I was born in the late 60's and my Mom went back to work in the early 70's. So we bought pre ready to make foods. Well after 50 years of basically eating crap for the most of my life I FINALLY realized "You ARE what you eat"!! OH and she was tasting these organic tallow beef potato chips! WOW!!! Reminded me of when I was a small child. I have not have REAL CLEAN potato chips since I was a toddler! Haha! I bought them too! Oh and their expensive lasagna noodles were soooooo great! I did not realize the little bag can make 3-9x13 casserole dish. So it wasn't as expensive as I assumed. I will be back!! And soon!!

The shop also has canned jellies, nuts, candies, gifts and decor from various local businesses and craftspersonds. Check out the freezer section for homemade pies to bake at house.

As of 11/19/25, which is early season, you can buy a 4 lb bag for $10. While I was there, one farmer was sorting the oranges out by size. Apparently, the medium ones are the most popular. You could buy small ones for $1.50 per pound. Mandarins were attractive and juicy. Update: It's the sweetest and easiest to peel of the three different bags I bought on 11/19/25. Blue Goose Produce is associated with Westview Growers. If I remember correctly, there are 1500 mandarin orange trees in their orchards, so you can buy mandarins there until April! Farmers are friendly and informative to chat with. In October 2025, I believe I spoke with the owner Mark about the Blue Goose decor. One antiquities specialist soon found him a large metallic goose after he requested it. He painted it dark blue himself. This goose gets outfit changes to match the holiday! His family has been collecting blue goose decor over many years, which you can find throughout the store. I learned that a female goose can just be called a goose. A male goose is a gander, and Gander Taphouse is in the same plaza. Yesterday I learned that mandarin oranges taste better a day or longer after they have been picked. It takes time for them to sweeten. You can find a variety of local farm goods here, such as honey, scented candles, Earth & Vine products, local Newcastle Mandarin Ranch products, and Petaluma Creamery cheeses. You can buy pies here. I might call ahead to ask about available flavors. You can find limited produce here. I've bought a large tomato, finger grapes, and a ruby grapefruit here. Fuyu and Hachiya Persimmons are currently in season and look beautiful. Prices resemble that of a farmers market. If you like to support local farms, please stop by Blue Goose Produce.

Her friendly attitude made us feel welcome, and we'll definitely be coming back. Highly recommend stopping by if you're in the area.

You can ask to sample a mandarin while you're there. He let me choose one from any crate. Currently, you can buy 5 lb for $10. The 10 lb bag for $22 isn't as good a deal, maybe because you are purchasing the cardboard box? You can also buy crates for $50, which is the best value. I think a crate contains 40 lb. This has been the only farm I have seen so far that allows you to purchase so huge a quantity, especially so early in the season. Mandarins are juicy. You may be able to buy other farm produce here, like persimmons and nuts. The Fuyu persimmons looked so perfect and beautiful that I bought a big bag for $10. You can pay by credit card. Mandarin Hill Orchards is off English Colony Way, part of the Mandarin Trail. Happy Dayz Vineyard is located on the same grounds. I like that you can see and drive through the scenic mandarin orange orchard when you shop here. Even the railroad crossing you have to drive over is pretty. This was the best mandarin farm experience and stop so far.

With everyone ordering something different, we got a good sense of their diverse menu. My salami sandwich was outstanding, easily one of the best I've had.

For those in a hurry, pre-packaged options are available. Despite our large group and other customers, the friendly staff efficiently handled our orders, getting our food to us much faster than a traditional sit-down restaurant could have. We enjoyed our meals at the outdoor picnic tables, taking in the stunning, panoramic views from high above the treetops. Whorton's Market is a must-visit in the area.

Came here with a group of friends and a 'tasting' was arranged for us. What a treat! The owner, a really nice and personable guy, have us a truly interesting talk on the history of the area and the specifics of farming fruit in this region. You have to admire the work and passion that goes into putting those delicious mandarin oranges, and other fruit, out to market. This is a long time family owned farm and you can sense and feel the energy and love of the place. So, there's a lot to learn and a lot to taste, including honey, flavored oils and vinegars and even soaps and candles. A great place to enjoy, learn, and to bring home some local treats.

I thought his Chardonnay was really great in the tasting room, but it didn't translate as well when we had it at home. However, the Pitch Black Petite Syrah was pretty amazing! It almost felt like a port. All his wines felt well balanced and blended with perfection! Very cool guy who owned the place was serving up the wines and made us feel welcomed and at ease. I heard him thanking some Yelpers for coming in and I reminded myself to check in...low and behold he had a 15% off deal and I used the hell outta that...you should too!

How can you say no to locally grown farm fresh fruits and vegetables?…read more I found out about Saturdays PLACERGROWN Farmers' Market by attending the Sutter Faith Farmers Market that happens on Thursdays. There are about twice the vendors here than at Auburn Faith. So let's see what we can get into! I picked up Leah around 9 a.m. and after waiting for her to finish getting ready, we pulled into the parking lot by 9:15. The parking lot is near the beautiful courthouseand was full. There is some street parking available and some parking a little farther away in downtown Auburn. It was a gorgeous morning for a walk. There were so many people! Some had their wagons filled with produce, eggs, crafts. They were walking their dogs... I even saw a few kids on leashes! As we walked up and saw, we were two very excited women to spend some money! We started with Rodriguez farms. They have BEAUTIFUL! GORGEOUS!! THE MOST AMAZING LOOKING STRAWBERRIES I HAVE EVER LAID EYES ON!! They looked so perfect, I most certainty had to get some. For $23, I picked up 3 over filled baskets... yes, it did seem expensive... but these strawberries were gorgeous, red throughout, and sweet. Worth every penny! Next, we were at Natural Trading Co, and they have organic produce. They were also pulling out so the stops with watermelon being displayed sliced open. Gorgeous fresh herbs in bundles... the sunflowers looked like they couldn't have been real, but they were (one of my favorite flowers). There were chili's and peppers, flowers.. and much more produce. It was a different vibe than next door, but they had a lot of produce Rodriguez farms didn't have. The mushroom tent was pretty amazing because they were showcasing their mushrooms and had information that described what each of their mushrooms tasted like... they've got one that tastes like chicken!!! That woman was fun and making deals as we were reading up. Next, the popular Zena foods! I have already had the pleasure of purchasing Zena Foods hummus before and the spicy and lemon dill I bought last time were so good, I decided to buy more on this visit. This man has every flavor available for you to sample. Do not hesitate to try a sample. If you check out the pics below, the sample is not some tiny thing. On this visit, I bought 2 regular hummus, 1 spicy, 1 jalapeno orange, and one that dip that had grape leaves wrapped about a flavored rice. When you buy 4, you get the 5th one free. Yum Yum Yum!!!!! The kettle corn tent was out here, too, but a about $3 more at this location than at Auburn Faith for the same size... I still have some leftover on my counter at home from my last trip to the midtown farmers market. Bella Familia was out there with their food truck making fresh wood fired pizzas. Maria's Mexican tacos was out there, too. If I didn't have to go to work right after, I might have stayed for tacos! We were walking out of this Farmers Market close to 10:15 a.m. and there were fresh eggs at the very end. Fortunately for him, he had sold out (unfortunate for us). This was a very successful Farmers market trip. Rodriguez Farms strawberries and Zenna Foods hummus and dips were the big highlight of my trip today. I am so excited to go back tomorrow and replenish my dips and strawberries!

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! :-)
