Farmers Market Season is Here!


Santa Rosa does not have a traditional winter, but we do have an off-season for growing fresh produce. We are please to say that warm weather has returned, and with it, our local farmers markets! Bring on the fresh fruit, vegetables, baked goods and the entertainment and community atmosphere that embodies our local markets! We have compiled the essential information on some of the best markets in our area:

Santa Rosa Farmers Market
The Santa Rosa Farmers Market has been around since 1967! Currently located at the Wells Fargo Center for the Arts, this is a California certified market. This means that all of the produce and poultry available at the market was grown and raised here in California. This market is open Saturdays and Wednesdays from 8:30 AM through 1:30 PM. Please note, this weekend, the market will be held on Sunday and not Saturday due to a previously scheduled event. The Santa Rosa Farmers Market is only a 10-minute drive from Annadel apartment homes.

Santa Rosa West End Farmers Market
The Santa Rosa West End Farmers Market is located in the historic West End district of downtown Santa Rosa next to the DeTurk Round Barn. This market is held every Saturday from 9:30 AM to 2:00 PM from March 15 through December 13, and is just 5 minutes from Annadel!

Roseland Lions' Certified Farmers Market/Tianguis de Santa Rosa
The Tianguis de Santa Rosa farmers market kicks off on May 24 and runs through November 1. This market is open Saturdays and Sundays from 10 AM through 3 PM and is located at 565 Sebastopol Road in Santa Rosa. It is less than 10 minutes away from Annadel.
