and it is all right here at UC Davis.

You can find produce at the East Quad Farmers Market, scheduled every Wednesday from 10 a.m. to 2:30 p.m., April 1 to June 3. It is a project of Health Education and Promotion, a unit of Student Health Services, and other campus and community organizations.
