Year-round at Central Park in downtown Davis, thousands gather each week to shop for what is grown, raised, and made locally at our markets. We are dedicated to bringing farmers right to your table, so we stay open rain or shine.
Walk rows of stalls lined with an array of fruits and vegetables, including certified organic produce, choice meats, chicken, seafood, wine, local eggs and honey. Choose from a variety of fresh-baked goods, plants, flowers and gifts. Enjoy a picnic from one of our many food stands, made from market ingredients.
At the Market
Welcome to At the Market, where I post regularly about produce highlights, vendor stories and market surprises.
What comes to mind when you think of farmers markets? Ripe seasonal produce, colorful flowers, freshly baked bread, music? While the Davis Farmers Market has a positive effect on your Saturday morning or Wednesday afternoon, it also makes a direct impact on our broader community and its food system
Farmers markets’ role in building healthy communities and prosperity for farmers and small businesses has made the USDA proclaim the first week of August as Farmers Market Week. For the last 24 years, we’ve celebrated farmers markets at the peak of summer, honoring the work being done to connect farmers and society, and to create a sustainable food system.
This year, this special celebration is Aug. 6 through 12. As one of the pioneers of farmers markets since in 1976, the Davis Farmers Market helped lead the way in what is now a global celebration.
Why do we need a week to celebrate farmers markets? These markets support California’s small and diversified farms, and circulate money back into our local economy. Each year, tens of thousands of farmers sell directly to consumers at farmers markets nationwide, generating billions in revenue. Recent surveys note that more than 80 percent of all direct-market food sales occurred within 100 miles of the farm. At a time when many restaurant sales and other outlets for farmers are down, the income farmers receive at farmers markets is a lifeline.
