Fridays, Seasonal

A Friday Morning Tradition Takes Root in Cameron Park

At the Cameron Park Community Center, shoppers can fill a tote, meet
local growers and makers, and spend an easy morning supporting the
people behind the food and goods they love.

On a Friday morning in Cameron Park, the best reason to leave a little extra room in your market bag may be the thing you did not know you were looking for: a just-picked basket of produce, a loaf still fragrant from the oven, a bottle of gourmet olive oil, a handmade gift, or a conversation with someone who can tell you exactly how it was grown, baked, poured, printed, stitched, or crafted.

That is the appeal of the Cameron Park Certified Farmers Market in Cameron Park, where loyal marketgoers and curious first-time visitors can spend the morning with local farmers, family-owned businesses, and artisans who bring care and personality to everything they offer.

Held at the Cameron Park Community Center, 2502 Country Club Drive in Cameron Park, the market offers a comfortable and convenient setting for a relaxed morning of shopping. The facility is a true community hub. Market visitors will especially appreciate the ample shade, abundant parking, and easy-going vibe.

The vendor mix reflects the best of what farmers markets can offer: seasonal fruits and vegetables, locally grown produce, olive oil, baked goods, artisanal soaps, artisanal candles, jewelry, 3D-printed items, clothing, and other distinctive goods made or brought to market
by people who care about their craft.

Consider holding off on breakfast and coffee before you arrive, then treating yourself at the market, where fresh baked goods and morning-friendly finds offer the kind of flavor, care, and local character no chain can match.

Every purchase is more than a transaction; it is a way to keep dollars close to home, encourage small businesses, and celebrate the creativity and hard work of local farmers, food producers, and makers.

Market season runs Fridays from May 22 through October, 8:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. Whether you are stocking up for the weekend, choosing one-of-a-kind gifts from local artisans, meeting friends, or simply enjoying a shaded morning outdoors, the Cameron Park market offers a cheerful weekly reason to gather and support the local economy.

A helpful way to make the market part of your weekly routine is to make two grocery lists before you head out.

Keep one list for supermarket-only staples such as detergent, toilet paper, and other household basics, and make a second list for items you are likely to find at the farmers market: fresh produce, baked goods, olive oil, flowers, handmade gifts, and seasonal surprises.

It is a simple shift that helps shoppers plan, buy fresher (and higher quality) food, and give more of their weekly grocery dollars to local farms and small businesses.

The Cameron Park Certified Farmers Market in Cameron Park is managed by the El Dorado County Certified Farmers’ Market Association, which also manages certified farmers markets in Placerville, El Dorado Hills, and South Lake Tahoe.

Together, these markets create a countywide network where residents and visitors can meet farmers, discover local makers, learn what is in season and build lasting relationships with the people behind the food and goods they love.

This season, make the Cameron Park market part of your Friday routine: bring a tote, invite a friend, shop with purpose, and help keep El Dorado County’s local farms and small businesses thriving. For market details and other EDCCFMA locations, visit www.eldoradofarmersmarket.com.
