Saratoga Farmers' Market at West Valley College — Local services in Saratoga

Tips: Plenty of parking and it is free despite the sign and pay stations. Bring your own bags (trolley or a push cart) to avoid carrying all the items because you ended up buying more than you expected.

Cash and credit cards are accepted but some vendors will charge you 3% using a credit card so it's best to bring cash.

And I may be leaving out stuff. Everything is ridiculously fresh and prices are very reasonable. It's can get very crowded around the most popular vendors, but for the quality, price, freshness and range, I'm happy to dive in. It's a great way into...

Other than Alemany farmers market this is my go to market since it’s much closer to my home. It’s a no frills, quality market that has a little bit of everything. They have poultry, seafood, fresh milk and cheese, fruits, veg, meat, dessert, breads and a wonderful Asian vegetable stall that is typically my first stop. I hate farmers markets when they’re filled with multiple of the same fillers: ya know like numerous random soaps, olive oils, multiple clothing and jewelry, etc. Or when the produce is high priced because it looks perfect.
