This is one of four El Dorado County's certified farmers market. For the 2022 season, it runs from…read more5/7/22 through 10/29/22 every Saturday 8am-12pm in the far parking lot of the Regal movie theater on Placerville Drive. It is a simpler, smaller, compact farmers market compared to Sacramento Downtown or Midtown. It had a nice variety of vendors. The Saturday I dropped by, they were selling produce, frozen fish, flowers, plants, nuts, baked goods, breads, kettle corn, artisan soap, honey, and jewelry. Some of the vendors were... Thao Ranch of Galt, CA: This small family run farm sells fresh produce. Some of the offerings were fresh dill, sweet snap peas, carrots, red onions, squash, leeks, beets, chard... some other items I can not remember off hand. The produce looked all so beautiful and were vibrantly colored. The carrots, beets, and onions still had their green tops on. Fresh. Plus they sold flowers. Beautiful bouquets of fresh flowers $12-15. Huge full gorgeous bouquets. Professional looking. Grateful Bread of Fair Oaks, CA: I was ecstatic to see their booth. I use to live near the bakery (an actual bakery where they made the goods right in the shop). I would drive or bike on over, my faves were the muesli bread and olive n feta cheese loaf. They have some of the best bread I have ever eaten... mmm. They were selling baguette (sourdough and French), cinnamon raisin bread, jalapeño n cheese bread, muesli bread, slider rolls, dinner rolls, cinnamon rolls, coffee cake, banana nut loaf, burger buns, ciabatta rolls, cookies (chocolate chip, peanut butter, oatmeal raisin) and a bunch more. These are all fresh made and not chuck full of preservatives like store shelf bread. I bought a bag of a dozen slider buns $5. Chick's Kettle Corn: Good stuff. Fresh made kettle corn straight from the kettle. He makes it earlier in the day and bags it. I bought a small bag $6. Nature's Nuts: The owner sources the nuts from Ripon and Modesto farms. I spoke to him for a bit. He is quite engaging and quite knowledgeable about nuts (nutritional value, storage, flavoring). No BSing.He sold walnuts, almonds, and pistachios in the shell sold unflavored or flavored. I bought a bag of 8 oz honey smoked almonds. Yum! I was able to sample. The walnuts were so fresh and had an excellent sweet earthy taste. Pat's Pastries: Home based business selling baked goods. Irish soda bread, whole grain bread, chive n cheese biscuits, zucchini pineapple bread, pumpkin ginger bread, gluten free pound cake and zucchini bread... were just some of her offerings. Malik Brothers: They sell various flavors of papadum, chips, rotis, and naan. Each come in a variety of flavors. Roti is a flatbread, made from stoneground whole wheat, originating from India. Ruby's Ranch: They are a farmstead selling all organic produce. Their booth sold a variety of lettuce. It looked all so fresh and vibrant.

How can you say no to locally grown farm fresh fruits and vegetables?…read more I found out about Saturdays PLACERGROWN Farmers' Market by attending the Sutter Faith Farmers Market that happens on Thursdays. There are about twice the vendors here than at Auburn Faith. So let's see what we can get into! I picked up Leah around 9 a.m. and after waiting for her to finish getting ready, we pulled into the parking lot by 9:15. The parking lot is near the beautiful courthouseand was full. There is some street parking available and some parking a little farther away in downtown Auburn. It was a gorgeous morning for a walk. There were so many people! Some had their wagons filled with produce, eggs, crafts. They were walking their dogs... I even saw a few kids on leashes! As we walked up and saw, we were two very excited women to spend some money! We started with Rodriguez farms. They have BEAUTIFUL! GORGEOUS!! THE MOST AMAZING LOOKING STRAWBERRIES I HAVE EVER LAID EYES ON!! They looked so perfect, I most certainty had to get some. For $23, I picked up 3 over filled baskets... yes, it did seem expensive... but these strawberries were gorgeous, red throughout, and sweet. Worth every penny! Next, we were at Natural Trading Co, and they have organic produce. They were also pulling out so the stops with watermelon being displayed sliced open. Gorgeous fresh herbs in bundles... the sunflowers looked like they couldn't have been real, but they were (one of my favorite flowers). There were chili's and peppers, flowers.. and much more produce. It was a different vibe than next door, but they had a lot of produce Rodriguez farms didn't have. The mushroom tent was pretty amazing because they were showcasing their mushrooms and had information that described what each of their mushrooms tasted like... they've got one that tastes like chicken!!! That woman was fun and making deals as we were reading up. Next, the popular Zena foods! I have already had the pleasure of purchasing Zena Foods hummus before and the spicy and lemon dill I bought last time were so good, I decided to buy more on this visit. This man has every flavor available for you to sample. Do not hesitate to try a sample. If you check out the pics below, the sample is not some tiny thing. On this visit, I bought 2 regular hummus, 1 spicy, 1 jalapeno orange, and one that dip that had grape leaves wrapped about a flavored rice. When you buy 4, you get the 5th one free. Yum Yum Yum!!!!! The kettle corn tent was out here, too, but a about $3 more at this location than at Auburn Faith for the same size... I still have some leftover on my counter at home from my last trip to the midtown farmers market. Bella Familia was out there with their food truck making fresh wood fired pizzas. Maria's Mexican tacos was out there, too. If I didn't have to go to work right after, I might have stayed for tacos! We were walking out of this Farmers Market close to 10:15 a.m. and there were fresh eggs at the very end. Fortunately for him, he had sold out (unfortunate for us). This was a very successful Farmers market trip. Rodriguez Farms strawberries and Zenna Foods hummus and dips were the big highlight of my trip today. I am so excited to go back tomorrow and replenish my dips and strawberries!

