Farmers Markets near Lincoln, CA

Lincoln

Lincoln's downtown market sets up on F Street in Placer County, in a town built on Gladding, McBean & Co., the terra cotta and pipe works that's operated here since the early 1870s. It's a small Sacramento Valley community market, not a large regional draw.

Rocklin

Rocklin is a fast-growing Placer County suburb east of Sacramento, historically a granite-quarrying town before it became a bedroom community. This market runs at the Blue Oaks Center near RC Willey, a suburban stop for growers from the surrounding foothill farms rather than a downtown or historic market.

Expect the usual mix of Placer County produce, cheese, and specialty foods, with shopping-center parking nearby.

Located at 3185 Auburn-Folsom Rd. in Newcastle, a Sierra foothill town in the fruit belt between Auburn and Folsom. Vendors sell local produce and crafts. No current hours are listed publicly — worth a call before visiting.
