Sunrise Station Certified Farmers' Market
About the Market
Background
Moved to its current location in 2010, this farmers market has been a staple in the community since 1986, operated by an organization dedicated to preserving local California family farms and running Certified Farmers' Markets in Sacramento County since 1980.
Practices
Farmers participating in the market must sell only what they have grown themselves on their California farms, ensuring that all products are locally sourced and directly from the producers.
The Rest
Typically, over 35 farmers gather each Saturday morning in the Light Rail parking lot to sell a variety of in-season fresh fruits, vegetables, nuts, flowers, oils, plants, meat, and other farm products. The market caters to dedicated California farm supporters and serious food shoppers who want to know the origins of their food. California Health Code prohibits dogs and other pets, and smoking is not allowed. Cash is the preferred method of payment, and shoppers are advised to bring plenty of small bills and change.
