Farmers wife farmers market — Local services in Rancho Cordova

Was excited to go here for fresh fruit, my husband and I haven't had good luck with fruit from the grocery store lately. As soon as we walk up we notice that half of the fruit is purchased from the grocery store and the prices are jacked up, the bananas and pineapples have Dole stickers. One young man who worked there was polite and tried to be helpful, the other workers were older ladies who were extremely rude to my husband and me. When we asked about the difference between the green pluot and purple pluot the lady scoffed and said "they are different varieties." When we were trying to pick out a basket of strawberries, my husband picked a basket up and the lady grabbed it from him and held it up herself and when we asked to see the other baskets she acted as if we were inconveniencing her. When I was looking at peaches she sat right in front of me and watched me the entire time, making me feel super uncomfortable.

Apparently they’re fine with the workers real farmers depend on — and in other cases, U.S. citizens — being grabbed in broad daylight by masked agents who won’t give their name. If they want customers, they should keep their opinions to themselves. If you want free unsolicited political opinion from conspiracy theorists with your overpriced peaches, this...

Farmer's Wife Farmers Market is a neighborhood landmark! It's a fruit and vegetable stand with a huge selection of produce grown on the property or locally. Prices are that of a small business; a little more than a grocery store but for a much fresher, organic product! Today I picked up fresh bell peppers! The biggest, crisp green bell peppers I've seen! $1.25 each! And, they taste so much better than the ones from the grocery store!!! They had a variety of fresh tomatoes, onions, okra, corn, eggplant, carrots, celery, berries, peaches, nectarines, pistachios, melons, etc. Fresh watermelons were $8 each! Strawberries are from Watsonville!!! They also carry locally made jams and...
