ENCINO, Calif. (FOX 11) - There’s a new farmer’s market in the San Fernando Valley.

Encino Hospital Medical Center held a ribbon cutting ceremony Thursday to introduce their new market. The farmer’s market will provide patients, their families and medical staff to easy access to healthy, local, farm fresh food. 

The market is also open to the public. It’s open every Thursday from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the healing garden.
