As of 11/19/25, which is early season, you can buy a 4 lb bag for $10. While I was there, one farmer was sorting the oranges out by size. Apparently, the medium ones are the most popular. You could buy small ones for $1.50 per pound. Mandarins were attractive and juicy. Update: It's the sweetest and easiest to peel of the three different bags I bought on 11/19/25. Blue Goose Produce is associated with Westview Growers. If I remember correctly, there are 1500 mandarin orange trees in their orchards, so you can buy mandarins there until April! Farmers are friendly and informative to chat with. In October 2025, I believe I spoke with the owner Mark about the Blue Goose decor. One antiquities specialist soon found him a large metallic goose after he requested it. He painted it dark blue himself. This goose gets outfit changes to match the holiday! His family has been collecting blue goose decor over many years, which you can find throughout the store. I learned that a female goose can just be called a goose. A male goose is a gander, and Gander Taphouse is in the same plaza. Yesterday I learned that mandarin oranges taste better a day or longer after they have been picked. It takes time for them to sweeten. You can find a variety of local farm goods here, such as honey, scented candles, Earth & Vine products, local Newcastle Mandarin Ranch products, and Petaluma Creamery cheeses. You can buy pies here. I might call ahead to ask about available flavors. You can find limited produce here. I've bought a large tomato, finger grapes, and a ruby grapefruit here. Fuyu and Hachiya Persimmons are currently in season and look beautiful. Prices resemble that of a farmers market. If you like to support local farms, please stop by Blue Goose Produce.

Although, it was a bit of a drive for us coming from Sacramento/Elk Grove we were able to maximize our time there. The strawberry farm is family owned and located not too far from other businesses in the area if you wanted to find something to eat or find somewhere else to hang out afterwards. There was a food truck, Laopino, that had delicious lumpias, music, a bubble machine, plus a few games and activities to keep the little ones occupied, and shaded tables to enjoy your fresh harvests. :) Tickets are only available online. Weekend tickets are released on Thursdays at 7 pm. When choosing our date and time it shows we only had an hour to pick but really we got to take our time and enjoy our morning. I feel they show you have a one hour slot to help stagger guests in. I love how they had a little gift shop set up, another tent with fresh flowers, drinks, and beautiful cookies at the register to purchase. The strawberry fields had plenty to choose from. We saw lots of bright red ones varying from all sizes. The staff also informed us there were 6 types of strawberries being grown! My kids enjoyed only for a short while and mainly wanted to stay in the kid area. There are also plenty of photo ops on the farm too! We would absolutely return in the future. Highly recommend!

The markets are located from Truckee to Roseville and include seasonal markets, such as this one, as well as year round markets. This market is Saturdays only from June 6-November 21, 8:30am-12:30pm. There is a year round market a few miles away in Roseville in the Whole Foods Market parking lot (at the Fountains on Galleria Blvd. & East Roseville Parkway from 8:30am - 1pm on Tuesdays) . There are typically around twenty vendors at this Rocklin market. All of the produce is sold by the growers themselves so you can really get the inside scoop on their products and how they are grown. There are also items available like fresh baked breads, cookies and even tamales. On this visit there was also a fresh flower vendor, honey vendor and even some live acoustic entertainment. When you buy an item from any of the vendors you can also get a ticket to enter a weekly drawing to win a free item from RC Wiiley. This week's giveaway was for a mini-fridge. Overall, it's a nice little pop-up and I can always count on finding some flavorful items fresh from the farm. On this visit I was on the hunt for some cherry tomatoes and found some tasty little gems grown by Willow Creek Ranch in Penryn. They were well balanced between sweet and acidic...yummy summer goodness!

You can see them packing bags of oranges. Currently, you can buy 5 lb for $10 or 10 lb for $20. Mandarins are juicy and sweet. You may be able to buy other fresh farm produce here, such as lemons, Cara Cara oranges, blood oranges, or walnuts. You can find products from other local farms, like honey or Newcastle Mandarin Ranch sauces. You can pay by credit card. It's easy to spot the signage and drive to Willow Creek Ranch on English Colony Way, part of the Mandarin Trail. Good luck competing in the upcoming 2025 Mountain Mandarin Festival!

When mandarins are in season, you can pretty much be assured that what you're buying here is no more than a day or two from being picked from the trees. It's the end of the season now, and I picked up probably one of the last 10 pound bags they'll be offering for now. Even though it was end of season, the mandarins are just the way I like them - the best variety (in my opinion) - easy to peel, seedless, juicy. So glad I have something like this nearby!

No line, towards end of the meet and greet? Daughter was a baby then and we got some cute photos. Farmers market: Tons of stalls. Generally good prices. . Food options: There's chinese, popcorn, pizza, tacos, coffee/ smoothies... we usually get some tacos. Tacos by the farmers market were $3.50ea i think, tasted good, somewhat fast. Also got horchata $5, delicious in the heat. Could be colder. The pizza place took forever though, wouldn't get again Flea market: hugeeee. Haven't bought too much bc we don't usually need anything. Have bought a sun hat for hubby, a fruit picker. Tons of clothes shoes toys, random used stuff, plants. They even have livestock auctions some days. Parking: i think it used to be $3 on weekends now $5. Restrooms: available. Have used once. Don't remember. Most places take credit but some are cash only. They do have ATMs. Overall very lively, typically crowded, would go more often if closer (about 20-25min away)

Some vendors only accept cash so make sure you have that at hand as well as small change. It's also a good idea to bring some type of wheeled bag or wagon because the produce have great prices but can be super heavy. Their website does say you are allowed to negotiate prices, so ask away! They have things there from fresh produce, mini kids rides, and lots of different kinds of nicknacks! ( clothes, power tools, rugs, kitchen appliances, etc) There was a live band playing, so it made walking around so leisurely. Lots of new and used, old and "fake" items, so just be aware. Definitely a fun place to walk around in and take the family.

Even though there were only 15 reviews, they were all excellent so I decided to take a chance. Boy, I am so glad I did! Of course, the chocolates (I ordered the large box of Bon-bons and highly recommend them.) are top notch and the colors are beautiful. I think other reviews cover this so I will focus on everything else. The owner (woman owned, yes, please) could not have been more gracious when I contacted her mid afternoon for a gift I needed within a couple of hours. These are custom chocolates, frequently sold out, I was lucky they were available. In addition, I was having one of those days when I seemed to be incapable of doing anything efficiently, and was really stressed and anxious because I'm the newest daughter in law and wanted to nail this whole birthday gift thing. In short, by the time I spoke with her, I was heading towards hot-mess territory. This woman was so kind, understanding and (so very, very) patient that I actually felt calmer after we spoke. Beyond that, the presentation box was elegant (each chocolate nestled inside like a little jewel) and placed in a simple white gift bag with a tasteful satin bow tied jauntily around the handles. But the best part, for me, was a lovely note composed by the owner that was better than anything I could have written myself. Plus, she printed it with purple ink because I mentioned that was MIL's favorite color. I mean, does it get better? So, definitely, going back for future chocolate needs. Hopefully not the day of, next time.
