They raise pastured beef, chicken, lamb, pork and goat and turkeys at Thanksgiving. You need to order your Turkey many months ahead. We buy all the meat our family eats from them and it's the best we've ever eaten. You can buy whole, half or quarters and they also have a wonderful meat CSA so you can get a variety each month if you prefer. You can visit the farm and see how they raise the animals. It's a great family farm, the kind we need to support if we're going t have access to real healthy food for our families. I recommend them highly!

Veggies and fruit are ultra fresh. They offer produce not only from the Bierwagen family orchard farm but also from other local farmers. They also sell local honey, pies, jams and jellies; and pet food made from fresh raw meat including bits. The building is a real building with walls and ceiling. I don't remember if they had central AC, but the ultra hot summer Saturday that I dropped in ... the temp was way cooler in the building than outside, quite comfortable actually. And I'm a wimp in the heat. They share a paved parking lot with the Happy Kitchen restaurant, which is also a venture of the Bierwagen farm family. Oh my, their pies are heavenly. Things to note: the farm market is open seasonally. Currently they are open 11-4 pm Monday- Saturday. But for sure, for the full 411... I advise checking out their Facebook site. The Facebook site will have the items in season and current hours of operation. Facebook: Bierwagen's Donner Trail Fruit and Farm Market. #BierwagenFarmMarketInGrassValley

You've got everything covered here: fresh fruit, veggies, breads, local goods, and a seriously stacked food lineup. Highlight? The chorizo arepa from Que Chimba. Crispy grilled outside, soft inside, loaded with chorizo, cheese, creamy chipotle sauce, and just the right spice. Balanced, flavorful, and straight-up satisfying. It's the kind of spot you come hungry, wander, snack, and somehow leave already planning your next round. 5 ROARS from Focusaurus Rex

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

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. Rubysranchfsmilyfarmstead.com So many other vendors were there as well!

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! :-)

Pros: -For our ceremony in the redwoods we didn't need any flowers to make the place beautiful, but we did ask for a chuppah (for the groom's Jewish culture) adorned with batik cloth and jasmine flowers (for the bride's Indonesian culture). The chuppah was made out of beautiful wood, and even though the specific species of Jasmine flowers used in Indonesian weddings was not available, Molly came through with a local flower that looked almost the same. -We both love succulents and wanted to have them be the floral look of our wedding and reception. The bouquets, corsages, and bride's hairpiece were creatively made out of succulents and all looked gorgeous -For the reception, we wanted the tables to have potted succulent arrangements as centerpieces. Molly delivered, big time! Each succulent display was different and beautiful in its own way. -The mother of the groom was very involved in the preparation of the centerpieces, acquiring and hand-painting seventeen pots for the arrangements. She and Molly worked VERY well together in making this happen. -Great value compared to some of the other florists we considered Cons: -None All in all we were very satisfied with Molly and recommend her highly! Review from my mother in law : Working with Molly was a total joy. I live across the country from her, and we communicated by phone, text or email in regards to the flowers for my son and daughter-in-law's wedding. She ended up custom-growing plants for specific containers that I mailed to her. Those centerpieces, in addition to the bridal bouquets and a custom-designed outdoor chuppah ended up making a lasting visual statement! She is a superb listener and a beautiful artist. As an artist myself, I can totally endorse Molly to get the job done in a memorable way!
