The Chico Certified Farmers’ Market (CCFM) provides a unique opportunity for farmers and vendors to sell directly to the consumer by hosting State Certified Farmers’ Markets. Our first Farmers’ Market began in Chico, CA in July of 1980 and moved several times before finding a home at our current location in the City of Chico Municipal Parking Lot #1 at 2nd and Wall Streets in Downtown Chico, CA.
The Chico Certified Farmers’ Market (CCFM) operates three farmers’ markets in Butte County under the certification of the Butte County Agricultural Commissioner and the State of California Department of Food and Agriculture Direct Marketing Program. The CCFM brings fresh quality locally grown food, and handmade artisan products to Northern California communities at our Markets in Chico and Paradise. In addition to our year-round markets on Saturdays and Wednesdays in Chico, the CCFM operates one seasonal market in Paradise on Monday evenings, and in November and December we host a holiday craft fair at our Chico Wednesday market .
At the Chico Certified Farmers’ Markets, shoppers can find an unlimited selection of fresh picked, locally grown fruit, vegetables, nuts, honey, olive oil, rice, grass fed beef, lamb, ham, chicken, pork, eggs, herbs, flowers, plants, fresh baked artisan breads, handcrafts and prepared foods. Join us and see for yourself!
