Market Update for June 27th
Pack the Perfect Basket for Great American Picnic Day!
Grab your favorite blanket and head to the market this Saturday, June 27th, because we are celebrating Great American Picnic Day! Whether you are planning a day at the beach, a trip to the park, or a fun family lunch in your own backyard, our stalls have everything you need to build the ultimate outdoor spread: sweet melons, sun-ripened berries, fresh baked goods, delicious hummus dip, refreshing summer veggies, and more.
When you pack your picnic basket with market-fresh finds, you’re investing in quality that lasts. While supermarket food can spend weeks in refrigerated transit and warehouses, our local vendors harvest their fields and bake their goods just hours before the market. This means your freshest foods are taken home at peak flavor and stay fresh all week long. And who doesn’t love less food waste and more value out of every single trip?
For the past 35 years, your Saturday tradition has done more than fill your fridge; it supports our hard-working local growers while providing vital funding for compassionate bereavement care for families throughout Ventura County.
NEW AND FEATURED VENDORS
The Camarillo Farmers Market welcomes our new bakery vendor, Buckaroo Bagels!
Founded in Ventura County, Buckaroo Bagels is a small batch sourdough bagel company that uses long, slow fermentation (20+ hours) to tap into the best possible flavors, textures, and nutritional availability in your bagels.
The longer, hands-on production process demands a special relationship with the dough. All of their bagels are boiled in malted barley and baked on stones. They are also all made the same day as the Market for peak freshness.
Favorite flavors include Everything, Sesame, Poppyseed, Rosemary, Cheddar, and Cinnamon Sugar.
The Buckagroo Bagels team is so excited to meet you at the market and share this delicious baked beauty that is a bagel. Sourdough forever!
Mystic Bottle Pottery is back at the market for the first time this quarter!
Discover handmade functional pottery by Paul Zikmanis, beautifully crafted pieces made to be used and enjoyed every day.
Inspired by the Arts & Crafts movement of early California, Paul’s work is grounded in craftsmanship, function, and the joy of using something made with care.
Paul believes that pottery is meant to be part of your daily life, not just admired from afar. All of Paul’s pots are microwave and dishwasher safe, and his stoneware can even go in the oven.
Come by and find a piece you’ll love to use!

Stop by their booth and experience what makes Underwood Farms so unique.
Say hello to Kettlestone, proud partner of the Camarillo Farmers Market for 15 years!
Kettlestone is a local, family-owned gourmet food vendor known for their fresh, preservative-free hummus and dips. They offer at least 18 varieties of homemade dips, from spicy favorites like Red Pepper and Habañero Hummus to cool, creamy classics like Artichoke, Avocado, and Feta.
Their hummus is made fresh, with no additives — just farm-fresh ingredients and a whole lot of love. Don’t forget to grab a bag of their freshly made pita chips or soft pita bread to go with it.
MARKET MASCOT
Start off your Saturday with some fresh local produce, and bring your children with you! They can participate in a scavenger hunt for our Market Mascot, Mark-ado (made by Michelle Cronk of Little This That Gifts) while you shop.
Our little mascot hangs out at a different vendor’s booth each week. When you spot him, stop by the Market Tent to let us know — we’ll have fun reward stickers waiting!
