Fremont

Forty-plus growers set up every Saturday, 9am to 1pm, in Niles Town Plaza on Niles Blvd — rain or shine, straight through holidays most markets close for. Alongside produce you'll find local honey, dairy, meats, coffee roasters, bakeries, and fresh-pressed juices, plus live music most weeks. The market takes SNAP/CalFresh and Veggie Rx vouchers, which plenty of certified California markets still don't. It's been a fixture of Fremont's historic Niles district for years.

Fremont

Fremont's Irvington district hosts this certified market every Sunday, 9am to 2pm, year-round, at Bay Street and Trimboli Way. Regional growers bring strawberries, corn, tomatoes, peppers, peaches, and specialty greens alongside kettle corn, fresh bread, honey, and fish. The market accepts CalFresh EBT and Market Match, doubling produce dollars for shoppers who qualify. Street parking runs along Trimboli, Bay Street, and Irvington Avenue — the Monument Shopping Center lot is off-limits.

Fremont

Kaiser Permanente's Fremont Medical Center at 39400 Paseo Padre Parkway hosts a certified farmers market on its campus, giving local growers a spot to sell fresh produce to patients, staff, and nearby residents. It's one of several weekly markets Kaiser hosts on Bay Area hospital grounds.

Danville's certified market runs Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., organized by the Pacific Coast Farmers' Market Association, which operates more than a dozen certified markets across the East Bay. Every vendor is required to sell only what they personally grow or raise.

Fremont

Saturday morning market along Bonde Way in Fremont's Centerville district, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., organized by the Fremont Farmers Market Association. Stalls run a full city block with produce growers, cut flowers, baked goods, and prepared food. The vendor mix leans into the area's large Asian community — look for bok choy, Thai basil, and produce you won't find at a typical suburban stand.

Milpitas

Milpitas Farmers' Market sets up at the India Community Center on Los Coches Street, reflecting the South Bay city's large South Asian population. Shoppers find both familiar Santa Clara Valley produce and specialty items geared toward the surrounding community.

Castro Valley

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.

Alamo

Alamo is an unincorporated, affluent Contra Costa County community along Interstate 680. This certified market sets up in the Bank of America parking lot on Alamo Plaza, a small local stop for growers from the surrounding East Bay farmland rather than a large regional market.

San Jose

PCFMA runs the Alum Rock Village Farmers' Market every Sunday, 8 a.m. to noon, year-round at 23 North White Road in San Jose, on the grounds of James Lick High School. Stalls sell the same California-grown produce found across PCFMA's Bay Area markets — seasonal fruit, vegetables, and herbs from small farms — with CalFresh and Market Match accepted for shoppers stretching a grocery budget.

Saturday market at Hayward City Hall Plaza, 777 B St., 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., year-round, rain or shine. Run by Agricultural Institute of Marin organizers, it has grown past 35 regular vendors — nearly 60 during summer — over more than two decades, and sits one block from BART.

Union City

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.

Union City

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.

It's a weekly stop for hospital staff, patients, and neighborhood shoppers looking for fresh food close to home.

Set up outside the cafeteria at Kaiser Permanente's Walnut Creek Medical Center on South Main Street, this certified market runs every Tuesday, 10am to 2pm, year-round.

San Jose

A farmers market at North 14th Street and East Santa Clara Street in San Jose, on the east side of downtown in California's Santa Clara Valley.

Walnut Creek

This one comes with a catch most markets don't have: it's open only to Rossmoor residents and their families, run out of the Gateway parking lot near Golden Rain Road and Tice Valley Road every Friday, May through October, 9:30am to 1pm. Fifteen-plus local farmers sell produce and flowers alongside prepackaged and hot food. Non-residents get pointed to the Saturday Diablo Valley Farmers' Market in Walnut Creek instead.

Pittsburg

Old Town Pittsburg's certified market sets up on Railroad Avenue at East 6th Street, Saturdays from roughly 9am to 1pm, May through October. Shoppers find the usual seasonal produce mix plus cheese, honey, and eggs from Northern California growers, in a stretch of downtown that's walkable from the historic depot area. It's seasonal — it doesn't run through winter.

San Leandro

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.

Santa Clara

San Jose

Located on The Alameda at Hanchett Avenue in San Jose, near the Rose Garden district. Directory listings confirm the location but not a reliable current schedule — check the National Farmers Market Directory or the market's social pages before visiting.

San Jose

Concord

Concord runs two farmers markets a week under the Pacific Coast Farmers' Market Association: Tuesdays 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. and Thursdays 4 to 8 p.m., both in Todos Santos Plaza downtown. PCFMA is a longtime certified-market operator across the Bay Area, meaning every stall is required to sell only what the vendor actually grows or raises — no resellers.

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.

Pleasant Hill Farmers' Market sets up on Trelany Road in this Contra Costa County suburb east of Walnut Creek. Vendor list, market day, and hours aren't confirmed online.

Sunnyvale

The Sunnyvale Farmers Market runs Saturdays from 9 AM to 1 PM year-round, rain or shine, on historic Murphy Avenue at Washington in downtown Sunnyvale.

The Mountain View Farmers' Market hosts more than 80 farmers and vendors every Sunday from 9 AM to 1 PM at the Mountain View Caltrain Station on West Evelyn Avenue.

A nonprofit that operates more than a dozen certified farmers markets across the San Francisco Peninsula and South Bay, including Stanford, Foster City, Brisbane, Gilroy, and Carmel Valley. Locations run on different weekday and weekend schedules, connecting Northern California growers directly with shoppers, hospital campuses, and community centers.

Redwood City

The Kiwanis Club of Redwood City runs this certified market on Arguello Street, a civic-club-sponsored market rather than one operated by a farmers' market association. Redwood City sits on the San Francisco Peninsula, and the market draws growers from the coastal and valley farms within a short drive.

Oakland

Kaiser Permanente's Oakland Medical Center hosts a certified farmers market on its Broadway campus, running seasonally in spring through fall. Local growers bring fresh produce to the hospital grounds for patients, staff, and the surrounding Pill Hill neighborhood.
