Farmers Market - Oak Park

Oak Park Farmers Market: Because We Want Everyone To Eat Their Vegetables!  The Oak Park Farmers Market was formed in 2010 to fill a need in one of Sacramento’s food deserts. A community survey conducted at the time revealed that residents couldn’t easily access fresh, healthy produce. In response, the Oak Park Farmers Market was created. Since its opening, the market has served an average of 1,500 visitors per week. The market attracts small farms run by women and people of color, creating the dual benefit of supporting local farmers while feeding a community with a high rate of food insecurity.  One third of sales at the market come from EBT \(food stamps\), while donations allow the market to match EBT sales dollar-for-dollar up to $20 per customer. We’re improving access to healthy, affordable food in this low-income food desert. Oak Park Farmers Market is a California Certified Farmers Market.
