Farmers’ Markets in the Greater Sacramento Area | Updated (2018)

Please note: This post was updated in April 2018 to reflect this year’s farmers’ market schedule! 

As America’s Farm-to-Fork Capital, Sacramento has an overwhelming number of farmers’ markets in and around the city. They vary in size, vendors, and of course location, but each shares a common goal: To provide fresh produce and products straight from the hands of local farmers and makers to the community.

You may know about a few of these major markets, but might not realize a smaller market exists right in your community. So check out our interactive map to find the corresponding market on the list below with date and time information!

Make these markets part of your weekend routine this summer! There’s nothing quite like cooking a meal at home with local produce cared for and cultivated with the utmost integrity.
