PlacerGROWN Farmers’ Market

20 or so vendors. Happily they are almost all food items. May 2024: Bought a dozen bags of gorgeous and tasty salad greens and root vegetables. 3 bakeries (of course you want to get bread from the baker and cook booth.Just a few jewelry/ ceramics/soaps and potions sellers. Shortest walk to get in is by parking at the old courthouse then use the pedestrian walkway right at the traffic light intersection. It's somewhat steep so physically handicapped might want to go around the long way.

On Saturday morning hubby and I decided to take a roadtrip out to this farmer's market after seeing it was one of the top must sees to visit in Auburn! It's a small farmers market, but still a lot of great vendors including 2 of my personal favorites, Greatful Bread and Zena Foods! The market also had booths selling fresh brewed coffee, tempting looking packaged teas, bakery items, cheese, spices and of course lots of fresh produce and for all those boujee folks out there, yes even eggs! You cannot leave less than 5 stars for bringing this market to the community that helps support small local businesses and farmers! We ended up purchasing some Chive Pockets for breakfast. After seeing a woman frying up this delicious looking option at Han-Yu Taiwanese Food we knew we had to try it! What are they? A traditional Chinese chive pie or flat dumpling, it was filled with fresh chicken, egg, rice noodles and chive. She asked if we wanted sauce for dipping and I'm sure glad we said yes, because it's VERY good and gave just the right amount of oomph the pocket needed! My hubby absolutely loved his! I would recommend this farmer's market and I'd return! You can find more farmer's markets in Placer County at @liveplacergrown on Instagram! SYOY! :-)

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.

Located in downtown auburn and was near my hotel. Nice selection of organic produce. Plenty of parking on street or near by business Parking lots. There were a few choices for food , coffee, pizza , couple of bakeries and Asian.
