The Woodland Farmers Market at Woodland Healthcare

The Woodland Farmers Market traces its mission to bringing fresh and local goods to the Woodland community, with roots that go back to its 1996 opening as a weekly summer market for Woodland residents. That long run matters here because this is not a pop-up with a single format: the market now operates on both Tuesdays and Saturdays during its June-to-August season, with the Tuesday market at Dignity Health at Woodland Memorial Hospital and Saturday activity tied to downtown on First Street in front of the Woodland Public Library.

Why it matters locally

The market began after planning sparked from a meeting between two small family farmers, and it officially opened in 1996 so Woodland residents could have easy access to fresh local produce. That origin still shapes the market’s identity: it presents itself as a place for fresh and local goods in Woodland, and its own history emphasizes quality goods at reasonable prices during a weekly summer season.

Its local footprint also shows up in where it operates and who joins in. The market’s permanent downtown home is on First Street in front of the Woodland Public Library, where Story Time is offered at every Saturday market. Beyond the library connection, the market highlights collaborations with the Woodland Police Department, the Woodland Fire Department, and the California Highway Patrol for community events.

What you'll find there

The mix here leans heavily toward summer fruit and produce, with a smaller supporting cast of olive oil, baked goods, prepared food, body care, candles, and ranch products. That makes the market feel especially tuned to peak-season shopping rather than a broad year-round assortment.

Know before you go

No dogs is the clearest rule to plan around. If you are choosing between market days, note that the Tuesday market was moved in 2024 to the First Street location for better parking and less confusion for customers, while the event calendar also places Tuesday activity at Dignity Health at Woodland Memorial Hospital. Saturday activity is tied to First Street in front of the Woodland Public Library, which is also where library Story Time happens in the grass during Saturday markets. The visitor details also indicate that restrooms are not available.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted at the market. The market also presents payment information as clear for visitors, which is useful if you are planning a produce run across fruit vendors, bakery stops, and prepared food in one trip.
