We decided to try Oakdale farmer's market, nice but few produce stands and small variety to choose from. Mostly stuff for families with children activities, which is a good thing but we are retired seniors. So we checked out Modesto farmer's market the following weekend and viola, this is what we were looking for. Plenty of choices and quite a nice variety. Also, we spent the same amount of money and got triple the produce etc. We will stick with the Modesto farmer's market. Thank you for having a nice place to shop for good food

I live next to the rodents farm in Riverbank but have never been to the store in downtown Modesto…read more So we stopped in and of course we had to get some of their nuts. They have a lot of options in there, and they definitely take up every bit of the space in the store. This is a great place to go if you want to get the prepackaged nuts and jellies, etc. But for fresh fruit, I would definitely recommend their Riverbank location.

I rediscovered Rodin ranch at their booth this morning when I was at the Los Gatos farmers market…read more They have an amazing array of almonds and their hickory smoked almonds are soooo addictive!! Luckily I bought a small resealable bag or I would have devoured all of them. Crazy delicious!!! I also love their dried persimmons. A+++

Kayla is an amazing host. She is kind-hearted, committed, organized and communicates effectively. She is always present and approachable. She works hard for her vendors with promoting the market which also gives back to the community with her charitable events. The market brings together so many small businesses to give opportunities to showcase their talents whether food, desserts or handmade crafts. The market is a family friendly environment and well presented. The vibes bring smiles to all those who attend. Customers come back time after time, giving you an opportunity to get to know them. Give the market a follow on IG or FB to check the calendar for upcoming events. You don't want to miss out!

The Rose Market is truly a gem!…read more I've been a vendor at The Rose Market multiple times now, and every single event has been nothing short of amazing. The energy is always warm and welcoming, and the team behind it does such a great job organizing everything. You can tell they genuinely care about supporting small businesses and creating a positive space for the community. Every event I've attended has had a great turnout, and I've been able to connect with so many incredible customers and fellow vendors. The vibes, the layout, the music, and even the extra little touches (like photo ops and giveaways) make this market stand out from the rest. If you're a local vendor looking for a reliable, fun, and professional place to showcase your products--or if you just want to shop small and discover some amazing businesses--The Rose Market is where it's at. Can't wait for the next one!

I found out about this place from a random video that I saw on TikTok, and I asked my sister if she…read morewas down to go visit this place this past Sunday, March 1st. There's plenty of parking there. We arrived around 8:15am, and we were abit disappointment in the trees as most of the blossoms have fallen off. We walked further down into the farm, and then we found some of the trees still have some blossoms. It looked like snow covered because of the fallen flower petals. We had a lovely time taking pictures and little videos. Because of the time restraint, we didn't visit the farm stand. I would definitely visit the next time I go. It's free to visit. I definitely recommend going to the Secret Garden afterwards for a lovely brunch/lunch/or dinner. That's what we did. :) Also, I think it would have been better to go visit in mid/late February because the trees would have more of the blossoms.

Lovely place. We visited this place on our recent visit to the Almond Blossom Festival. I learnt…read morethat they have been doing this business for generations. One of the very few farms that lets you walk among the almond trees. It is gorgeous and the blooms might last another coupla weeks. The recent rains created a nice white carpet with the blossoms on the green land. Some great produce in the farmstand as well.

I don't have a photo to post but just a screenshot from their FB page…read more I couldn't believe the price the first time I came across their page, which was 6$ for 15 dozen I missed out on that deal but came when I had my cousin to help me carry the eggs. We went during the summer the day before the Fourth of July around 9am which was a Friday. It wasn't busy but a few cars there. The regular price is $10 for 15 dozen, still a great amazing deal. Fast friendly service, at their window pick up. This week of August 11th they had an $8 deal for the 15 dozen We came on Thursday the 13th and got that 8$ deal!! We mentioned them to family and friends. My cousin's family from her husbands side has a lot of kids and went by in the afternoon and said there was a long line and a lot of people My Thursday morning around 10a wasn't busy, even with the deal, so I guess their afternoons are a lot more busy FYI I hope they will still have these amazing prices for months to come which definitely helps big families. The place is clean and beautiful They have a sign saying to watch out for chickens crossing the road. Please do!! I also wish I can give them 15 dozen stars

AWARENESS: Because of the heat in the valley, my chickens…read morehave slowed their laying so, I needed to grab a few eggs to tie my family over for a few days. NARRATIVE: I drove to Pleasant Valley Farms on a Sunday morning, just after they opened for day. There were a few cars and waiting people when arrived but, the line to grab some fresh eggs moved quickly. I grabbed 18 large brown eggs and paid $5 dollars. No fuss. No muss, just some fresh eggs. SCENE: Pleasant Valley Farms is located in the unincorporated city of Ripon on W Ripon Road between Austin Road and S Curtis Avenue. The farm has signs clearly marking which way to enter and leave the property and the process for getting eggs is simple; drive up. Find a place to park. Head to the window and buy your eggs. RECOMMENDATION(S): You can't beat the freshness of their eggs nor their price. Highly recommended.

SHELLEY SAVES THE DAY! When we arrived for Mother's Day, we…read morewere initially treated rather rudely by a young gentleman named Matt, who told us we did not have a reservation when we know we did. We had to regroup and were headed to another place when we got a call back from The Fruityard stating that they had our reservation down under a different name because it was written down wrong and could not be deciphered. Matt was very rude to us at the beginning when we checked in a very condescending tone. He should definitely not be THR person who greets guests when they check in as his demeanor is deplorable! What saved the day for us was our server, Shelley, whose constant attention and sense of humor were fantastic! Her menu suggestions were all spot on, our water glasses never got under half full and she brought smiles to all of our faces. We all enjoyed our menu choices, and the salad bar was fantastic as always!

I am writing to formally express my disappointment regarding my recent visit to your establishment…read more I traveled 58 miles specifically to dine at your restaurant based on positive reviews, but unfortunately, the experience failed to meet reasonable expectations. Upon arrival, the check-in process was impersonal, and it took ten minutes to be seated. Once at our table, we waited another ten minutes before being acknowledged by our server. Throughout the meal, the service was characterized by a lack of basic hospitality; our server was consistently indifferent, failing to offer a warm welcome, smile, or proactive check-ins regarding our drinks or satisfaction. Furthermore, the food quality was mediocre at best, which did not justify the extended wait times. The service continued to be dismissive during the conclusion of our meal; our requests for the dessert menu and the check were met with abruptness rather than professional courtesy. When I attempted to settle the bill at the front desk, the manager on duty appeared preoccupied and treated my inquiry with an unprofessional level of dismissiveness. Given the significant time and effort invested in traveling to your location, I found the overall lack of service and poor management presence quite disheartening. I felt it was important to bring these specific service failures to your attention, as they have unfortunately ensured that this will be my final visit to your restaurant.

The Riverbank Farmers Market... There may be less produce than Modesto, but more than Oakdale. The…read moreRiverbank market makes up for that with live music or DJ, lots of food choices, and a fun atmosphere. You can find tacos, tamales, burgers, hot links, nachos, beef jerky, and drinks. It's a good place to meet friends and family and support the vendors who were hit hard by the shut down. There was strawberries, cherries, beets, peaches, fresh flowers, and succulents among the choices. Four stars for less produce than Modesto, but maybe that will change it's still early in the season. I also like that it's an evening market versus a morning like Modesto.
