The Most Delectable Farmers Market in Sacramento

Winterport Farm

★★★★★ 5 (5) • $$

"Wow! Grass-fed beef is far superior to the beef you can purchase in grocery stores. The flavor, texture and taste were amazing. Our family did a comparison (double-blind) and couldn't believe the differences in taste compared to the Raley's meat. It is more expensive but we know where our beef is from and what the cattle are eating. The peace of mind is definitely worth the extra price per pound. Looks like we will be purchasing our beef from Winterport Farm at the Rancho Cordova Farmer's Market from now on."

UC Davis Health System Farmers Market

★★★★☆ 4.2 (9) • $$

"This is sort of a hidden gem when it comes to local Farmers Markets. It's not very large and it's off the beaten path (in the middle of a hospital complex), so it's easy miss it. There is rarely a large crowd and the market is accessible from any of the surrounding neighborhoods. Park your car or walk or bike over. The vendors are all pretty friendly and they have a great selection of your basic produce with a sprinkling of oddities like vegan desserts and an Indian food truck. Sometimes there is music as well in the form of a local singer/songwriter. In the "cons" column, the market is only about half a block long with half as much to offer. That's relatively small compared to the big boys downtown. The oddities like the Indian food truck are nice, but that selection only appeals to a certain crowd. Overall, what they do have they do right. For the casual market-goer, the UC Davis Health System Farmers Market is a perfect addition to the neighborhood."

The Natomas Farmers Market

★★★★☆ 3.6 (5) • $

"Every Saturday from 9 am to noon, the parking lot of Inderkum High School in Natomas turns into a farmers' market.We've gone the last two weeks, and there is lots of good fruit there! Good veggies too, along with eggs, meat, nuts, and tables for the local library and PTA.Add a breakfast/coffee place and a bakery, and you'll get 5 stars out of me, market! As it is now, you'll find lots and lots of good food to eat, and a chance to mingle with neighbors and buy great local produce."

Dave's Pumpkin Patch @ Vierra Farms

★★★☆☆ 2.9 (295) • $$

"Pumpkin patch on steroids. Lots to choose from and you can also hit the corn maze, hay ride, meet the pony's, enjoy food stands, and shop at the fresh produce market. Highly suggest the apple cider donuts - made super fresh and deliciously warm!"

Sunrise Mall Farmers Market

★★★★☆ 4.1 (56) • $$

"The Sunrise Mall Farmer's Market just keeps getting better and better! The amount of vendors continue to grow, the organic produce is ample, and there is a continuous presence now of coffee, tea, and food vendors alongside the produce and craft booths.This suburban farmer's market attracts local farms and also some specialty ones, like Watsonville strawberries which are the best you'll ever taste. Zena Foods is also a routine vendor with amazing hummus. Be sure to check it out. Pro tip: find Mr. Vang's booth and you're going to find the best deals on pesticide-free produce."

Asian Farmers Market

★★★★★ 4.7 (38) • $

"One of the items that I find here and nowhere else are the tofu "crusts" that are from tofu-makers trimming the neat tofu squares. These are a bit drier and denser than the other tofu products. They are wide and thin...almost ribbonlike. They're a byproduct of the tofu-making process. Rather than toss them, there's a vender here that bags these irregular bits and sells them, cheap. I like them because the are a bit chewy and textured. They don't fall apart during cooking. They hold up to being sliced in shorter pieces and stir-fried. One bag is enough for several mealsMany bargains can be found here if you're adventurous enough to try new-to-you fruits and veggies. I recommend making a pass-through of the whole market before making purchases. Prices can vary from vender to vender.You can save quite a bit of money getting your produce here rather than at the regular supermarket produce department. That's if you are flexible in which veggies you purchase. This place tends to have all sorts of asian veggies and only a few of the more common ones."

Historic Folsom Farmers Market

★★★★☆ 4.3 (48) • $$

"What's not to love ?! Lots of fresh organic fruits and veggies, fresh breads , pastry, kefir yogurts, coffee, local artisans , and good vibes. I always enjoy coming out here to get some pastries and coffee and just meandering about . This market is super dog friendly! Some venders will have a dog bowl with water available for pups. This is a medium size farmers market , every Saturday next to old railroad tracks in old town Folsom . On some mornings they have music . Plenty of free parking in parking structure next door. Come on out for a visit :))"

