Modesto Certified Farmers' Market

It's always a beautiful vibe and time! Fresh produce a selection of delicious food and treats. Live music and many broad-based shops.

Came here on a January winter weekend to see what kind of selection it has in what is, admittedly, a season with limited produce. It was cold and a bit cloudy, but there was a good selection of vendors. We found winter greens, cruciferous vegetable, squashes, persimmons, nuts, dried fruits and apples. Vendors were welcoming and positive, happily gave explanations when we asked, and prices were what we see in other valley farmers markets. There were a lot of vendors with prepared foods, which we were not interested in, but they were friendly and greeted us. We'll be back next month!

I love love love modesto farmers market. When I go, I search out for fruit that's in season. Some of the best plums I ever had and peaches I found here. Pro tip you have to go early to get figs when they are in season. A few vendors sell them. There are so many delicious pastry options from multiple vendors. Another pro tip is that the bread vendor sells out early because it's that good, so get there early if you want to try some of the great bread. Lots of hot prepared food to indulge in. I love getting breakfast meals, kettlecorn, lemonade, coffee drinks, humus, and pita chips, etc.There are too many wonderful things to try. There is something for everyone. Every year, they may have new vendors and / or returning vendors that have been selling for years. It you haven't been, please go and find your new favorite thing to treat yourself with.

Absolutely loved this farmers market! Tons of selections and the prices for fresh produce are unmatched! You can get more fresh produce for less here than you can at any grocery store.

Farmers market is always fun specially when it's good weather and not too hot outside. Everything is organic and they sell fresh fruit and vegetables along with homemade items like soap treats coffee hummus, mushroom made products. With markets like these we can source local food and eat more healthy. I don't think I've ever had any problems or trouble walking through the farmers market. I definitely give it five stars. If anyone's in town on the days they're holding this market. I would suggest to go look at what they got. Most of the booths are just some Ables or fruit in the bag bring it up to the front for you and tell you how much you owe. I believe the days they're open is Thursday and Saturday probably early in the morning till about 1 or 2 o'clock. Even though it says dogs are not welcome. It looks like people do walk their dogs at the farmers market. It kind of gets annoying if you're someone with allergies. The only thing I would change about the farmers market is I would block off another street and make it bigger and offer more crafts and homemade items on that other side.

Green onions to make any veggie or meal awesome, Honey from local bees, duck eggs from really obviously happy/healthy ducks seriously if you haven't tried duck eggs yet the shell is like a dinosaur plus they are nutritious af. Local nuts and fresh figs and other fruits to help you pewp, picked that AM. The pickle guy does all his own canning, and the produce is so good I buy bagfuls and give them away to people as gifts. Peaches and Nectarines are the fruits of the Gods. I don't eat much of the "ready to eat" noms, but they smell hella good.It's really cool to see the field trips arrive with their chaperones. They love seeing my dog who's super friendly and trained.I wish there was more masking and sanitizer available, but that's just me I actually care about your health. I'm leaving a ton out but the Farmers Market is an experience, and you can't really find that anywhere. Even if you buy a radish or a pack of raw almonds or jar of pickled garlic bag of kettle corn with a porterhouse steak it's a good day. Live music too! #supportlocalbusines

First time I've been to the Modesto Farmers Market in many years. I really like the vendors, the market size and the location. If I lived closer, I'd be a regular patron.

Seasonal markets Thursday (until week before Thanksgiving) and Saturday (until week before Christmas). It's fairly small, but there are still plenty of samples so it makes a good stroll before lunch when you are hungryThursday is smaller, there are usually 1-2 fruit and vegetables vendors (the vegetable guy has surprisingly good produce, sweetest cauliflower ever), a cheese guy, baked goods, bolani, hummus heaven, tamales (recommend) and a few prepared food vendor.Tip: Come half an hour before closing (12:30PM) to get the best deal

I happened to stroll by this vibrant and exciting produce market today with my co-worker while leaving the hospital in downtown. We stopped by and to my surprise this is a gem in Modesto (imho)! So much to see, taste and buy when it comes to fruits, vegetables and even food items for lunch! It was around lunch time and we stopped by one of the booths that sold pupusas! We ordered the chicken and pork pupusa and a couple booths down was the agua frescas! We got sandia and jamaica... DDDDDelicious!! It was from the Oaxacan place that also sold molotes (masa balls with chorizo, mozzarella cheese and potato)... It was so good! You'll be blown away by the diversity of food you'll find here. From Salvadoreãn food to Chinese, to organic almond butter, to cherries and beets. It's not just food you'll see here also straw bags, and other unique trinkets.Check them out every Thursday and enjoy the music, the smell of good food and the family-friendly atmosphere!

I grew up going to this Farmers' Market and then loading up on books at the library next door. After enjoying many Farmers' Markets in southern California and other places in the West, this is a really solid one for a quiet city like Modesto. It's got variety and liveliness and locals seem to really support it.You have the classic local produce vendors (with lots of variety and organic options), plus fresh meats, cheese, honey, nuts, local olive oil, jewelry and handmade items, plants, a few bakeries (some specializing in traditional breads and pastries, ones with Mexican baked goods). There are some food stands that change (sometimes papusas, Oaxacan with fresh tamales, pad thai, hot dogs, popcorn, shaved ice, coffee shop) where you can grab a hot lunch or drink on the go. There is always live music, everyone has generous samples to try, and there are lots of strollers and people chatting. Open Thursdays and Friday mornings every week from Easter to Thanksgiving (about March/April to November). It's on 16th St between H and I from 8am-1pm both days. Bring cash, though some vendors take credit cards. Easy parking in the library parking lot or on the street if it gets busy. Dogs aren't allowed by the health department. Love this market and you should too - support local businesses!
