The Nevada City Farmers Market –Spotlight on the Winter Market
The Nevada City Farmers Market is a non-profit organization providing direct access to locally and sustainably grown produce and products. This essential service and vibrant showcase takes place year round in historic downtown Nevada City and is open every Saturday, rain or shine!
For 15 years, the farmers who contribute to our market have provided the community with an abundance of the freshest produce possible, all from within a 75-mile radius of Nevada City. When you purchase locally harvested produce from our hard-working farmers you are directly promoting sustainable agriculture and contributing to our local economy, enriching our community with a more resilient food system. From the farmers’ hands to yours, it’s love from the land we all cherish and depend on. Starting in January, just two short streets away from our primary location on Union Street, people gather to shop at our indoor market hosted in the cozy auditorium of SAEL school at 505 Main Street from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. every Saturday morning. Just like on Union Street, we provide a community meeting place for all to enjoy live music, to shop and connect with their local farmers, and exchange EBT benefits for market tokens.
The indoor market is easily accessible and provides nearly just as many nourishing goodies as you normally can get in the summer. This includes locally grown winter fruits and vegetables like citrus, root crops, winter greens, and brassicas as well as other produce like meat, mushrooms, and microgreens.
Apart from fresh and local produce from our dedicated farmers, the Nevada City Farmers Market also offers products from local artisans and food purveyors. From soap to jewelry, baked goods to wild caught seafood, these value-added vendors offer a spectacle of everyday products that make for great gifts and tasty treats, exemplifying the abundance that our county has to offer. Join us this winter at the Nevada City Farmers Market for a robust bounty and to connect with your local farmers, artisans, and food purveyors who nourish our community with their delicious produce and handcrafted offerings!
We’ll see you there!