Certified Farmers' Market at Fremont Park

★★★★☆ 3.9 (13) • $

"Farmers Market on a Tuesday! I am going to try to keep this a tradition on every Tuesday. Wake up early go jog in midtown, then go to the farmers market and pick up some fresh fruits, veggies, and flowers for mum. Then go across to Insight coffee and have a nice warm hot latte. This Farmer's market is located on 15th and Q street, on Fremont park. It is not too big, there are a limited selections for flowers and fruits, just fyi. It is quite small but hey everything looks great! I almost couldn't resist and just want to throw everything in my picnic basket. Anyways my main point for this destination is to grab some fresh flowers for mom. Just to surprise her because i love her! I was hunting down all the flower vendors, but there is one vendor who is nice and sells a big bouquet for only $7! It is so pretty, big, and colorful. The bouquet really brightens up my morning, day! The first thing i did when i went home is find it a beautiful vase and put fresh water and threw in some ice in it to keep it refreshing. Some helpful hints is come here before 10:30am for first pick on everything. Because once those state workers get there it be crowded and a long line to fight, and no more first picks. Overall this is a small and limited farmers market, i will keep continuing to support this one vendor my friend recommended me to get my flowers. Also great place to get everything i need, and its across from insight, so that means one stop for everything and I'm all set! If your hungry they have Rosa's Tamales, where their horchata was calling and written all over me, but i was good to resist that temptation while i walked by it. hehe.... Anyways thanks for reading, stay fresh! Stay cool in the upcoming warm weathers."

"We love this place!!The prices are so cheap and the produce is great.They always offer free samples to.Everyone is so nice and they always help us put our boxes of produce in our car without us even asking.This place barely opened so they're slowly bringing in more and more product, but trust me they've got a good selection already.This is definitely our go to produce spot!"

"I Am Going To MIss This Farmer's Market Come This First Week Of October!SITREP...because like all the other Certified Farmers Markets in Sacramento, they shut down for the Fall and Winter seasons. *sad panda* (but such is the seasonal life of agriculture in this hemisphere). MULTI-TASKINGI also love economizing my activities. Which is why I hardly ventured to this market much before.*ROOSEVELT PARKThe nice thing about the Farmer's Market located in Roosevelt Park on Tuesday's is that I can check out fresh produce at dozen's of stalls, grab a couple of Samosa's to snack on from Raja's Tandoor food stand, and/or perhaps grab a sandwich from my friend Marcos at his Le Croissant Deli just a block away.Usually a once-a-week Farmers Market stop enough for me. But lately, I've become a big believer in the "you gotta shake it up every now and then", right?THE SETUPSo enter the Certified Farmers Market located here on Capitol Mall on Thursdays:* Thursday - 2 days later, and hence not too soon after the Tuesday Market* Thursday - a market with a slightly different variety of vendors and actually other special-interest booths, including some Health and Corporate sponsorshttps://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/certified-farmers-market-sacramento-2?select=Z9BnF2SGE_kwEpRMLZTO-g&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0w* Thursday - a market closer to two of my other favorite coffee & pastry shops - Old Soul on Capitol Mall, and Specialty's Bakery.* Thursday - the Kettle Corn people come to this one and not the one on Tuesdayhttps://www.yelp.com/biz_photos/certified-farmers-market-sacramento-2?select=iOjXa_4amFqN8XuYfLYTMw&userid=3mNz5nQFTIBQm0oU5mBR0wTHE LOWDOWNSo there is great variety here at this Thursday Farmers Market that is definitely worth checking out!NOTE: The useless survey question that asks "Take out?" It's pretty much ALL take out!"

Sactown's Finest Market

★★★★★ 4.5 (4)

"This review is for Sactown's Finest Market pop up at R Street. The DJ was great, it was a nice holiday shopping vibe with a variety of food and drinks options. Even though we were full from lunch, I couldn't say no to caffeine after a meal. Happy to see CA Phe Diem at this event, as I've been wanting to try them for awhile. Only available as a pop up or event booking in the Sacramento and Bay Area. We ordered the Minty Mocha Coffee and Ube Matcha with toasted coconut flakes on top. Really fun to drink because of the crunchy texture from the coconut flakes. The Ube top was perfectly sweet and creamy to my liking. Can't wait to try the Pandan coconut coffee next time."

