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

This small farmers market has a festive feel and a good vibe to it. The offerings tonight were…read morefruits, vegetables, baked goods, English toffee, wine, and beef. They also had BBQ for sale. It actually feels more like a town get together than a farmers market. (Which isn't all bad) For entertainment there was a guy playing guitar and singing. It seems as if everyone in town shows up for this event, which is nice for the community. As an outsider it felt a little akin to crashing the party of someone you don't know as everyone knows each other. Although everyone was friendly, it just felt a little odd. I picked up some tomatoes which I plan on using tomorrow with my BBQ. As a community event I would give it four stars, as a farmers market I give it three.

We came for a friend's birthday and had such a fun evening. The park is beautiful, and the market…read morehas a really great mix of vendors. There was a nice variety of food, drinks, and shopping, so it felt easy to spend a few hours wandering around. We ate at the Thai food truck and everything was so good. The kebabs were packed with flavor, the spring rolls were fresh and crispy, and the mango sticky rice was the perfect way to end the meal. I also appreciated the little details that made the market easy to enjoy, like the free water refill station and the clean, accessible bathrooms. Definitely worth checking out if you're in the area and we'll definitely be back!

Lots of arts & crafts in the first row, really wish I had a need for handmade candles and sage and jewelry but I'm here for the food. The kettle corn tent is more my speed. The live musician was pretty impressive - he went from acoustic guitar, harmonica, violin, and singing, all in one song. The Mexican food truck is always our favorite - street tacos, nachos, burritos - pretty tasty. The owner's very friendly and he remembered us from last year lol. We also bought some candles, organic strawberries and some blueberries. They're only open on Wednesdays 3-7:30pm during the Summer so plan accordingly. Parking is easy but you might have to walk a couple hundred yards omg.

It's busy, and one of the vendors (a bakery) was sold out by 10am, and the lines were long for coffee, but what a beautiful spot.

There are many stands that serve produce, bread, flowers, honey, and much more. I love the flower booth that is comes to this farmers market every weekend. You can buy flowers by the bouquet (anywhere from $7-$30) or you can ask about bulk purchases. I also like that they have performers that play guitar, piano, sing, etc. This farmers market doesn't compare to the midtown farmers market, but a great farmers market if you're looking to simply buy produce and fresh items. There is plenty of parking. There are no food trucks or food stands with already made food. Also, no dogs allowed.

This is my second year participating in Great Basin's Community Supported Agriculture Basket. I…read morethink it's a wonderful program. It's a weekly basket of local, seasonal, sustainable produce You prepay for the season and each week you pick up a big box full of a variety of goods. Sometimes you get nuts and fruits thrown into the mostly veggie mix. I split my pickup with two other friends as I am single and mostly cook for myself I could never finish one box in a timely fashion. I'm enjoying the Spring Basket which is 10 weeks of various salad greens, garlic, green onion, fresh herbs, radishes, carrots, garlic and so much more. Summer is 14 weeks of bountiful produce (just take a look at their website to see all that's included!) with beautiful Fallon melons and the occasional basket of raspberries or strawberries that made me alarmed at how delicious the fruit can be. (I literally said "omg, these strawberries have so much strawberry flavor!!" because I had become used to those huge but bland or tart berries from the grocery store). I chose to participate in this instead of going to the weekly farmers markets because this way I'm forced to try new things I might not pick out on my own. It's been fun to try new veggies and get these beautiful mostly organic heirloom varieties as well. Each week they send out a newsletter keeping you updated as to what's being harvested and what to expect in the coming week so you can menu plan. They also include recipe suggestions each week. At the end of the season they hold a potluck "Day at the Farm" at Lattin Farms which was neat to meet others and go on Hay rides and corn mazes. The organizers and participating Farmers are gracious and good at taking feedback. I'm surprised at the variety of things that are grown in northern Nevada (or nearby) although there was quite an abundance of zucchini, tomatoes, and melons every week. Overall it's a great program and I'll likely continue to participate as long as they offer it. They are expanding their pickup points and times and also offer a flower basket too.

I just joined the Great Basin Basket CSA for the first time this summer. I got my second basket…read morelast week (I signed up for both the fruits and vegetables). As mentioned in the earlier review, you pay in advance for the summer and receive a "basket" every week for 14 weeks of fresh produce from local farmers. We share both baskets with my parents as it's too much for one couple to eat. POSITIVES: You get REALLY fresh fruit and produce every week. We eat more fruits and vegetables than ever before and it forces me to try new recipes. Instead of buying the same thing every week I am getting creative and having a BLAST doing it. The fruits and vegetables really are some of the best I've ever tried. You also get a variety of fresh herbs. This last week we got Sun Jewel Melon which I've never even heard of! Not to mention, it feels good knowing that you are supporting local farmers! NEGATIVES: It's pricier than if you were to go to the local farmers market and buy the same amount of produce. We pay $32.15/week for vegetables and $20/week for fruits. For $52/week we could go crazy at the Saturday farmers market and be buying from a lot of the same growers! Also, because we can't pick up the items until after work (5:30ish) they've been in the heat/sun for a few hours and unfortunately require a lot of TLC to be able to save them for a few days. We are forced to eat a lot of it in the first couple of days (as they are ripe NOW) and then end up buying produce at the store to last the rest of the week anyways. Overall, I am really enjoying my purchase. I'm not sure I could afford to sign up again next year, but since I'm prepaid for 14 weeks I am going to definitely enjoy the fresh produce and exciting variety I receive each week. If you don't have to watch your money very closely and like the idea of trying new items while supporting local business then I highly suggest you sign up for the CSA www.greatbasinbasket.com.
