Farmers Markets near San Francisco, CA

San Francisco

Farm stands line 24th Street between Sanchez and Vicksburg every Saturday, 8am to 1pm, in the middle of Noe Valley's commercial strip. It's a certified California market — every vendor grows what they sell, no resellers.

This certified market sets up in a parking lot between 8th and 9th Avenue off Irving Street every Sunday, 9am to 1pm, year-round.

Clement Street closes to traffic every Sunday from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. for this Richmond District market, rain or shine, year-round.

Since 2026 the nonprofit Foodwise has operated the market with the City of San Francisco, working with dozens of small family farms on seasonal produce. Free parking on site, and CalFresh and WIC are accepted.

The Crocker Galleria farmers market sets up under the glass dome at 50 Post St in San Francisco's Financial District every Thursday, 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. It's a lunch-hour market built for downtown office workers — organic produce next to ready-to-eat bolani, tamales, smoked seafood, and chocolate. Shoppers note prices run a notch below the Ferry Building market a few blocks away, which is part of why the line moves fast at noon.

Run by the Agricultural Institute of Marin, which operates nine Bay Area markets.

Specific details on this listing's current operations were not independently verified.

Emeryville

This market's address places it at the Bay Street shopping center at 5616 Bay Street in Emeryville, though a check of Bay Street's own site turned up no active farmers market listing — Emeryville's Saturday market now runs instead at the Public Market on Shellmound Street.

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.

Tuesday and Saturday market at 1451 Harbor Bay Pkwy. in Alameda, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., spring through fall. It's part of the PCFMA (Pacific Coast Farmers' Market Association) network, which runs certified markets across the Bay Area sourced directly from grower-vendors.

Burlingame Fresh Market opens every Sunday from May through December, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., along Park Road at Burlingame Avenue.

It also trains and hires local residents to do the growing, treating job creation as part of the food-access mission.

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.

Oakland

San Mateo

The San Mateo Farmers' Market, run by the Pacific Coast Farmers' Market Association, is held Saturdays from 9 AM to 1 PM year-round at 1700 W Hillsdale Boulevard, connecting Peninsula shoppers with California farmers and their seasonal harvests.

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.

Like most Marin markets, it closes for the winter months.

San Mateo

Pacific Coast Farmers' Market Association runs this certified market on 25th Avenue in San Mateo every Tuesday from 3 to 7 p.m., timed for the after-work and after-school crowd.

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.

A farmers market on Foster City Boulevard in Foster City, a San Mateo County community built on filled bay marshland starting in the 1960s.

Fairfax

San Leandro

Pacific Coast Farmers' Market Association runs this certified market on the Kaiser Permanente San Leandro campus at 2500 Merced Street.

San Leandro

San Leandro's downtown market closes off Parrott Street between E. 14th and Washington Wednesdays from April through October, 3 to 7 p.m. It's a smaller, after-work market than the city's Saturday Bayfair market — produce, cut flowers, and baked goods packed into a few downtown blocks instead of a mall parking lot. Exact start and end dates shift year to year, so it's worth checking before the first spring visit.

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.

Orinda

San Rafael

Belmont

PCFMA's Belmont Farmers' Market runs every Sunday, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., year-round at 1201 El Camino Real, near the O'Neill Street intersection.

Shoppers can check pcfma.org for the current week's vendor roster before heading over.
