Visit the McKinleyville Farmers' Market to purchase the freshest farm goods, all non-GMO and grown in Humboldt County. 

​This market has a huge variety of locally grown produce, decorative and edible plants, and locally caught fish.

Vendors come from around the county to bring their bounty to McKinleyville.  Warm weather crops like peaches, tomatoes, and peppers come from as far as Petrolia and Willow Creek, and our own McKinleyville farmers bring coastal favorites like kale and potatoes.  We also have a great selection of decorative plants, like succulents and begonias, and edibles like blueberries, figs, and currants.

Hungry? There's a barbecue truck located IN market just for your convenience! Or, snack on a basket of strawberries or figs as you enjoy the local musicians and spending time with your neighbors.

We are located in the parking lot of the Eureka Natural Foods McKinleyville location, so parking is never an issue and your car is close by to load full of your favorite goodies from the market.  PLUS, make sure to stop in Eureka Natural Foods for whatever else you need to complete your shopping list!
