Loomis Farmers Market expands focus on local agriculture for 2026 season

The Loomis Farmers Market is expanding for its 2026 season with a sharper focus on locally grown food and Placer County agriculture. The market runs every Thursday from 9 a.m. to noon at Taylor's parking lot at 3636 Taylor Road in Loomis. Organizers are actively seeking vendors who grow or produce food with priority given to fresh produce, seasonal vegetables, citrus, local meats, honey, flowers, plant starts and microgreens. Market organizers say the goal is to create a food-first marketplace that genuinely supports local growers rather than a general craft or vendor fair. The market already has established local vendors and is looking to build on that foundation by recruiting farmers and producers from across the region. Families and community members are encouraged to attend and shop for fresh, locally sourced goods each week. Placer County growers and food producers interested in joining the market can apply online via the Loomis Farmers Market's social media page at @loomisfarmersmarket. Organizers say they hope the market becomes the go-to destination for Loomis residents seeking locally grown food throughout the season.
