Petaluma

FEED Sonoma is a farmer- and employee-owned food hub in Petaluma that aggregates produce from more than 60 North Bay farms into one supply chain. It sells FEED Bin multi-farm boxes direct to households and moves wholesale volume to restaurants, retailers, school districts, and corporate kitchens across Sonoma and Marin counties. The cooperative structure means the growers filling the boxes also own a stake in the business selling them.

Novato

Novato

The City of Novato runs this one on Tuesdays, May through October, on Sherman Avenue next to City Hall's lawn — 4 to 8pm through summer, trimming to 4 to 7pm as the season winds down in October. Local growers set up alongside prepared-food stalls, live music, and kids' activities, making the grassy setting as much a weeknight hangout as a produce run. It's seasonal, not year-round.

Boyes Hot Springs

Sonoma

Held on Sonoma Plaza, this evening market features farm-fresh produce, gourmet packaged foods, handcrafted goods from local artisans, ready-to-eat offerings, and live music, presented by the City of Sonoma with the Sonoma Valley Chamber of Commerce.

Santa Rosa

SANTA ROSA

Santa Rosa is the Sonoma County seat, surrounded by vineyards, orchards, and dairy operations rather than row crops. This market runs on Maple Avenue, one of several stops the Redwood Empire Farmers' Markets group operates around the North Bay for growers selling direct instead of through wholesale.

San Rafael

The Sunday Marin Farmers' Market at the Frank Lloyd Wright-designed Marin County Civic Center is the third-largest weekly farmers market in California, with over 150 year-round vendors every Sunday from 8 AM to 1 PM, rain or shine. Shoppers find organic produce, grass-fed meats, 32+ varieties of cheese, baked goods, and hot food from diverse cultures; the Agricultural Institute of Marin accepts CalFresh EBT, Market Match, and WIC, and the market is reachable by car, SMART train, or bike trail.

Novato

A farmers market on Donahue Street in Santa Rosa's West End neighborhood, in Sonoma County wine country.

San Rafael

Marinwood Community Farmers' Market operates on Marinwood Avenue in the Marinwood neighborhood of San Rafael. Marin County is home to some of the Bay Area's best-known organic and small-scale farms, and this market serves the community north of downtown San Rafael.

Point Reyes Station

Sebastopol

Nestled in the heart of downtown Sebastopol, what appears to be a small community market is actually brimming with produce, artisan goods, craft vendors, and even novelty services such as knife sharpening, chef demos, and more! Not only that, but each of our vendors is either hyper-local(from Sonoma County, or an adjacent county), or longstanding, meaning they have been selling at the Sebastopol Farmers' Market for many, many years! Highly vetted and approved local musicians take the stage week after week, giving us that good Sunday feeling!

San Rafael

The Sunday market at the Marin Civic Center, run by the Agricultural Institute of Marin, has been ranked among the top ten farmers markets in the country. It runs year-round, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., off Ave. of the Flags in the Veterans Memorial Auditorium lot — a big enough footprint that AIM also uses it for food-education programs alongside the produce stands. It's the larger of AIM's two San Rafael markets.

Fairfax

San Anselmo

The Agricultural Institute of Marin runs this Friday-evening market, 4 to 8pm through October, in the Elan Fitness Center parking lot at 220 Greenfield Avenue. It's one of several certified markets the nonprofit operates around Marin County, built around organic produce, grass-fed meats, and baked goods from small regional farms rather than resellers. Like most Marin markets, it closes for the winter months.

Santa Rosa

San Rafael

AIM's Thursday market takes over 4th Street near B Street in downtown San Rafael, 8 a.m. to 1 p.m., year-round. It's the smaller sibling to the Institute's Sunday market at the Civic Center — same certified growers, same rule that farmers only sell what they grow, just a tighter downtown footprint suited to a lunch-hour or after-work stop rather than a full grocery haul.

A certified farmers market serving the Solano and Napa County area, where Central Valley and North Bay growers sell seasonal produce direct to shoppers.

