Why does Lake Tahoe Markets stand apart in a world of produce delivery services? In today’s fast-paced world, produce delivery services are everywhere—offering convenience, variety, and promises of freshness. But when it comes to heart, heritage, and true quality, one name rises above the rest: Lake Tahoe Markets.
While big-name chains and well-funded organizations based outside of Tahoe saturate the Basin with sleek campaigns and carefully crafted assurances, Lake Tahoe Markets remains refreshingly rooted in something deeper: local pride and family values. It’s the only produce delivery service in the region that’s locally owned and family operated, and that distinction makes all the difference.
At Lake Tahoe Markets, farm-fresh produce isn’t just inventory—it’s a relationship. Every apple, ear of corn, and bunch of greens is hand-selected with care, sourced from those trusted farms that share their harvests at the Farmers Markets during the summer with a commitment to quality and sustainability. Lake Tahoe Markets not only knows its growers by name, and but they know their customers personally just as well.
The produce provided by Lake Tahoe Markets is consistently vibrant, flavorful, and farm-fresh, often harvested within 24 hours of delivery. Customers rave about the difference: the snap of a just-picked sugar snap pea, the perfume of a ripe peach, the earthy sweetness of heirloom carrots that taste like they were grown just for you.
This isn’t a faceless operation — Lake Tahoe Markets is a family-run labor of love. The same hands that pack your Market Bags with quality produce are the ones waving to you at the Farmers Market, sharing seasonal recipes and remembering your produce preferences like old friends.
Perhaps the most remarkable thing about Lake Tahoe Markets is its customer service. It’s not just responsive—it’s personal. Rainchecks come with a smile and a story. Substitutions are thoughtful, not automated. And if something’s not quite right, the team makes it right—quickly, kindly, and with genuine care.
In the growing world of produce delivery, customers have no shortage of options. Lake Tahoe Markets offers something rare: real people who truly care. It’s not just about delivering produce. It’s about delivering joy, nourishment, and personal connection.
If farm-fresh delivery has been on your mind, Lake Tahoe Markets is locally owned, family operated and offers FREE delivery of the freshest produce available to the Tahoe Basin.
This roasted seasonal root vegetables recipe is so delicious that you’ll want seconds!
2 beets, preferable 1 red and 1 gold, peeled and chopped into 1-inch chunks
1 large carrot, cut into 1-inch chunks
3 parsnips, chopped into 1-inch chunks
1 medium sweet potato, chopped into 1-inch chunks
1 turnip, chopped into 1-inch chunks
Good quality olive oil, for drizzling
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh rosemary
1 Tbsp. chopped fresh sage leaves
1 Tbsp. fresh thyme leaves
Salt and pepper, to taste
For the crispy sage leaves:
2 Tbsp. olive oil
10 fresh sage leaves
Preheat the oven to 425°F and line two baking sheets with parchment paper. Place the beets and carrots on one baking sheet and the parsnips, sweet potato, and turnip on the other. Drizzle the vegetables with olive oil and sprinkle with the rosemary, sage, thyme, pinches of salt, and several grinds of pepper. Toss to coat and spread evenly on the baking sheets. Roast for 25 to 50 minutes, or until tender and browned around the edges. The parsnips, sweet potato, and turnip will bake for less time. The beet and carrot will roast longer.
Make the crispy sage: Line a plate with paper towels. Heat the olive oil in a small saucepan until bubbling, add the sage leaves, stir, and cook until crisp, about 1 minute. Remove the leaves from the oil and transfer to the prepared plate to drain. Reserve the oil for serving with the vegetables.
Remove the vegetables from the oven and toss with 1 tablespoon of the sage oil. Transfer to a platter and top with the crispy sage leaves.
