Pet Policy
No dogs are allowed. We love dogs, but California law does not allow them to join you at the farmers’ market unless they are service animals. California Health & Safety Code 114259.5 stipulates that live animals aren’t allowed in Certified Farmers’ Markets and permitted food facilities, with the exception of service animals.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
Is it kid friendly?
Yes! The Meadowview Certified Farmers’ Market is a kid-friendly gathering. We will always have an area for kids to have fun, with activities like sidewalk chalk, hula hoops, cornhole, and giant Connect 4. We now have Kid Bucks vouchers for children 12 and under. We also have a bookshelf of free books, including plenty of titles for kids. Follow us on social media so you can be sure to know when we have special events for kids!
How do Kids Bucks work?
Each week, every child age 12 and under can visit the Market Manager Information Booth and receive a single $5 Kids Bucks voucher. Yes, babies are eligible for Kids Bucks, too! These vouchers can be spent on any farm/agricultural products at the market. This includes fresh fruit, vegetables, produce, eggs, nuts, honey, mushrooms, flowers, herbs, and edible plant starts. No change is given for these vouchers, so they need to be spent with a single vendor all at once. The Kids Bucks must be used on the day they are issued. There are no family income requirements to be eligible for Kids Bucks.
Are pets allowed?
No pets are allowed. We love dogs and all animals, but California law does not allow them to join you at the farmers’ market unless they are service animals. California Health & Safety Code 114259.5 stipulates that live animals aren’t allowed in Certified Farmers’ Markets and permitted food facilities, with the exception of service animals.
How do I become a vendor?
You can apply through our vendor application online. We are looking for more certified agricultural producers, but also welcome applications from small local food businesses. Our focus is on high quality food products, but we may consider non-edible craft products if they are high-quality, locally-made, unique, and especially if crafted from local ingredients and materials. Value-added products from certified agricultural producers are very welcome (e.g. beeswax candles from apiarists, fiber arts from herders, etc.). Have a different type of business offering a service or product? You can always apply and give us the chance to consider it.
I want/My group wants to perform at the farmers’ market. How do I reach out?
You can start the conversation with our Live Performance interest form.
My organization would like to table at the farmers’ market. How do I connect?
If your organization is interested in having a Community Partner Booth, please let us know through this form. The purpose of Community Partner Booths is to provide free information, services, etc., to the benefit of farmers’ market customers. The selection and approval of community partners granted access to booth opportunities is at the discretion of Alchemist CDC. We anticipate a high level of interest in these limited booth opportunities and may not be able to provide access for all who are interested.
When does Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates (SABA) provide free bike repair at the market?
In 2025, SABA’s “Ride Ready Repair” service is available at the Meadowview Certified Farmers’ Market on the first Sunday of every month, from May to October. Bring your bike out for a tune up while you buy delicious local foods!
