Tahoe City Farmers Market 2020The Tahoe City Farmers Market 2020 opened Thursday, May 14, 2020, and will run through Thursday, October 15, 2020!

The return of the  Tahoe City Farmers Market in downtown Tahoe City is always a welcome sign summer is really on its way here for the greater North Lake Tahoe area!

This year with the COVID-19 government restrictions it is an a more optimistic signal that the process to return to back to some type of normal has begun in our area.

If you’ll be up in the Tahoe City – Truckee area during our warmer months, you’ll want to make sure to stop by the Tahoe City Farmers’ Market and take advantage of the fresh fruits, veggies, and bakery items just to name of few of the items you’ll find at the outdoor market!

You may not know that our local Tahoe City Farmers’ Market program is seasonal in our area, and it is also weather permitting.

Tahoe City Farmers Market 2020Local farmers and merchants from the greater Auburn Foothill area and the North Lake Tahoe area bring in their goods for sale into the downtown area of Tahoe City, California.

In my opinion, it is one of the most scenic settings you could have for a local Farmers Market at the edge of beautiful Lake Tahoe!

Items that you may find depending on the season are bread, pastries, jams, vinegar, olive oils, artesian cheeses (if you love cheese then you won’t want to miss the “Cheese Lady” from Dedrick’s Cheeses), meat, fish (yes, my Craig is a big fan of) The Little Fish Company and their Hawaiian Style Ahi Poke, and if you know what you want, you can always pre-order and pick-up at the market.

Tahoe City Farmers Market 2020Our friend John Paine, owner of Paine Orchards always seems to have the most delicious peaches, nectarines, and pluots throughout the season!  

There is nothing better than fresh-picked fruit off the trees!

Other items you’ll find at the Tahoe City Farmers Market: honey, herbs, mushrooms (yes there has been a vendor that offers just mushrooms), onions, beets, kale, chard, arugula, lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, potatoes, artichokes, asparagus, apples, strawberries, blueberries, blackberries, apricots, peaches, and depending on the season you’ll find a great assortment of fresh food, not to mention a wide variety of vendors.

Tahoe City Farmers Market 2020Along with our fresh foods, there are also non-perishable goods for sale, which may include clothing, jewelry, soaps, lotions, and there is always the surprise of a new vendor!
