It’s no secret that Sacramento is America’s Farm-to-Fork Capital. After all, it’s surrounded by fertile farmland – citrus ranches in Placer County, almond orchards in Yolo, vineyards in El Dorado. With so much fresh food grown and produced right in our own backyard, it’s no wonder there are so many farmers markets in and around the greater Sacramento area.

But farmers markets offer much more than just fresh produce. Many also offer gourmet foods such as olive oil, cheese and honey. Some have pasture-raised meat and sustainable seafood. Others have textiles, jewelry and handmade beauty products. Paired with food trucks and live music, a trip to the farmers market can turn into a fun outing for the whole family.

We’ve taken the guesswork out of finding the right farmers market for you with the following interactive map. From downtown Sacramento to Auburn, Placerville to Woodland, there are plenty of places to meet your local farmers and take home the fruits of their labor.
