FARMER'S MARKETS BY CITY 

IN VENTURA COUNTY

From produce, fruit and eggs to baked goods and meats, you’ll find delicious fresh food at the Camarillo Market.

You can taste the difference, because it all comes straight from the farm to the market, ripe and ready to enjoy. It is California farm fresh food from real farmers, every Saturday morning at the Camarillo Farmers Market. Our vendors sell a wide selection of the highest quality locally grown produce, pasture raised meats, eggs, cheeses, breads, pastries, woodwork, metalwork, jewelry, clothing, pottery, woven rugs, baskets, and much more.

Each time you make a purchase at the market, a percentage of that gross sale is donated by the vendors. Those donations benefit free grief and bereavement services at our Camarillo Grief and Bereavement Center.
