PlacerGROWN Farmers Market

This place is way OVER PRICED! Don't get me wrong I know the hard work it takes to get the ground ready to plant and grow crops, but when you start selling a dozen eggs for $9 & a specialty seedless watermelon for $15 the line must be drawn. I personally have been on the hunt for a seeded watermelon (I feel it to be more natural than one not having seeds) all of which I found next door at whole foods for $8 instead of the Farmer's Market for $15!. Now I will not discredit everyone one tent had JUMBO cucumbers for $1/ea that was a steal I got a few and another stand had Beautiful puprle onions for $4/bunch. Will I go back not likely.

Do not buy the strawberries. They scam you by putting all of the nice strawberries on top and rotten mushy black strawberries under them. Disgusting to treat community this way.

This farmer's market is held on Tuesday in The Fountains parking lot. There is a variety of produce, hot food, baked goods and live music. I wish it would be bigger with more produce options. My favorite farmer's market in our area is the one held every Saturday on Sunrise Blvd and Folsom Blvd. We have started coming to Placer Grown Farmer's Market at The Fountains because we moved to Rocklin.

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!

The Foothill Farmer's Market jumps around from Auburn to Tahoe to Rocklin, and most recently I spotted it in Roseville (!) in The Fountains parking lot out in front of the Whole Foods. A farmer's market in Roseville? Omg. I don't know about y'all, but I grew up eating iceberg lettuce. Yes, Roseville was an iceberg lettuce sort of town.It's so great to see the small farmers out in full force, selling their fresh, organic persimmons and asian pears and butternut squash at twice the size and half the price. Walking down the long row of friendly vendors, I also spotted cheeses and honey and teas.Their roaming schedule is on their site (http://www.foothillfarmersmarket.com/Home.html). If Ikeda's is closed on the way to Tahoe, consider hitting up the farmer's market instead. Not that a squash can really replace Ikeda's big juicy burgers or homemade pies...

I came across Foothill Farmers Market on a Tuesday at The Fountains parking lot near Whole Foods. Open year round.It's a small area and almost all the vendors had bright banners up and visible. In the center of it all, there was a crepe stand and a wood fire pizza stand. In addition, some days I find a lot of vendors with pre-made homemade food like tamales, Indian food, or organic lasagna and other dishes as well as homemade crafts. It seems like more of that than fresh produce..

I love bringing my little guy to our Tuesday farmer's market! He has a blast saying Hi to the farmers that offer him samples of their just picked berries. He recently scored a huge bag of popcorn when the vendor heard me tell him we'd get it next week. Well, kettle corn guy, you just got yourself a regular customer. Thanks!We try to get there early enough to have breakfast so we can snack our way around the square. Then we prepare for 2nd breakfast & have a picnic near the kids interactive fountain in front of the pet food store. Juicy berries, cinnamon muffins & some kickass roasted garlic hummus is waaaay better than a bowl of cereal in my opinion. If you have a little time to spare you should check it out. I will.

Be sure to search out "Father and Son Farm".It's a family business.They work very hard to provide absolutely the highest quality fruits and vegetables.Don't take my word for it Just a heads up check it out yourself.Good eats.Dave knows what he's doing!Good people.

A small Farmers market but they have some good produce and organic options too. They also sell baked goods, meats, Mexican food, kettle corn, etc. During the summer, the local orchards sell peaches and nectarines.

This is a year round market(Every Tuesday 8:30-12:30), this means that sometimes the selection is kinda sparse. When it's growing season though it is spectacular! Fresh, local produce, most of the vendors aren't organic certified(some are) but many of them don't use pesticides. Besides fresh produce, you can get AMAZING fresh bread and pastries from the Baker and the Cakemaker, yummy wood fired pizzas and super delicious fresh salsa and tamales!I love the kettle corn when they are there, my only wish is that they would do a 1/2 carmel 1/2 kettle corn bag, its sometimes nice to have a little of both.Some places take credit cards but most are cash only . There isn't any ATM or bank in The Fountains either but you can get cash back at Whole Foods.