Denio's Roseville Farmers Market & Swap Meet

★★★★☆ 3.6 (382) • $

"Strolled through this flea market on a Sunday afternoon. Although relatively packed, we were able to find parking within 5 minutes after paying the parking admissions fee.This flea market covers a lot of ground so wear comfortable walking shoes and bring sun protection. We didn't get to walk through the entire place but did spend some time in the produce section -- farmer's market at its finest. High quality at very low prices because the middle man mark up is removed.A lot of stalls sold apparel, household items, and almost anything you could think of. The beauty of shopping at a flea market like this is that you could find what you're looking for at competitive prices while supporting a local family's household. After all, each stall is a small business in itself.Oh, and don't visit hungry because while there are multiple food courts -- the lines will make you hangry by the time you get to the front to order.Pro tip: bring a wagon so you can put all your purchases in it as you continuing strolling. It will alleviate you and your party having to carry multiple bags.I look forward to visiting again."

VA Mather Farmers Market

★★★★☆ 4 (7) • $$

"This is a smaller market with a lot of variety. I go here pretty often. Typical vendors to can count on: fresh kettle corn, smoked salmon, specialty cheese, upper crust bread and sweets, Emma's tamales and salsa, corn nuts and dried snacks, Italian ice, honey, vegetables and fruit.Prices are what you'd expect to pay. I enjoy coming here because you can get in and out while covering all your produce needs. Parking is free and there is a veteran's memorial with flags and also a military plane in display nearby."

Natomas Farmers Market

★★★★☆ 4.1 (21) • $

"I love going to farmers market! It's for the adventure of finding some unique produce, flowers, and whatever else I might spot.I tend to shop at another one that's a lot larger and has a lot more to offer. I decided to check out my neighborhood farmers market and see what sort of goodies I could find.I love the farm to fork experience, and there were plenty of vendors representing all parts of Northern California. This is a much smaller venue then others that I'm accustomed to going to, but nonetheless, it definitely was a lot of fun. The vendors were exceptionally nice, and went out of their way to offer samples of their fruits and vegetables, and to answer any questions that we had.The variety of flowers was fun to pick through, and I ended up going home with a lovely bouquet.What I really liked other than the fresh produce, was the variety of baked goods that I'm not accustomed to seeing at other places, we're definitely here. We bought this amazing loaf of hearty wheat bread, along with some buttery croissant's.It's worth checking out!"

★★★★☆ 4 (23) • $$

"Beautiful Tuesday The farmers market is always a relaxing walk up and down a few parking rows for me. We parked pretty far away amd were able to stop by the SPCA mobile. We saw a beautiful dog dog getting adopted! It is only small few rows, farmers with their own banners, tables, and table tents. I was really hoping there would be some heirloom tomatoes...but maybe it was too early. There was still wonderful produce, kettle corn and more! We did stop to buy some lemons. They were huge! The oranges are beautiful some of the vendors even cut some of their fruit in half to show off how delicious they looked! I was amused by the love lettuce gardens, roots and all that kept live goldfish underneath. I wish I would've asked more questions...like, does the fish come with it? I'll find out for sure next time!"

"Great, fresh, picked within hours. Grew up working on my grandparents small strawberry farm and this is about as good as it gets. Big plus, super hard-working, lovely people. Spend your money here!"

Midtown Farmers Market

★★★★★ 4.5 (197) • $$

"I love the Midtown Farmers Market! It makes me feel like an adult when I wake up early on the weekends and take a stroll through the market. I was on a mission today to buy some local honey and bought a giant jar for $19 which is cheaper than you will find in stores and local is much better especially if you have allergies.The Midtown Farmers Market has literally everything! Vintage clothes, handmade goods, dog treats, an abundance of fruits and veggies, flowers, and TONS and TONS of food! We grabbed tamales during this recent trip to bring home and have for dinner.I love how huge the market is and how it has expanded in size over the years - it has grown at least 3 or 4 times since it originally opened! I could spend hours here! You can even take a break and grab a beer at one of the local businesses that line either side of the market - my favorites are Lowbrau and Alaro Brewery!I'm sure I'll be back next weekend!"

Certified California Grown Farmers Market

★★★★☆ 4 (52) • $

"For what it is, a midweek farmers market in downtown, I like this one. Firstly, I love buying the bounty that our central valley has to offer. We are so lucky to live in the fruitbowl that is California. From what I can recall the last time I went yesterday, I saw:* Pluots* Peaches* Plums* Grapes* Eggplants* Green beans* Apricots* Apples* Squash* Zucchini* Nectarines* Blueberries* Blackberries* Cucumbers* Carrots* Lavender* California native plants* ...and other stuffYou can get food for lunch too! I bought a platter of Indian food: two curries, rice and naan for $6. There is also gyros, Mexican food, kettle corn, ribs, etc.Is it just me, or does this place seem like a meat market instead of a fruit and veggie market? Lots of people checking out the wares, ifyouknowwhatImean."