Calistoga

Calistoga Farmers' Market runs year-round, Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Sharpsteen Plaza on Washington Street, rain or shine. Napa Valley growers bring vine- and tree-ripened fruit and vegetables, cut flowers, and ornamental plants, alongside olive oil, Mediterranean deli goods, free-range eggs, and honey. A different local musician plays most Saturdays.

Napa

Downtown Napa's certified farmers market runs Saturdays year-round, 8 a.m. to noon, with an added Tuesday market during the growing season (April through December). Regional growers sell produce and flowers alongside vendors offering specialty foods and artisan goods. It operates in a city lot in downtown Napa, in wine country, but produce and flowers are the actual draw.

Mill Valley Farmers Market is held on East Blithedale Avenue in downtown Mill Valley, at the base of Mount Tamalpais in Marin County. The market draws on Marin and North Bay growers known for organic and small-scale farming.

American Canyon

American Canyon's Sunday farmers market runs from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. at 100 Benton Way, next to the community center and Donaldson Way Elementary. The American Canyon Parks Foundation helped bring the market to the city, working with PCFMA to book local growers selling seasonal fruit, vegetables, and artisan cheese. Call for vendor or sponsorship questions.

Richmond

Urban Tilth runs North Richmond Farm, a 10-acre urban agriculture site that anchors the group's food justice work in Richmond, California. The nonprofit sells CSA shares, gives away produce at free farm stands, hands out fruit trees through its Orchard for ALL program, and grows native plants at its own nursery. It also trains and hires local residents to do the growing, treating job creation as part of the food-access mission.

Vallejo

This certified market runs every Friday, 10am to 2pm, year-round and rain or shine, on the Kaiser Permanente campus at 975 Sereno Drive in Vallejo. Local growers bring fresh, California-grown produce to hospital patients, staff, and the surrounding neighborhood every week, with no seasonal closures.

Vallejo

Runs Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. at Georgia and Marin Streets in downtown Vallejo, one of the Bay Area markets operated by the nonprofit Pacific Coast Farmers' Market Association. Solano County growers sell produce a few blocks from the waterfront along the Carquinez Strait.

Richmond

Richmond Main Street Initiative, a nonprofit working to bring foot traffic back to downtown Richmond, runs this Wednesday market, 10am to 2pm, at Nevin Plaza near Nevin Avenue and 13th Street. Fresh seasonal produce shares the plaza with live music, artisan vendors, baked goods, and kettle corn — part farmers market, part weekly gathering point for a neighborhood in the middle of a comeback.

Pinole

The Pacific Coast Farmers' Market Association runs this Saturday market, 9am to 1pm, year-round, at Fernandez Avenue. It's one of more than 30 certified markets PCFMA operates across the Bay Area, all built around the same rule — vendors have to grow or make what they're selling, no resellers. A steady, no-frills produce market rather than a festival-style event.

Richmond

Richmond's certified market sets up at 24th Street and Barrett Avenue in the city's Iron Triangle neighborhood, an East Bay refinery and shipping town more associated with industry than farmland. Growers from the surrounding Bay Area counties sell direct here rather than through wholesale channels.

Crockett

Crockett is a small Carquinez Strait town built around the C&H Sugar refinery, which still operates as C&H's headquarters today, though it now processes imported raw sugar rather than the Hawaiian cane it ran on for most of the 20th century. This market serves Crockett and neighboring Port Costa, two of Contra Costa County's smallest communities.

Guerneville

A farmers market at Duncans Mills on the Russian River in west Sonoma County, near where the river meets the redwood coast at Highway 116.

El Cerrito

A weekly farmers market at El Cerrito Plaza, a Contra Costa County shopping center next to the El Cerrito Plaza BART station.

Benicia's Thursday market has run along the Historic Waterfront since 1993, making it the largest independent certified farmers market in Solano County. Peak-season hours run 4 to 8 p.m. through late August, then shift to 4 to 7 p.m. through October as daylight shortens. Beyond produce, tables cover specialty foods, artisan goods, and live music most weeks. Benicia Main Street runs it.
