I've been a Reviewer for a long time, and it takes a lot to truly blow me away, but my first trip…read moreto the Chico Farmers Market yesterday did exactly that. If you care about regenerative agriculture and nutrient density, this is the gold standard for Northern California. The absolute standout for me was MyHarvestValley.com . I'm a huge advocate for soil health, and their regenerative walnuts are a masterclass in what happens when you treat the land right. You can actually taste the difference, it's not just a snack; it's high-quality fuel. I ended up spending quite a bit of time there just appreciating the transparency of their process. Beyond the walnuts, the entire market is a treasure trove: The Meat & Produce: I was struck by the selection of properly raised meats and organic produce. Finding proteins raised with this much integrity is rare, and the variety of healthy eating choices made it easy to load up for the week. The Nursery Finds: I didn't expect to be scouted for my garden, but I saw some of the prettiest Japanese maple starts I've ever laid eyes on. The health and structure of those starts were stunning. The Vibe: It's rare to find a market that balances such a wide variety of specialty goods while maintaining that authentic, community-focused energy. This isn't just a place to shop; it's where you go to support the people doing the hard work of regenerative farming. I'm officially a regular.

Wonderful farmers market…read more EBT!!! First thing I have to mention, ebt is amazing here. Compared to Old Oakland farmers market which had a VERY long line for the ebt exchange. Over here, there was not a single line. The lady also explains to you how the ebt works but I can explain as well from what I understand. The lady will ask you how much you want to exchange, this is wherr I dont understand too much but she mentions a limit of 15$ and you can go over the limit but it goes over? Im not sure. I just did 15$. She gives you the device, you swipe, she gives you receipt and the coins.... AND some bills. Each coin and each bill is equal to 1 dollar. And idk if this was an accident but I swiped 15$, on my acc, lost 15$, but she gave me 15$ in coins AND 15$ in bills. So anyways, if this isnt a mistake, this means ebt gives you twice as much as you pay for in farmers market The bills as she explains it, only works on fruits and veggies. The coins work on anything that isnt a hot food. Lots of places to buy some fruits. Some places had a lot huge selection of heirloom tomatoes while some smaller selection. 2 stalls that sold figs. Of course no shortage of fruits and veggies over here For hot foods, tamale stall that also sold other dishes, burrito truck, empanada stall, They also have a coffee stall cause of course. Apparently people talk about chai tea, idk exactly where it is but I did see people walking with a light colored drink. The crowds arent as bad as people mention. I went on Saturday in the morning at 10am. Still a lot of people but as someone who's been to Shibuya Japan, its nothing at all. There are 4 long lanes to walk on and each surrounded by stalls I couldnt show it in the pic but I also bought a fruit danish for 5$ that I ate as I walked around. Absolutely delicious danish, the bread part was crispy outside but cheey inside. (Usually grocery stores danish can be more on the softer side) 5/5 ebt totally worth it

I shop here all the time, however I've not been thrilled with them lately. Charging for plastic…read morebags when I bring my own bags in. They are charging $.10 here and there and it adds up. It is annoying because no one wants to complain about $.10 or $.30 on the bill . Safeway charged $.30 yesterday for bags I did not receive , because I brought my own in. Stop doing that Safeway! Please check your receipts ...am I the only one this is happening to? probably not. grrr. Also, I never donate when they ask, because they get to write it off on their taxes! I'll donate myself and write it off on MY taxes, thank you. And how many times have I checked out and seen the full price for a sale item. This is getting too much.

I would rate safeway 0 stars given the chance but on yelp you are required to give at least one…read morepity star. I went to the deli with my wife to get a BLT and from the moment i saw the deli, i knew i was f'ed. Immediately i saw at least 5 different health code violations. I was served bread from an uncovered basket of dusty nonsense! Then i noticed the friggin onion mixed in with the cold, uncovered bacon! Then when this fool gets the avocado i asked for, it was brown. Sickening. I also saw the sandwich sinner use the same spoon he used to scoop the avocado for spreading chipotle sauce. Honestly, once I received my sandwich and walked away, I was too afraid to eat the food that i hid my sandwich in the cat litter isle. DO NOT EAT HERE UNLESS ABSOLUTELY NEEDED

Visited June 18 2026. See my receipt…read more When in Chico I always try to stop here. Fresh fruits and vegetables! I specifically came in to get Picanha meat. It's a cut of meat from Brazil. It has a thick fat cap that my boyfriend likes. IT IS DIFFICULT TO FIND! If you get their grass fed one it will run about 17 bucks. If you go for the regular one it will only cost about 6.50. I love this place! Sushi...coffee shop..made to order pizzas..hot breakfast station..deli..nice wines..etc. The employees are always super nice! Best of all is that they have outside seating for pets and will allow well behaved small dogs inside while you are shopping! Ps. My boyfriend had me go back in and get 2 more grass fed picanha steaks for the freezer! He is Argentinian !

