Tahoe City Farmers Market 2018
The Tahoe City Farmers Market 2018 will open this Thursday, May 17, 2018!
Our fabulous summer season is almost here! The return of the Tahoe City Farmers Market in downtown Tahoe City is one of those first signals that summer is really on its way here for the North Lake Tahoe area!
If you’ll be up in the greater Tahoe City – Truckee area from May 17 – October 11, 2018 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, and is a weather permitting event.
Local 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.
Items that you may find depending on the season are breads, 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.
Our friend John Paine, owner of Paine Orchards always seems to have the most delicious peaches, nectarines, and pluots through out 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, blue berries, black berries, apricots, peaches (yes, we have our favorite there – John Paine of Paine Orchards), depending on the season you’ll find a great assortment of fresh food, not to mention vendors.
Along 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!
If you you’re in the mood for something to eat right now, you’ll find specialty food vendors, which vary from week to week, but you may find crepes, cupcakes, and Indian food.
