The abundance of the fertile Northern California valley is clear when you walk through the farmers market and see the huge variety of fruits, vegetables, nuts and grains grown in this region. Grocery stores are convenient, but there is something special about a farmers market. ## Support the Local Economy When you spend your money at the farmers market you support local farmers. Keeping your money in our community is essential to job creation and community growth. Also, there is more than just produce at farmers markets, there is fresh hot food, good drinks and all sorts of products and crafts from local artisans. It's also a great opportunity to explore [downtown businesses](https://blog.hignellrentals.com/exploring-downtown-while-living-in-chico-video). ## It's FRESH! When you buy from a local farmers market you know that you are getting fresh produce. Many local farms are pesticide and GMO free and some are even certified organic. Also, the fruit and veggies are harvested when they are nice and ripe and end up at the market within days of being harvested. At a grocery store you will often find produce that has been shipped in from out of state or even outside the country. That means those fruits and vegetables are often harvested before they are fully ripe so they can make the long journey to end up in your local grocery store. ## Where, When and How? The two hottest farmers markets in town are the Thursday Night Market and the Saturday Farmers Market. > **[Thursday Night Market](https://www.downtownchico.com/event-thursday-night-market_16.htm)** > **April 5 – September 27, 2018 | 6-9 pm** > Downtown Chico on Broadway between 2nd and 5th Street > > From [DowntownChico.com](https://www.downtownchico.com/): > *Explore Downtown Chico's Thursday Night Market on Broadway between 2nd and 5th Street, including side streets and the fabulous City Plaza! This festive, weekly market is a ton of fun and features a bounty of farm-fresh produce from CDFA certified farmers, mouth-watering prepared foods from food trucks and booths, handmade, local arts and crafts, and live entertainment for all ages.* > **PETS ARE NOT PERMITTED AT THE MARKET PER CALIFORNIA RETAIL FOOD CODE CHAPTER 12, SECTION 114371(d). > * > > **[Saturday Farmers Market](http://chicofarmersmarket.com/)** > **YEAR ROUND, RAIN or SHINE 7:30am – 1pm** > Downtown Chico Municipal Parking Lot [2nd St. & Wall St.](https://www.google.com/maps/place/Chico+Certified+Farmers%27+Market/@39.73077,-121.838972,17z/data=%213m1%214b1%214m2%213m1%211s0x808327b9f034d507:0xdc95062cc3956294) > > If you want the biggest variety of fruits, veggies and fresh food this is the market for you. Bring a basket or reusable shopping bag and fill it with beautiful seasonal produce. You'll be amazed with the options and happy with the reasonable prices. **Pro Tip:** Even though many vendors now accept credit cards using mobile devices like Square, **cash is still king**. Some vendors may only accept cash and all vendors appreciate it since they don't lose 2-3% to the credit card processing fees. Using cash is also a good way to set a pre-determined budget for yourself and not overspend. ## Apartments Near the Farmers Markets [Parking downtown](https://blog.hignellrentals.com/parking-secrets-for-downtown-chico-at-your-chico-apartment) is generally not too bad, but there are some great **local apartments nearby that are actually walking distance** on a nice Chico day.
