WELCOME TO RANCHO VIEJO
FARMERS MARKET

A Farmers Market encouraging patrons to "Buy Organic and Local" while striving to provide quality, organic and locally grown produce and hand crafted goods.

Mission and Vision

The Mission of Rancho Farmers Market is to support, promote and expand local organic agriculture, making quality fresh products accessible to the community and strengthen relationships between local food producers and food consumers.

The Vision of Rancho Viejo Farmers Market is to be a steward of local agriculture and raise community awareness about the benefits of eating healthy- a strong organization growing in reputation and cultural relevance, with increased market sales, solid alignment between Farmers and Food Producers, and recognition as a thought-leader and innovator in collaborative relationships.

Spirit of our Market

The success of the market is the result of a collaborative partnership between the City of Rancho Viejo, The Rancho Viejo Farmers Market, The Rancho Viejo Country Club, the vendors, and the markets’ customers. Our mutual objective is to continue to increase the availability of high-quality local foods and the customer demand for those foods. Our Farmer’s Market must maintain a larger proportion of farmers to other vendors to maintain its status as a farmer’s market and fulfill our mission of sourcing fresh local food from our farmers to our families in Rancho Viejo and the surrounding area. To support this objective, preference is given to those vendors who clearly demonstrate adherence to the principles of local. Farmers may sell only the produce they grow on their local farms, ranchers may sell only the animal products raised on their local ranches, and packaged and prepared food vendors who use a maximum of locally supplied ingredients are given preference.

Market Location

Market set up is every last Thursday of the month at Rancho Viejo Town Hall featuring a variety of vendors who will be set up in designated areas by the lawn, Garden Bistro Café area, butterfly garden, paved parking lot, and side street of Hidalgo.
