As a working mom with three little kids, it’s often difficult for me to get to the farmer’s market. I always have good intentions, but sometimes life gets in the way. That’s why the West Sac Veggie Trike is the best thing to happen to West Sacramento foodies since the Nugget opened. Now, I just have to simply walk outside (shoes optional) and have my pick of some of the best produce in the area.
Meet Collin, the mastermind behind the West Sac Veggie Trike. He pedals fresh fruits and veggies, local honey and eggs around the streets of West Sacramento, all for very reasonable prices. One day you may find him on the state streets and another out in the Bridgeway Island neighborhood. It’s always easy to find him thanks to Facebook and Twitter.
If you live in West Sacramento, supporting a local business is a must! Collin also finds his way to Midtown from time-to-time, so be sure to stop, say hi and pick up some fresh goods.

Grand Opening of Bike Dog Brewery
Attention hop-loving foodies – there’s an innovative new brewery in town! Bike Dog Brewery opens its doors this weekend for their grand opening celebration on Saturday, November 2 from 2:00 to 9:30 p.m. Not only is Bike Dog Brewery one of West Sacramento’s few breweries, it is also the only one in town with a tasting room. Now you can try before you buy these specialty taps.
“Hop” on over to this weekend’s event to enjoy their expanded tap list, food from Drewski’s and local music. And if you ride your bike, there is a free bike valet service, courtesy of Sacramento Area Bicycle Advocates.
Bike Dog is founded by four Sacramentans with a love for bikes, dogs and exceptionally fresh craft beer. In an effort to keep their beer as fresh as possible, they will operate a three-barrel brew house on site. The small size of this brew house means that only small batches can be brewed at a time, ensuring that the beer is always fresh and the recipes innovative.
Can’t make it to the event this weekend? Follow them on Facebook and Twitter to keep up on latest news, or stop in during their business hours from 5:00 – 9:30 p.m. on Fridays and 2:00 – 9:30 p.m. on Saturdays.

Trucktoberfest in West Sacramento
The SacFoodies love a good food truck, (as evidenced here and here), and we’re also fans of great beer, (which we’ve mentioned here and here), which is why we’re loving the sound of this upcoming event. Trucktoberfest, taking place this Saturday, October 5th at River Walk Park in West Sacramento, will combine more than 20 local food trucks, a beer garden and live music – which sounds to us like the makings of a near-perfect Saturday afternoon. Not to mention that this event also benefits a bevy of great organizations, including the American Red Cross, West Sacramento Parks and Recreation, and the Yolo County Food Bank. And…admission is free! To learn more about Trucktoberfest, visit www.sactomofo.com or the Trucktoberfest 2013 Facebook page.
