Sacramento has officially branded itself "America's Farm-to-Fork Capital" — and our farmers markets are where that identity really comes to life. With over 40 farmers markets across the region, some open year-round, there's really no excuse not to make it out to one.

Sacramento's dining scene has quietly become one of the most compelling reasons to love this city. Built on the region's farm-to-fork identity and shaped by its cultural diversity, the food here reflects both where it's grown and who calls this city home.
