Chico

Chico Certified Farmers' Market runs year-round, rain or shine, from 7:30 a.m. to noon at the North Valley Plaza lot on Pillsbury Road, next to Trader Joe's. The nonprofit behind it actually operates five separate markets across Butte County under the county Agricultural Commissioner's certification. Vendors sell locally grown produce, USDA Certified Organic goods, and handmade items; EBT, WIC, and Market Match are accepted.

Paradise

Orland

Saturday market at Library Park, 4th and Mill Streets in Orland, roughly June through September, 9 a.m. to noon. Glenn County growers bring fruit, vegetables, nuts, and rice — a combination distinctive to this stretch of the Sacramento Valley — along with baked goods and crafts. A sister market runs Wednesdays in nearby Willows.

Oroville

Myers and Bird Streets fill with vendor tents on Saturdays, 9am to 1pm, from spring through fall — fresh produce, baked goods, and handmade crafts from Butte County growers and makers. It's a seasonal market rather than a year-round operation, closing once the growing season tapers off. The Oroville tourism office keeps current vendor listings for anyone planning a visit.
