Farm to Fork in Sacramento

In Sacramento, Farm to Fork isn't just a passing fad or a marketing slogan -- it's the way we live. Surrounded by 1.5 million acres of farms and ranches that grow more than 160 crops for markets here and abroad, our region has been an agricultural powerhouse for more than a century, boasting a year-round growing season, an ideal climate, and a mouth-watering bounty of crops.

Local restaurants utilize the abundance of regionally grown products to create a farm-to-fork freshness that’s unparalleled. Whether you’re enjoying a burger or an elegant multi-course meal at a Michelin-starred restaurant, local ingredients are on the table. And as the seasons change, so do the Sacramento region’s restaurant menus, ensuring a true taste of local flavor.

You'll also find farm-fresh flavors at more than 40 farmers markets across the region, including the Midtown Farmers Market, recently ranked the #1 farmers market in California. This deep connection to local agriculture has helped shape a culinary scene that’s earned praise from the Michelin Guide, James Beard Foundation, and national outlets like The Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Forbes, and Eater. 

To celebrate the Sacramento region’s incredible food and agriculture, Visit Sacramento created its annual Farm-to-Fork events—an opportunity to introduce people to the chefs, farmers, ranchers, vintners, and brewers who bring delicious food and drinks to our table every day. Since 2013, the Farm-to-Fork events have become some of the country’s most anticipated food and music festivals and culinary experiences, drawing thousands of visitors from across the country and around the world.