Overall, I really love this store. They have a fantastic selection of pretty much everything... all…read morethings organic, a fantastic selection of sushi, their vegetables are pretty supreme, I really love all their cold case items and their Cosmetics section is amazing. The one thing I discovered I do not like is their stuffing. I didn't want to make stuffing this year for the holiday so I purchased the premade stuffing from the hot bar. Unfortunately, it was the most disgusting, bland, beyond tasteless mushy air (lol yes, REALLY) food I have ever tasted. That's all I did was taste it, and threw it straight in the trash. What a waste of money, and it wasn't cheap! I could've bought three boxes of stuffing for the price I paid for this one portion. I guess that's what I get for being lazy. Next year, I'll definitely make the stuffing on my own. With that being said, that might be the only downside to the store. Now you know, don't buy the stuffing, it's nasty. Lucky for them, that's the only nasty thing in the store, everything else is absolutely amazing. If you're finicky about everything you put into and onto your body, this is a great place to go shopping, you're sure to find everything you need. 4 stars!

Love coming here. Our cashier was very friendly too!!! This is my go to Trader Joe's to shop at. The store was neat and clean.

An excellent store…read more I was on a road trip through California. The store was clean, well stocked, not too busy and the food was delicious. I was on a budget and stayed and shopped in a smaller, nearby town, Corning. However, I like Trader Joes and gave this store a try, glad I did. Pros - clean - easy parking - reasonable prices, for a store of this quality. - this and WinCo seem to be the better stores, not just for Chico, but within an hours drive. Con - Are Trader Joe's over priced? If I was moving to this area, I would live and shop in a smaller town, such as Corning or Orland. Then I would be saving money on housing and food.

My debit card was locked out. I have a hearing disability and Derrick the store manager assisted me…read morein resetting my PIN number. I would not have been able to accomplish the task with the background noise in the store. Thank you , Derrick!

It's hot and muggy in there. Never in my life have I been into a grocery store that wasn't chilly…read moreand that's what people in this area want when it gets disgusting like it is now, with the above 90 temperatures. Heck! I go into grocery stores just to get some sweet relief for 20 or 30 minutes but WinCo is not that place. I literally have to see how it is outside to know if that today I can go into WinCo because there's no relief in there. Normally at the very least you get to the produce section and it's nice and chilly but not here. I have to fan myself when I am in there if it is above 90 out and I decided yesterday that's it, I'll just stick to Smart and Final that has similar to identical prices in Oroville where I live, unless it's under $85 outside and I'm already in chico, no more WinCo until then.

I love this place so much. I moved from a place that had Asian stores everywhere to only two in…read moreChico--quite a culture shock for me. The store is ran by an older Asian couple, and they stock everything from instant noodles, snacks, non-alcoholic drinks, fresh produce, and all the condiments and sauces that you might need. They have a surprisingly large inventory for a small store, and there's more to look through in the freezer section. Aside from some niche vegetables, I've had no problems finding stuff I need to cook Filipino food and more.

I scored the ingredients to make Lao egg rolls, as well as a basket of fresh veggies, fish sauce, chili sauce , dried wood ear mushrooms, and a whole fish.

I've been shopping at this location for 15-20 years. Since the Us Foods takeover, the experience…read morehas become frustrating to say the least! The products my business has purchased on a regular basis are often out of stock for multiple weeks/months. The checkout process has become a slow agonizing ordeal and there are typically several mistakes made upon review. I currently spend less than half of what I used to spend due to lack of availability of my regularly purchased items. Since Jerry passed away, the weight of this mess has clearly landed on two individuals that I've known and worked with for a long time (Brandon and Mike) They are still stellar representatives of what this company needs MUCH more of. Two men can only accomplish so much and they work their butts off! They are the only reason that I'm giving 2 stars. This store did not need to spend so much time and money with the recent remodel. The energy could have been much better served building an efficient store that was perhaps not quite as short staffed and maybe just a little bit outdated. What a wreck this place has turned into!!

This grocery store/food facility should implement and enforce a dog-free policy…read more I was in and witnessed a dog, with no service animal vest, sniff and graze its nose across tomatoes and avocados. This is not sanitary by health code standards. Dogs carry pathogens that can spread to food and cause illness. I expressed my concern to staff and they stated they were unsure of their dog policy, but would relay this to a manager. I hope that my concern is taken into consideration.
