Farmers Markets in California

1st Saturday Super Market

Apple Valley, CA

True to its name, this market runs the first Saturday of each month at Civic Center Park on Dale Evans Parkway in Apple Valley, a High Desert town in San Bernardino County named for the actress who once ranched there. It's a monthly stop rather than a weekly one.

25th Avenue Farmers' Market

San Mateo, CA

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. It's one of more than thirty PCFMA markets across the Bay Area, stocked with growers from the Central Valley and coastal farms who sell direct rather than through distributors.

3rd Avenue Farmers' Market and Asian...

San Diego, CA

This downtown San Diego market runs at 3rd Avenue and J Street, its full name pointing to a mix of produce and Asian grocery vendors alongside the usual farm stands. It sits within walking distance of the Gaslamp Quarter and East Village, built for downtown residents rather than weekend day-trippers.

55 Fresh Farmers' Market

Pismo Beach, CA

Pismo Beach sits in San Luis Obispo County's Five Cities area, Central Coast ground known for strawberries and coastal produce. This market runs at 555 Five Cities Drive, a stop for growers from the surrounding coastal farms rather than the beach's tourist strip downtown.

7th District Certified Farmers' Market

San Diego, CA

This certified market runs on Waring Road in San Diego's Allied Gardens neighborhood, between Orcutt and Zion streets, its name referencing a San Diego City Council district rather than a grower or founder. It draws produce from farms across San Diego County to a residential part of the city well inland from the coast.

Adams/Vermont Farmers' Market

Los Angeles, CA

This certified market sets up in the parking lot of St. Agnes Church at Adams Boulevard and Vermont Avenue, in the West Adams neighborhood near USC. It's a longstanding stop for growers selling direct to a dense residential part of central Los Angeles rather than a market built around tourism.

Alameda Farmers' Market

Alameda, CA

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.

Alamo Certified Farmers' Market

Alamo, CA

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.

Alemany Farmers' Market

San Francisco, CA

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.

Alhambra Certified Farmers' Market

Alhambra, CA

The city of Alhambra runs its certified farmers market every Sunday from 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. at 100 South Second Street. Local growers set up stalls of fresh fruit, vegetables, honey, herbs, and baked goods, and the market takes EBT and WIC. It's run directly out of the city manager's office rather than a private operator, so vendor questions go straight to City Hall instead of a market association.

Alisal Farmers' Market

Salinas, CA

Everyone's Harvest, a Salinas nonprofit, runs the Alisal Certified Farmers' Market at 632 East Alisal Street on Tuesdays, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m., staying open year-round except for two weeks around the holidays. The market takes EBT, WIC, and Senior FMNP, and its Market Match program matches every EBT dollar spent on produce, up to $30 a visit. Free parking sits next to the market, and Salinas Transit routes 41 and 42 stop nearby.

Altadena Farmers Market

The Altadena Farmers' Market sets up every Friday, year-round, from 4 to 8 p.m. at 600 West Palm Street. It's run by a 501(c)(3) nonprofit that leaned harder into its mission after the January 2025 Eaton Fire, adding free produce distributions for fire survivors alongside its regular stalls of CSA boxes, farm eggs, artisan bread, and cheese. Instagram @altadenafm posts weekly vendor lineups and community updates.

Alum Rock Village Farmers' Market

San Jose, CA

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.

Amador Farmers' Market

Plymouth, CA

The Amador Farmers Market Association runs certified markets in both Plymouth and Sutter Creek from May through October, and the Plymouth stop sets up at Main Street Park. Vendors sell fresh produce, cut flowers, prepared foods, and handcrafted goods from Amador County growers and makers, with SNAP and WIC accepted at every stall. The Association's motto sums up the pitch: eat fresh, buy local, grow together.

American Canyon Farmers' Market

American Canyon, CA

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.

Anaheim Farmers' Market

Downtown Anaheim's certified farmers market sets up on the Center Street Promenade every Thursday from 11 a.m. to 3 p.m. The Downtown Anaheim Association runs it alongside neighboring anchors like Anaheim Ice and the MUZEO museum, making it part of a walkable strip of shops and restaurants rather than a stand-alone parking-lot market. Vendor applications go through the Association's office, open weekdays 9 a.m. to 5 p.m.

Anaheim Kaiser Permanente Farmers' Market

Anaheim, CA

The Kaiser Permanente farmers market at the Anaheim Medical Center runs every Friday, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at 3440 East La Palma Avenue. It's a Southland Farmers' Market Association market, managed on-site by Gina and Chit Bauzon, geared toward hospital staff, patients, and neighbors picking up fresh produce on their way in or out of appointments.

Anderson Thursday Market

Anderson, CA

The Shasta Growers Association runs its Anderson stop on Thursdays, 8 a.m. to noon, near the outlets along Highway 273 — the same grower-run nonprofit behind farmers markets in Redding and Burney. Like its sister markets, Anderson accepts EBT for shoppers using food assistance. For vendor or schedule questions, the association can be reached directly.

Angels Camp ""Fresh Fridays"" Certified Farmers Market

Angels Camp's Fresh Fridays market takes over Utica Park on Friday evenings from June through September, mixing farm stands with live music and a kids' play area. Vendors sell fresh regional produce, artisan foods, and crafts in the middle of Gold Country's old mining town core. For vendor, sponsor, or music bookings, reach the market directly.

Antelope Valley Winery Farmer's Market

Antelope Valley Winery hosts its own farmers market in the parking area at 42041 20th Street West in Lancaster, running Saturdays 9 a.m. to noon from May through November, then shrinking to one Saturday a month, noon to 3 p.m., through the winter. Vendors go beyond produce — local honey, peaches, microgreens, artisan bread, tamales, and handmade soap all show up alongside the wine tasting room.