On Saturday morning hubby and I decided to take a roadtrip out to this farmer's market after seeing…read moreit was one of the top must sees to visit in Auburn! It's a small farmers market, but still a lot of great vendors including 2 of my personal favorites, Greatful Bread and Zena Foods! The market also had booths selling fresh brewed coffee, tempting looking packaged teas, bakery items, cheese, spices and of course lots of fresh produce and for all those boujee folks out there, yes even eggs! You cannot leave less than 5 stars for bringing this market to the community that helps support small local businesses and farmers! We ended up purchasing some Chive Pockets for breakfast. After seeing a woman frying up this delicious looking option at Han-Yu Taiwanese Food we knew we had to try it! What are they? A traditional Chinese chive pie or flat dumpling, it was filled with fresh chicken, egg, rice noodles and chive. She asked if we wanted sauce for dipping and I'm sure glad we said yes, because it's VERY good and gave just the right amount of oomph the pocket needed! My hubby absolutely loved his! I would recommend this farmer's market and I'd return! You can find more farmer's markets in Placer County at @liveplacergrown on Instagram! SYOY! :-)

Come meet your local farmers! My favorite saying is,"you know your doctor (you see once a year),…read moreyou know dentist (you see twice a year), why don't you know your farmer?" You eat everyday, don't you? I moved my family from the Bay and living up here in NorCal for nearly 4 years. In the area, we visited all the smaller Farmer's Markets like Fair Oaks (Sunrise and Old Town), Carmichael (year round), and Folsom (year round). Cameron Park is by far the smallest but still has great produce! Organics or no-pesticides here are the BEST deal anywhere. The only drawback is this market is seasonal and opens from May to October. That, and we haven't seen local honey yet. So, come on down (or up depending on where you are)!

This market hours is 8am to 1pm and takes up an entire corner of the outside space with plenty of FREE parking in the lot in front. There are many vendors that offer fresh fruits, vegetables, farm meats, cookies, desserts, plant based options, dog treats, jewelry and so much more. I was able to stroll through on a nice breezy morning before the CA heat arrived. Each of the vendors set their own pricing but often will make deals if you buy multiple or in bulk. Many of the fruit and vegetable vendors have clean, cut samples for their customers to "try before you buy" so you can really sample their quality. The middle vendors offer coffee, lemonade, matcha or other cold drinks as well as hot food options (cinnamon rolls, bagels, breakfast sandwiches, empanada filled pies.

They also shut down multiple streets during the market, so be aware that you may get redirected depending on which way you're driving in or leaving. There are lots of pet dogs everywhere, so consider yourself warned. If you're not a dog person, this might not be your vibe. But if you are, it's such a fun place to see the cutest dogs of all different breeds, or even bring your own along. They have so many vendors, from fresh flowers, produce, and meats to local organizations, museums, live music, and, most importantly, food. I love the variety of food you can try, and there are plenty of samples throughout the market. They also have a small kiddie play area, which is a nice bonus if you're bringing little ones. Just be prepared because it gets hot, there is no seating, and people can sometimes be rude or get a little too close in the crowds. That's pretty typical anywhere with a large gathering, though. Overall, I really like this specific farmers market because there's so much to see and do that it's actually worth making a trip out for. This was my first time here and won't be my last.