PlacerGROWN Farmers’ Market

★★★★★ 4.8 (4)

"Awesome Market!All kinds of seasonal, fresh fruits, vegs, herbs!And how freakin' cool is that Pizza Truck? Wow!I wish we lived in the area so I could enjoy this on a weekly basis.Alas, we were just visitors.But we were able to get some fresh bread from Grateful Bread Company (some of the best sourdough ever!) and some fresh fruits and veg for dinner. All were incredibly tasty and make me long for the days when we lived near farm country and got fresh all the time. Now we live in desert (Vegas)... literally and figuratively... all our fresh is trucked in... we can occassionally get lucky with some fresh fruits and veg from SoCal or Central Valley but it's rare. We've started growing some of our own veg in our backyard so that has been a good substitue but the heat and wind and cold (in the winter) sometimes deter the crop."

Neighborgood Markets

★★★★☆ 4 (3)

"The new farmers market has arrived to Elk Grove! The same creators as the Midtown Farmers Market, Gather Oak Park, and more, have brought their magic to our city! You can catch the market every Thursday from 4-8pm at the Elk Grove Aquatic Center. If you've been to the other markets in town, it's pretty similar! There are vendors for food, desserts, food trucks, produce, and retail! This was their first week so there were about 5-7 food vendors such as Lumpia Truck and Sacto Pop Up Truck, Love & Macarons, Wheel Lemonade, as well as about 4-5 produce stands. There was live music, and plenty of benches, chairs, and tables to sit at! Many of them are in the sun though, so it would also be wise to just bring a picnic blanket and pick a nice spot in the shade and stay socially distanced!"

The Strawberry Patch

★★★★★ 4.5 (4) • $

"Small little mom and pop operation...yup, it's one of those roadside stands. Fresh organic strawberries picked daily and grown within site of the stand. Prices are only slightly higher than most grocery stores but the quality is unmatched. No machines here, everything by hand and with a smile. Unlike grocery store berries that are grown for shipping and shelf life, these are some of the best berries around...this also make them very delicate. And since they are pesticide free, you might have company. Sometimes their hours vary due to growing conditions. They also take orders and provide to some of the local restaurants and bakeries. Lots of parking but it's on gravel/dirt. Come in summer or fall and the produce stand next door will be open. I often swing by for corn. If you can't swing by here or it's out of your way, stop by a roadside strawberry stand in you way home. It's a completely different world from the "Costco" strawberries."

Sunday Farmers' Market

★★★★★ 4.5 (392) • $$

"I can't believe the selection or should I say competition between the different vendors. I have been to different farmers markets all over the Bay, and I have to say that this particular farmer's market is quite huuuuuge, it's really nice! It's clean, spacious, organized and again, there is a lot of selection... how do you decide who you're going to buy from? Lol. Everything from fresh veggies, produce, fruits, plants, grass-fed beef, farm fresh eggs, fresh cut flowers....you name it, it's all here! Everything looked so delicious - I highly recommend making a grocery/shopping list because you will overbuy! Everyone was practicing social distancing, which is a plus. There's tons of parking surrounding the market, huge plus. It's a lively farmer's market that I would highly recommend to everyone. I can't wait to go back for my next visit, next Sunday! Buy local; Support local farmer's, cheers!"

Oak Park Farmers Market

★★★★☆ 4.3 (41) • $

"This is a super cute farmers market! I've been here for the first time today, and it's a great spot for people to gather and buy affordable, fresh produce. I love that they also gave out goodie bags for the first 100 shoppers and there were some cool coupons, and $5 worth of farmers market bucks to spend! Unfortunately many of the coupons expired the day of, so if you don't check your bag before going home, you'll miss some deals. They also gave a bunch of arugula in the bag!Anyway, lots of produce, fresh flowers, baked goods, crafted goods, food trucks...something for everyone. I ended up getting a mangonada from Gazpachos. Overall the stuff here is very affordable!"

Rancho Cordova Certified Farmers' Market

"Excellent local farmers market. This farmers market has mostly produce, meat, cheese and flowers, unlike others that have lots crafts and chachki stuff. So this is just the basics but what they do have is excellent. We got food for the week and cubed up the meat and after marinating grilled on kabob skewers. Also the cheese with heirloom tomatoes, basil and olive oil was so fresh it was on of the best dishes ever. Love coming here on Saturday morning. Also if you want fresh, free range, non-hormone tri tip get here early because they sell out fast."

