Early Summer Updates

(Updated June 14, 2024)

The Florin Certified Farmers' Market has moved locations two miles west.

You can now find the farmers every Thursday morning in the Florin Light Rail Parking lot right on Florin Road.

Address: 3001 Florin Rd

(New development plans in our previous location has required this change.)

Thank you for showing your support week after week to share the changing seasons with us. It makes a huge difference for our farmers.

Market News

What's changed?

Two of our markets have been passed on to new operators. Alchemist CDC will be operating the Sunrise Light Rail Certified Farmers' Market in Rancho Cordova and the Florin Light Rail Certified Farmers' Market in South Sacramento. The farmers will remain the same.

What's in season?

Berries of all kinds from the mountains, coast, and valley.

Green beans and many varieties of summer squash are ready now. Eggplant, corn and okra will be more plentiful in the coming weeks.

Early girl tomatoes, and a few early green peppers have shown up.

Sweet crunchy cherries have reached their peak, but you should still find some Rainiers and Bings and other later varieties for a week or two.

Tastebud-tantalizing Santa Rosa plums are in season now.

Apricots, apriums, pluots, and other plums are starting their season too.

Peaches and nectarines are picked ripe and juicy. Always handle all stonefruit and tomatoes with care when you pick them out at market. No need to squeeze please!

Melons will be the next fruit to come in season, making first appearances usually by July.

Pickling cucumbers and dill are sometimes like two ships passing in the night, but we spotted them together at the markets this week!

You make a difference

We are so lucky to have all of the diverse bounty picked fresh and made available to buy directly at the Certified Farmers' Markets.

Thank you to the farmers and farm workers!

We are incredibly happy to see you coming back week after week to experience the changing seasons with us. Supporting farmers directly makes a big difference in their lives and also keeps the community resource of farmers markets going strong.

Thank you!

MORE UPDATES

During the storm season it is a good idea to check in about potential impacts on the farmer's markets. While we plan for all of our markets to be open rain or shine, we do close markets for dangerous stormy weather conditions.
