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

After trying other CSAs in the area I came across Riverdog Farm from a newsletter sent out by my…read morefavorite pork butcher, Fatted Calf. $20 a week for organic produce, why not give it a shot. So I paid for a month in advance (you pay by check either by the month or the quarter) and waited for my first pick up. Fortunately there are a few options for picking up your box in Napa (check their website to see if there's one nearby you) including one only a mile away from our home. Yeah! The pickup location, at least in my area, is in someone's carport which is fairly typical of CSAs, thank goodness for volunteers. Just verify your pick up by signing the clipboard by your name, grab your box or unload it into your own bags (if you take the box return it in your next visit) then prepare to be wowed by the amazing produce. Each week is a little but different and changes along with the season. What's always in the box is the most beautiful organic produce I've ever seen. This weeks box had a bunch of gorgeous rainbow chard which was sautéed along with Fatted Calf sweet sausage served on top of Model bread with poached eggs. Best chard ever! I've posted a few pics of the last few boxes, judge for yourself, Riverdog Farm is amazing. It doesn't get any better than this. PS... They also raise organic fed hogs and chickens. Picked up my first pork share (delivered along with my regular box pick up) and the cuts look so tasty. Can not wait to braise the fresh hocks. Check their website for a complete list of pork share offerings.

I haven't written a single Yelp review since the Great Pandemic began. I would like to return to…read moreYelp, starting now, writing thankful and positive reviews for establishments that have come through for all of us in a time of crisis. Let's start with Riverdog! I was pretty confident that I'd written about Riverdog in the past and was somewhat shocked to see that I praised only their eggs in my short initial review. Yes, the eggs are great, and everyone knows it. But I can make a long, long list of Riverdog products that consider to be top notch: green garlic, raw chickens, pork chops, carrots, daikons, asparagus tips, onions, black radishes, little gems when they're available, .... At the moment, their early girl and heirloom tomatoes are truly excellent. In recent weeks, I've gotten their squash and green beans -- excellent again, of course. Riverdog prices are not outrageous, in view of the high quality. Their wares merit a detour. The farmers (Trini and Tim) and their employees (shout out here for Becky) are all super-nice. Check them out!

This Famers Market is located in Central Park. We came on a Saturday when their hours were 8a-1p…read more They are also open later in the day on Wednesdays--April to August hours are 4-8p, & September to March hours are 3-6p. Vendors are lined up on both sides creating a long straight walk with some of the area under a covered pavilion. There was a lot to see--produce, nuts, honey, meats, cheese, chocolates, baked goods, flowers, plants, arts & crafts, & more. Organizations also had booths set up on the end opposite the pavilion. Street performers added musical entertainment. It's a neat stroll & a lot of people were out browsing & purchasing. The park offers a nice setting to enjoy any eats you purchase & there are restroom facilities. Note--Signage states no animals are allowed where food is sold (except for service animals).

What makes this farmers market so special is that there's truly something for everyone. Many of the produce vendors have been staples for our family for years. You can find fresh vegetables, eggs, local crawfish, chicken, meat, bread, pastries, plants, dates, flowers..you name it, and it's probably there. The vendors are always welcoming, and there's such a great sense of community. It's wonderful to see so many people coming together to support local farmers, makers, and small businesses. Whether you're shopping for groceries, grabbing a bite to eat, or just enjoying the atmosphere, it's always a great way to spend a Sunday morning.

Smaller than Midtown's Farmers market but I like it as it is organized well under the bridge…read more Every Sunday, 8AM-12PM, year-round. Accept EBT!! It has all organic vegetables, fruits, honey, mushrooms (including Lion Mane ($5/bag), oysters), sourdough breads, flowers that you are looking for, without feeling overwhelmed with lots of booths. Parking: free street parking Come early as favorite items run out fast: for example: blueberries ($7/bag) and sweet cherries ($6/bag)!! Most of the merchants accept CREDIT CARD, making the experience smoother. There is 1 (one) coffee truck with breads if you need your caffeine fix. It is a bit dark since it is under the bridge, but overall clean and seems safe space. Bring your shopping bag!!

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.

There's always so much to see, and the atmosphere is lively, welcoming, and very family-friendly--even if it does get busy. It's definitely a popular destination, and for good reason. I would have given it 5 stars, but the only downside we've experienced is that some vendors aren't always very friendly. It doesn't take much--a simple smile or acknowledgment of a customer can make a big difference. Thankfully, that's the exception rather than the rule, and it won't stop us from coming back. Overall, it's a wonderful way to spend a Saturday morning, and we highly recommend checking it out!

The ambience is very relaxed and on brand of Santa Rosa. It's the perfect blend of weird and eclectic along with a focus on community and celebrating local vendors. Definitely stop by if you're around on a Saturday morning!

I loved the variety of food trucks and fresh farm stands to unique artisan booths with things such as pottery, wood crafts, jewelry, and more.
