Who loves a Farmer’s Market for fresh produce, fruits, eggs, breads, cheeses, and more? Everyone. In Sacramento, we are spoiled, because our California Certified Farmer’s Markets are available, at rotating sites, 7 days a week, with the largest and most popular available year round. Come buy things directly from the California farmers who grew them.

Sacramentans refer to this as as Land Park.  This 166-acre park is south of downtown Sacramento and has everything you need for Sundays in the Park:  Picnic areas, a duck pond, expansive greens, athletic fields and basketball courts, jogging trails, and massive tree canopies everywhere. The park is also home to a golf course, Fairytale Town Amusement Park, a Shakespeare outdoor theater, and the Sacramento Zoo.

Apple Hill in Placerville is an association of more than 50 ranches and wineries and has been welcoming visitors for more than fifty years to sample California wines, tour farms, picks apples, ride trains and ponies, eat pie, eat more pie, buy some pie, and then sleep off pie in a hammock. This isn’t just an Autumnal trip — it’s a year round destination. In the Spring, bring home armfuls of blooms. In the warmer months, visit the Farmer’s Market for summer produce. In the winter, pick out a Christmas tree.
