Farms in San Leandro, CA

San Leandro · Farmers Market

The Bayfair market has run every Saturday since 1994, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., in the mall's parking lot at 15555 E. 14th St. The California Farmers' Markets Association runs it, pulling in more than 45 growers and food producers — Brentwood corn, Delta asparagus, Watsonville berries. It draws shoppers from San Leandro, Castro Valley, San Lorenzo, and Hayward, and takes EBT. Its exact spot in the lot shifts through the season.

San Leandro · Agritourism Farm

Schmitz Ranch has raised livestock for the Bay Area since 1944, now in its third generation of the Schmitz family running the operation. It's registered as a wholesale meat business rather than a pick-your-own farm, so hours and product availability are best confirmed by phone before a visit. The ranch operates out of 410 Hester Street in San Leandro.

A farm listing in San Leandro, California. The operation's website was still in pre-launch status during research, with crops, hours, and products not yet published.

San Leandro · CSA Farm, Produce Farm

Dig Deep Farms & Produce is a CSA and produce operation based in the Ashland area of unincorporated San Leandro, in Alameda County. Its website is under construction, so crop details, share pricing, and pickup locations are not confirmed online at this time; contact the farm directly for current offerings.

San Leandro · Farmers Market

Pacific Coast Farmers' Market Association runs this certified market on the Kaiser Permanente San Leandro campus at 2500 Merced Street. Local growers bring fresh, seasonal produce and goods to hospital staff, patients, and San Leandro residents as part of PCFMA's Bay Area network of more than 30 certified markets.

San Leandro · Farmers Market

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.

Alameda · Agritourism Farm

This Alameda address is Niman Ranch's corporate office rather than a working farm open to visitors. Niman Ranch is a natural, sustainably raised meat brand supplied by a network of more than 600 independent family farms and ranches nationwide, raised without antibiotics or added hormones under Certified Humane standards. Farm visits happen at individual member ranches, not at this office.

Alameda · Farmers Market

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.

Castro Valley · Farmers Market

Castro Valley Farmers' Market runs Saturdays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., year-round at the Castro Valley BART station, rain or shine. Urban Village Farmers' Markets operates it and matches EBT spending dollar for dollar up to $15 on fruits and vegetables, a real discount, not a marketing line. The market also takes WIC and Veggie Rx vouchers.

Oakland · Farmers Market

Set inside the Fruitvale Transit Village at 3411 E. 12th St., steps from BART, this market is run by the Unity Council as part of a larger community hub. Vendors sell fresh seasonal fruit and vegetables alongside Latin American food stalls and crafts. Call the Unity Council at 510-535-7178 to confirm the current market day — listings disagree on whether it runs Thursdays or Sundays.

Union City · Farmers Market

This certified market runs every Tuesday, 10am to 2pm, year-round and rain or shine, at Kaiser Permanente's medical offices on Whipple Road in Union City. Growers sell fresh California produce, and many — though not all — of the fruits and vegetables are grown without chemical treatment. It's a weekly stop for hospital staff, patients, and neighborhood shoppers looking for fresh food close to home.

Alameda · Farmers Market

Pacific Coast Farmers' Market Association operates a certified market in Alameda's West End near Haight Avenue and Webster Street on Tuesdays and Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. Alameda is an island city in the East Bay, and the market draws growers from Central Valley and coastal farms who sell direct rather than through wholesale.

Union City · Farmers Market

Runs Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Old Alvarado Park, one of more than 30 certified markets across the Bay Area operated by the nonprofit Pacific Coast Farmers' Market Association. Alameda County growers set up stalls along the historic Alvarado townsite in Union City to sell direct to shoppers.

Saturday market at Splash Pad Park, Grand Avenue and Lake Park Avenue in Oakland, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., year-round.

Oakland · Agritourism Farm, Pumpkin Patch

This Oakland lot on Piedmont Avenue has sold pumpkins to the neighborhood for over two decades, open daily 9am-8pm through the first week of November. Hay bales and a small kids' area sit alongside the pumpkin selection, which reviewers note runs smaller and pricier than a farm-based patch. Located at 4414 Piedmont Avenue.
