Oildale Farmers Market

This isn't a big market by any means but it does have heart and it does donate half of the nights take to local vets. I don't know many business that are that committed to making something work. Give it a try. Everyone who comes out is entered to win a $$ prize.

The negative comments are absolutely spot on when they say that this farmers market is small. No arguments there at all. Let's get real, we are talking Oildale here, not central Bakersfield or the Rosedale area. On the Thursday evenings that I am in town, I make it a point to peruse each and every merchant, which by the way consists of more than just 3 tents. I have purchased my fruits and veggies, natural dog treats, hand made craft items, local bee honey and even brought home a hot dinner for us to enjoy. Oh ya, and don't forget to tip the wonderful guitarist/vocalist who keeps us entertained.Overall this most certainly is in no way a Kaiser Sunday market and not even close to the Brimhall Saturday market, but it does have what I need to keep me going throughout the week. Don't be detoured by the negative comments and think about it in a positive. Since it is smaller it's easy to find what you want, purchase your items and then get home and spend your valuable time preparing a healthy meal for your beautiful family.

This Farmer's Market is a joke. The selection of fresh produce at a 7-11 far exceeds the amount of selection here. It took my wife and I all of 15 seconds to scan the three tents that had nothing anyone would wish to buy.
