Farmers markets in Sacramento

Did you know? The Sacramento area is about 40% farmland, and brought in about $455 million worth in produce in 2020. We even have a whole festival dedicated to celebrating our year-round food and agricultural feats – Sacramento’s Farm-to-Fork Festival .

Given Sacramento’s history, it should go without saying that of course we have some of the best farmers markets in the country – maybe even the world, but now we’re just getting ahead of ourselves.

We’ve compiled a list of farmers markets in the Greater Sacramento area to make sure you get your fix of fresh produce, local art + more.
