Sacramento Farmer's Market

Sacramento Farmer's Market

8th and W St.; Under the Freeways

Sunday mornings

Fresh cut flowers, hand picked fruits and vegetables, and array of shellfish, fresh bread, and other remarkable items can be found at the remarkable sunday farmer's market in downtown Sacramento. Located on 8th and W St. under the freeway overpass, this market really is a gem, not only for people on a budget, but those with palpable pallets as well.

I have always loved bargain hunting, especially when it comes to quality produce. Being somewhat new to the Sacramento region, I've been really eager to find a great market that sold a variety of quality products and at a low cost. Several times from different sources I was told to check out the sunday market but never got around to it. Then finally I found the time, and boy was it worth it!

I've been to a lot of farmer's markets in my time in different areas, but this experience truly was a pleasant surprise. There is a sea of stands, some boasting anywhere form freshly picked seasoned fruits and vegetables, to shellfish, organic meat, beautiful arrays of flowers, freshly baked breads and pastries, and even trinkets! Some sellers have products you wouldn't find in most grocery stores, and the best part about the hole venture, the prices are a steal!

I went in with a limiting $20, knowing I always go overboard if I allow any more! I walked away with enough produce to last a couple weeks! I had to hold back some resistance when I got to the flowers and homemade essential oils!

Not only is the market a great place to buy quality foods at bargain prices, it's also is a family friendly environment, with live music playing and excited crowds. If fresh products doesn't get you excited enough, the dollars saved will!
