Sunrise Mall Farmers Market

Sunrise Mall Farmers Market ties a weekly grocery stop to the broader Living Smart mission of educating youth and families in health, business, financial management, and life skills. In Citrus Heights, that gives the Saturday market a distinct frame: it operates under the Living Smart Farmers Markets banner while offering room for up to 80 vendors and accepting WIC/EBT benefits. The market runs year-round at 6196 Sunrise Boulevard, pairing a regular weekly schedule with free parking and a mix that regular visitors describe as produce-forward with crafts, plants, prepared food, and live music.

Why it matters locally

Living Smart Farmers Markets organizes Sunrise Mall Farmers Market as part of a larger effort centered on health, life skills, and financial education for youth and families. That mission gives this market a clearer civic purpose than a simple pop-up retail event, especially because the same organization also manages a calendar of public makers marts and seasonal festivals across nearby places including Folsom, Vernon Square in Roseville, Maidu Community Park, and Historic Folsom Plaza.

Locally, the practical impact is visible in access: the Sunrise Mall market is open year-round, has free parking, and accepts WIC/EBT benefits. The vendor application materials also show an emphasis on farm products including fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts, honey, flowers, and USDA products such as meats and poultry, pointing to a market built around staple food shopping as well as added-value goods.

What you'll find there

The strongest through-line here is a farm-and-food base with room for plants, crafts, and prepared items. Visitor comments point to a market where produce leads, but the mix extends beyond raw ingredients into snack stops and browseable handmade goods.

• -Find fruits, vegetables, herbs, nuts, honey, and flowers from farmer vendors.
• -Look for USDA products including meats and poultry through farm-focused vendor applications.
• -Browse crafts that visitors specifically call out as part of the market’s variety.
• -Pick up plants alongside produce and other weekly staples.
• -Grab prepared items such as popcorn and drinks mentioned by returning shoppers.
• -Catch at least one food truck or food booth, plus live music, during market visits.

Know before you go

No dogs is the detail most likely to change your plan for a Saturday visit. The market takes place at 6196 Sunrise Boulevard in Citrus Heights and offers free parking, which simplifies arrival if you are coming by car for a larger grocery run. Because the market runs year-round on Saturday mornings into early afternoon, it works as a regular errand stop rather than a short seasonal window.

Expect a relatively large setup: Living Smart says the market can host up to 80 vendors. One visitor described finding vegetables, crafts, plants, a food truck or booth, and live music, while another highlighted fruit, vegetables, popcorn, and drinks. Restrooms are not listed among visitor amenities, so plan accordingly.

Payments & SNAP

WIC/EBT benefits are accepted at Sunrise Mall Farmers Market, an important detail for shoppers planning to use nutrition assistance on a weekly grocery trip. Payment information is otherwise presented clearly for visitors, and the market pairs that access with free parking and a year-round Saturday schedule.
