October in Midtown

The Midtown Farmers Market kicked off October on 20th Street, and it runs every Saturday, 8am to 1pm, year-round.

From November through February the start shifts to 9am, so plan your coffee run accordingly.

It's a cool Saturday in late October. Apple and persimmon season is in full swing, the last of the peppers are piled high, and from Auburn to Reno the weekend markets are still going strong.

The Central Sacramento Sunday market under the W/X freeway has run since 1980 and is Sacramento's original certified farmers market.

Peaches, Persimmons and a Reason to Get Up Early

One of the best parts of living in Placer County is that a farmers market is never far away. On any weekend you can find a market within a few miles of Roseville, and with a short drive you can reach markets in Sacramento, the foothills, Yuba County or Reno.

This guide covers Saturday and Sunday markets in Placer County and the counties that border it (Sacramento, El Dorado, Nevada, Yuba, Sutter and Washoe in Nevada), plus a short "farther out" list for the next ring of counties. Each listing includes the day, hours, address, season and the market's own website.

Market Day Tips

01

Go early for the best selection, or late for deals

Most markets open at 8am or 9am and wrap up by 1pm.

02

Bring cash and a bag

Many vendors take cards, but cash still keeps the line moving.

03

CalFresh/EBT stretches further

Alchemist CDC markets (Central Sunday, Arden-Arcade, Rancho Cordova, Elk Grove and Meadowview) accept CalFresh and offer Market Match, which adds matching dollars for fruits and vegetables. The Nevada City market has an EBT token booth.

04

Watch for winter hours

Midtown moves to a 9am start in November, and EDH Community Center and Reno also shift later.

Thinking About Moving Here?

A Sunday stroll through Maidu or Mahany Park to pick up eggs and flowers is one of the little routines people love about living in Roseville. Living in Placer County also puts you within an easy drive of Sacramento's year-round markets and the foothill markets in Auburn and Nevada City.

If you already live nearby and want to move up, down or across town, I can help you sell and buy in the right order, so you only move once.

If you're relocating from out of the area or out of state, I'll coordinate with the agent selling your current home so closing dates, movers and logistics line up.

Let’s map out your move together

Wherever you’re coming from, I’d love to hear about your plans. Reach out anytime.
