The Modesto Certified Farmers' Market is a beloved community hub in the heart of Modesto, CA. Since its inception in 1979, this market has been a vital link between local farmers and consumers, offering a wide array of fresh produce, mouthwatering food, and unique artisanal products.

Founded by Ron Alves, Ray Rodgers, and Mayor Peggy Mensinger, this market has been a pioneer in promoting the concept of farm-to-table long before it became a popular trend. With a mission to eliminate the middleman, the market ensures that shoppers get the freshest goods directly from the source.

More than just a market, Modesto Certified Farmers' Market is a vibrant community space that hosts free family activities, giveaways, and special events every month. Located conveniently on 16th Street in downtown Modesto, the market invites locals to come together, support small-scale farmers, and enjoy a lively shopping experience.
