Placer Farmers Market — Attraction in Auburn

I feel as though this farmer's market has lost its vibe a bit. It used to feel like a special place to go on a Saturday morning with a musician playing, the smell of wood-fired pizza wafting on the air, mostly small vendors who were proud of their offerings charging a bit higher prices than normal, with a small-town market feel. But this time it seemed more commercialized, less local, with a few big vendors with long lines to get served, charging outrageous prices. There was not a single cup of coffee to be had except one with oat milk as the creamer which I personally don't prefer, though I'm glad they offer it for those who do. There wasn't any place that I could see even selling a bottle of water and the prepared food offerings were lackluster. I'm sure they took a big hit because of Covid, and are not really wanting people to linger, but it just doesn't feel like a welcoming, fun place any more. And the prices were truly outrageous to me. I probably won't be going back any time soon and that...

OMG!!! The unbelivable selection of fresh organic fruits, vegetables, exotic and staples is absolutely amazining. The variety of all locally grown organic, fresh, award winning wines, ciders, juices which beatiifilly compliment the hommade bries, pate's ( vegan? Vegetarian, dairy free as well as carnivorous 😉💃) is as amazing, wonderfully and beautifully crafted right down to the packaging all done by hand that any 5 Star restaurant in SF or New York would gladly and gratefully have on their menus. Go...it is an experience not to be missed, here or anywhere; these local farmers and craftsmen appear.

I would go every day if they were here every day.

Great gifts for all occasions and best of all (next to the craftmenship of every item there) is that it is sooo affordable for all walks of life. Everyine going to their cars after making their purchases is smiling. Hang out in the parking lot for 15 minutes and try and not go see why the smiles are...

There are so many vendors at this Auburn farmers market! A large variety of vendors as well. My favorite is the flower vendor that sells these huge beautiful bouquets for $17. Many fruit and veggie vendors and food trucks! There are a lot of large trees for a fair amount of shade. Even tho it was REALLY packed today we easily found parking. You do have to wear a face mask while walking around. Vendors are taking cash and cards. Many great snacky vendors too, with Roti and coffee and popcorn and kettle corn. It's a great way to start a Saturday and get my kids excited about eating fruits and vegetables Nevada they picked them out...
