so long to wait??? other farmers markets go year-round! Auburn, Sunrise Mall, Sacramento. I wish ours started earlier.

I remember seeing the Sunrise Mall market is now just down the road from us at the Sunrise light rail parking lot location.

June 13th, that is later than other farmer's markets. I stumbled across a farmer's market in Shingle Springs that begins this month. I might check it out next weekend. Has anyone been there?

What is the location

[FolsomH2O]

Friday mornings 8AM - 12Noon in the Briggs Ranch Plaza parking lot and the corner of Blue Ravine and East Bidwell. It was packed last Friday. The strawberries, honey and bread I bought were all excellent.

Is there one at Thursday Night Market this year?

[john]

I don't know. There are usually at least a few tents. TNM used to really center around it and not really anymore.

Not last year. They replaced the farmers market with a Grocery Outlet tent.

I looked at the list of vendors this year and Farm Fresh To You is listed. I contacted them to see if they will be selling their fruits and veggies tomorrow night and was told that someone else would need to get back to me on that. I'll let you know when/if I hear anything.

On a side note, I think it's odd that Broadstone Market Place is having it's Open Air Market tomorrow night from 5:30 to 7:30pm as well. Might be better to have it on a different night . . . ???

Have not yet received a definitive answer, but so far it's looking like they will just have a booth available for people to sign up for the delivery services -- no produce for sale during the TNM.

that makes sense. the farmers who came before in previous years found that few people bought produce in the heat of the evening. plus farmers tend to get up early and night markets are difficult in the best of circumstances.

just a reminder that the farmers market will be in the Briggs Ranch Plaza on Friday from 8AM to 12 noon.
