Riverbank, in Stanislaus County, hosts an annual Cheese and Wine Festival every October that draws visitors from across the Central Valley. This certified market runs on Santa Fe Street in the small town, a direct-sale stop for growers from the surrounding dairy and produce farms.

Gustine

Run by the Gustine Recreation Department at Henry Miller Park, 3rd Avenue and 6th Street, in this small San Joaquin Valley farm town named for 19th-century cattle rancher Henry Miller. Offers local produce and handcrafted goods; check the city's Parks and Recreation department for the current seasonal schedule, since listed hours vary by source.

Oakdale

Oakdale Morning Market, as it's officially named, is a newer addition to downtown — Saturdays, 8 to 11am, May through September, on North 3rd Avenue. It launched to give local growers and small businesses a direct line to Oakdale shoppers, rotating vendors and artisans weekly rather than running a fixed lineup. It's seasonal and summer-only, so it disappears once fall hits.

Ripon calls itself the Almond Capital of the World, its economy built largely on almond production in the San Joaquin Valley. This certified market runs at Mavis Stouffer Park on Stouffer Street in town, drawing growers from the almond orchards and row-crop farms that surround it.

Merced

Merced Original County Farmers' Market sets up at the corner of 19th and N Streets in downtown Merced, in the San Joaquin Valley farm belt. As one of the county's longer-running markets, it connects Central Valley growers directly with Merced shoppers.