"This is take place on florin road the same shopping plaza as Sears. There are plenty of parking, and quite a variety of vendors. . Since i missed out on tuesdays farmers market, i was hoping the guy i buy the flowers from was here today. Unfortunately he wasn't there and there was no good flowers at this farmers market. Although i did discover this one vendor that sells some awesome herb plants for only a dollar and up. Take advantage of this farmers market and find those herb plants if your trying to grow your own herbs. . Lots of fruit and veggie vendors. Fruits was pretty cheap such as strawberries, cherries, plums, apricots and etc. For the veggies they had all kind, i picked up some awesome fresh beets and golden beets as well for only $1.25. I am so excited to create some beet tower and etc. . Also i picked up a basket of organic strawberries, where i thought it was expensive, but it is not and i am eating quality over quantity. Just this made me realized why i like farmers market because it is organic and i can taste the difference. . Overall this is a neat farmers market to check out on Thursday. I would start coming here for my veggies and fruits. And pretty soon i will have my own herb garden and this is where i will pick up my own herb plants. Thanks for ready and happy farm to fork!"

Farmer's Market Old Elk Grove

★★★☆☆ 3.4 (13) • $

"Thanks to my Elk Grove pals Ashley N and Judi M for giving me a great reason to drive all the way to Elk Grove ;) This farmer's market is great, and it's only getting better.Old Elk Grove really needed this boost. The setup on Sunday has your basics: kettle corn, a food truck or two, fresh veggies, local cheeses and honey and some arts and crafts. But the extras did it for me. The coffee vendor, the loose leaf tea vendor, the vegan mayo/spread vendor- all fantastic. The organic produce was also reasonably priced.Parking is not a problem. There's a small paved lot across the street from the market, or a large dirt lot directly behind.Bonus is that you're in Old Elk Grove, which means you are walking distance to a handful of good brunch and lunch spots too."

Soil Born Farms

"This is an urban hippy's paradise. I liked the place a lot.Plenty of parking, but can get a bit hairy if you're there on an event day. They offer classes and various vendors are out - Organic products and food. They also have a fire pit where you can hang out around and enjoy their vegan pastries. Their banana nut vegan muffin was delish!My girlfriend and I went on a whim to check it out. Tons of stuff to do with your kids. Loads of plants to look through. Their farmer's stand was actually on the small side, so we didn't do a whole lot of shopping. I think maybe I want to head back later in the spring to see what they have. Cool spot for kids. Not that big though, I was certainly thinking it was going to be a lot larger with more things to explore."

Nai's Berry Farm

★★★★★ 4.6 (11)

"Get the sweetest strawberries and support local farmers!These little flavor bombs will ruin you forever. If you have kids or loved ones who deserve only the best, you. come. here. It's a quality household staple and a popular party treat! Too fresh to find at a grocery store. But you can find them at certain farmers markets all summer long, including Saturdays behind country club plaza and Sundays downtown under the interstate. You can easily Google tips for storing them, but we like to put them in an air tight container lined with paper towels (unwashed)."

This will definitely be my go to for pumpkins now! The worker even helped me put all my pumpkins in my car after seeing me make multiple trips which was really nice. They even have pampas for $5 a stem! I was so excited to find these here and got a few. Beware that the leaves fly around a lot so be sure to cover it in the car."

"Been here more then a handful of times, each time gets better, weather permitting place is well spaced out next to a park, maybe 4-6 tables to sit if you get food from the chosen food trucks.The local vendors have ample choices of veggies, other vendors have soap, baked goods, a little bit of everything, juicy lady that is there serves some very refreshing drinks all fruit based iced cold. Definitely if you are in the area and are looking for veggies or fruits or random items, stop by they have a little bit of everything you would want.one of the food trucks that is there every time I have been there was India Jones, everything that I have sampled is very good, tacos are a must try, curries are also a must try, I would like spicier but for what they offer it is made just right, portion wise is also goodusually there's a taco truck but all times I have been there it is has been there maybe 3 times, solid tacos made California Street Tacos, Sacramento CA a green food truck if they are there I recommend sampling everything sometimes there is live music, guess it just depends, again this is a must visit if in the area on Sundays for good fresh produce and other items\just a side note the porta potties are not well maintained so I suggest using restroom at home before coming herefarmers market **** solid marketprice $-$$$ depends on what you getservice ***** all vendors all happy to help youambiance **** depending on the day nice to be out in this area, during winter it is really cold pack a jacket and a hat in case it rains during summer heat could be unbearable get something cold to drink or buy one of the umbrellas that one of the vendor makes"
