Garden Valley

A small mountain-town market at Garden Valley Park, at the corner of Marshall Grade and Garden Valley roads in the El Dorado foothills. Online details are thin beyond the address and phone number, which fits a market this size and this local — call ahead if you're coming from out of the area.

Expect the usual mix of Placer County produce, cheese, and specialty foods, with shopping-center parking nearby.
