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.

On a recent trip to Chico I discovered Llano Seco organic/humane pork products at the Chico Farmer's Market and I am highly envious that we don't have Llano Seco here in southern California. My mom and I split the reasonable price for a 2 pound ham and took that bad boy home. I put a brown sugar pineapple glaze on it and that ham was incredible--delicious, moist, and tender. Everyone kept giving me the credit for how I cooked it but really the credit belongs to the farmers at Llano Seco. They're raising their hogs how nature intended and they have a superior (and tasty) product to show for it. I am now back in San Diego and sad not to have easy access to tasty pork, but I am going to investigate how to order products from the company via their website. If you care about the quality of life of the animal that became your meal, the land we all share or the health of yourself or your family (no growth hormone or antibiotics used) then you'll consider the awesomeness that is Llano Seco pork! =) YUM!

Heirloom Apples, Black Twig, Arkansas Black and Winesap are all available here. This is where I…read moretasted my first Pink Lady. You will also find some of the more traditional apples, the red delicious and the Fuji. There can be a science lesson with each purchase, as the orchard owner is happy to share apple trivia and facts, i.e., why a gallon of apple juice weighs more than a gallon of water, or how to determine the sweetness of the apple by feeling the skin. The true beauty of this place is the setting...There's a reason they call this town Paradise. Sitting right on the snow line, you either go uphill to be cooler or downhill to be warmer. At the Noble orchards you are buying direct from the packing shed and the smell of a couple tons of fresh apples mixed with pine trees and fresh air is absolutely heavenly. In addition to the apples and apple juice, or cider, they had mandarin oranges and jams and local olive oil. Of course, you gotta love those squeeky wooden floors. Call before you go to make sure they have the apple of your eye, and call me when the pie is ready.
