Three reasons to bring an extra tote.
Local Harvest markets bring together California agriculture, ready-to-eat small-batch foods, and handcrafted artisan goods, all with music and a community rhythm that makes each stop feel like its own neighborhood gathering. Buying local means fresher produce, better-tasting small-batch food, and direct support for local makers and the local economy.
Agriculture
California-grown produce, straight from local farms.
Shop seasonal fruit, crisp greens, herbs, roots, avocados, tomatoes, citrus, berries, and vegetables grown by California farmers and brought directly into the community. Many are family farms with generations of experience; they know how to nurture their crops and when to pick for peak flavor, instead of harvesting early for storage, shipping, or a corporate timeline.
Prepared Foods
Small-batch bites, baked goods, sauces, and market meals.
Come hungry for fresh bread, pastries, tacos, pizza, hummus, salsa, vegan meals, sweets, snacks, and makers who know exactly what went into every batch. Buying from artisan food vendors means fresh, high-quality foods made in small batches by local businesses.
Crafts
Handmade goods with a local, personal touch.
Browse jewelry, candles, skincare, plants, clothing, wood goods, incense, gifts, and colorful artisan tables that make the market feel like a creative neighborhood pop-up. Every purchase supports local artists, craftspeople, and the creative economy around them.
Meet the vendors
The people behind the tables make the market.
Every Local Harvest market is shaped by the growers, bakers, cooks, makers, and small businesses who show up with something personal to share.

Market questions
Before you fill your basket.
A few helpful notes for first-time shoppers, regulars, food lovers, and anyone wondering what makes a Local Harvest market different.
What does it mean to be a certified farmers market?
All farms selling in the certified agricultural section must be certified through CDFA (California Department of Food & Agriculture), a highly regulated process that includes annual farm inspections and on-site market inspections. Certificates must be visibly posted at farm stalls, and those standards help ensure you are buying local produce from California farms, not produce bought at a grocery store and resold. That accountability is why certified market banners say it plainly: We grow what we sell.
Does “certified” mean everything is organic?
No. In California, organic is its own highly regulated label with formal standards, certification, records, and enforcement. Certified farmers market status is about verified California producers selling what they grow. Some farms may be certified organic, some may use natural or low-spray practices without carrying organic certification, and others may farm conventionally. The best part of buying directly from the farmers is that you can ask them how something was grown.
Do you accept EBT?
No, not at this time. Some of the farms may be able to accept WIC vouchers, you’ll need to ask them before you purchase.
Do you accept debit or credit cards?
This is up to the individual vendors. Some do and some do not. However, you can purchase Market Cash at the information booth using your debit or credit card, then use it with any of our vendors.
Are the farms California farms?
Yes. The certified farmers market produce comes from California farms and certified producers. Prepared foods, crafts, and artisan goods are part of the wider market experience and are organized separately from the certified agricultural section.
What should I bring?
Bring reusable bags, sun protection, water, and an appetite. If you plan to shop produce first, a cooler bag can help keep fruit, greens, eggs, dairy, or prepared foods happy while you enjoy the music and vendors.
When is the best time to come?
Arrive early for the widest produce selection, especially during peak summer fruit season. Come later if you want a slower browse, lunch, music, and a more relaxed stroll through the artisan booths.
Do the markets happen in bad weather or on holidays?
These are outdoor community markets, so schedules can occasionally change for weather, holidays, city events, or safety reasons. Check the latest market updates before heading out if conditions look uncertain.
