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

Kaiser Permanente's Oakland Medical Center hosts a certified farmers market on its Broadway campus, running seasonally in spring through fall.

The Freedom Farmers' Market serves as a gathering place that is creating harmony while offering a variety of produce, fruits, and healthy foods grown by Black farmers and other underserved farmers.

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

Oakland

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.

Dow Village

Royal Food Hub appears in local food directories as a small organic provider based in Dow Village. Beyond that listing, no website, hours, or product details could be verified — worth a call before visiting if you're in the area.

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.

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. Confirm before visiting; the listing may be outdated or the market may have relocated.

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.

The market also takes WIC and Veggie Rx vouchers.

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.

San Francisco

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.

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.

San Francisco

Alemany opened in 1943 as California's first farmers market and still runs every Saturday, 7 a.m. to 2 p.m., at 100 Alemany Boulevard in Bernal Heights. Locals call it "the People's Market" for its low stall fees and mix of home cooks and restaurant buyers. 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.

San Francisco

Mission Food Hub formed in May 2020 to get culturally appropriate groceries to San Francisco's Latino families, and it still runs a grocery distribution every Friday at 701 Alabama Street.

San Francisco

San Francisco's only independent, farmer-run nonprofit market, operating since 1981. It spent decades at UN Plaza before relocating to Fulton Plaza in 2024, and still draws roughly 55 farmers on Wednesdays and Sundays, 7 a.m. to 4 p.m., year-round — one of the few markets in the city open every week, including holidays.

The Brisbane Community Farmers' Market has run every Thursday at Brisbane Community Park since it launched in April 2012, with hours shifting from 3 to 7 p.m. in summer to 2 to 6 p.m. once daylight shortens.

Vendors and prospective farmers can reach the market office directly by phone or email.

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.

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.

Pacific Coast Farmers' Market Association runs this market outside Kaiser Permanente's San Francisco campus at Geary Boulevard and St. Joseph's Avenue, every Wednesday from 10am to 2pm, year-round and rain or shine.

Live music and a balloon artist round it out for families.

Alongside the produce stands are several Bay Area creameries — Achadinha Cheese Company, Stepladder Creamery, Nicasio Valley Cheese, and Tomales Farmstead Creamery — plus bakers and flower vendors. It's one of the few San Francisco markets that stays open straight through the holidays, including the Sundays before Christmas and New Year's.

San Bruno

The FruitGuys has shipped fresh fruit boxes to offices nationwide out of San Bruno for more than 25 years, sourcing seasonal fruit and pairing it with wholesome snacks for workplace breaks.

San Francisco

This certified market sets up in a parking lot between 8th and 9th Avenue off Irving Street every Sunday, 9am to 1pm, year-round. It's smaller than the big Bay Area markets, but the mix runs deep: organic produce, pastured eggs and chickens, fresh fish, cheese, honey, pickles, and jam. The lot is reserved for the market during those hours, and organizers welcome neighbors who want to help with setup or cleanup.

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.

A steady, no-frills produce market rather than a festival-style event.