Aptos Farmers' Market

Aptos, CA

Nearly 90 vendors set up every Saturday, 8 a.m. to noon, year-round in the Cabrillo College parking lot at 6500 Soquel Drive — a market that was voted America's favorite farmers market in California three years running and got a nod from Coastal Living. Beyond produce, stalls cover eggs, cheese, seafood, olive oil, mushrooms, and fermented foods, plus a knife and garden-tool sharpening stand.

Aptos Farmers Market at Cabrillo College

Aptos, CA

The Aptos Farmers Market at Cabrillo College, run by Monterey Bay Certified Farmers Markets, is held every Saturday from 8 AM to noon at 6500 Soquel Drive in Aptos, celebrating over 50 years of farmers markets in the region with plentiful free parking and easy access.

Arbuckle Certified Farmers' Market

Arbuckle, CA

Arbuckle's certified farmers market sets up at LaVanche Hursh Community Park on 5th Street, serving this small Colusa County farm town along Highway 99. No official market website or social page turned up in research — it's the kind of small, seasonal market that runs on word of mouth and the county's certified-market listing rather than online promotion.

Arcata Plaza Farmers' Market

Arcata, CA

The Arcata Plaza Farmers' Market runs Saturdays year-round on the plaza in Arcata, California — 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. April through Thanksgiving, 10 to 2 in winter — the flagship of the North Coast Growers' Association's certified markets across Humboldt County. The nonprofit also runs the multi-farm Harvest Box CSA, wholesale Harvest Hub, and food access programs including CalFresh EBT and Market Match.

Arden-Arcade Certified Farmers' Market

Sacramento, CA

The Arden-Arcade Certified Farmers’ Market (sometimes known as the Country Club Plaza Farmers’ Market) is one of the longest-running certified farmers’ markets in California and continues to provide customers with affordable, delicious, groceries from local producers!

Arroyo Grande City Hall Farmers' Market

Arroyo Grande's Saturday market sets up in Olohan Alley near the Swinging Bridge in the historic Village district, footsteps from City Hall on East Branch Street, running noon to 2:30 p.m. Vendors mix fresh produce with artisan goods and work from local artists, and the creekside setting pulls in visitors already browsing the Village's boutiques and restaurants rather than a typical parking-lot crowd.

Arroyo Grande Farmers' Market

Arroyo Grande, CA

About 35 growers set up Wednesday mornings, 8:30 to 11 a.m., in the Smart & Final parking lot at 1464 East Grand Avenue — the earlier, more practical counterpart to Arroyo Grande's Saturday Village market. Summer tables lean into sweet corn, vine-ripened tomatoes, stone fruit, and berries, alongside everyday vegetables, fish, and cut flowers, drawing shoppers who want groceries done before the day heats up.

Arts District Farmers' Market

Los Angeles, CA

Heritage's Arts District Certified Farmers' Market runs Saturdays year-round, 9 a.m. to 2 p.m., at 905 East 2nd Street in the Garey Building — deep in the gallery-and-loft blocks of Downtown LA's Arts District. It's one of several markets the Heritage nonprofit runs across the county, bringing certified growers into a neighborhood better known for warehouses turned studios than produce stands.

Associated Students Farmers' Market

San Francisco, CA

San Francisco State's Associated Students runs a campus farmers market every Thursday, 10 a.m. to 3 p.m., stocked with fresh and organic produce aimed at students trying to eat well on a budget. The market takes EBT, and campus parking runs $10 for shoppers driving in rather than walking from the dorms. Questions go to the Associated Students office by email.

Avila Beach Farmers' Market

Avila Beach, CA

Avila Beach's summer market runs Friday evenings, 4 to 8 p.m., along the Avila Promenade from May through August, mixing farm stands with artisan food vendors, crafts, and live music against the boardwalk backdrop. A free trolley shuttles visitors in during market hours so parking near the beach isn't a fight, and riders get a market buck to spend once they're there.

Backyard Basics & Farmers Market

Backyard Basics operates as a small farm market and stand at 35265 Willow Avenue in Clarksburg, in the Sacramento River Delta region known for its pumpkin patches, u-pick produce, and delta pear and grape growers. Beyond the address, little independent detail on hours or current vendors turned up online — worth a call ahead before making the drive out from Sacramento or Davis.

Bakersfield Farmers' Market

Bakersfield, CA

Bakersfield's F Street Farmers Market is the city's longest-running certified market, held every Saturday from 7:45 a.m. to noon along F Street. Every vendor has to grow or make what they're selling — no resellers — so tables run heavy on farm eggs, pasture-raised meat and poultry, organic produce, and artisan baked goods rather than imported produce. Check their Facebook page for weekly vendor updates.

Baldwin La Brea Certified Farmers' Market

Los Angeles, CA

This certified farmers market sets up along Rodeo Road near La Brea Avenue in the Baldwin Hills / Crenshaw area of Los Angeles. Independent details on hours, current vendors, or a market operator didn't turn up in research beyond directory listings — a sign it may be smaller, seasonal, or between operators. Confirm before visiting.

Baldwin Lake Vegetable Market

Baldwin Lake Vegetable Market sits on Lucky Baldwin Ranch Road in Big Bear City, near the seasonal lake and meadow the area is named for — one of the higher, colder growing spots in the San Bernardino Mountains. Beyond the address, no independent details on hours or current vendors turned up in research; call ahead before making the mountain drive.

Bank of America Famers' Market

Los Angeles, CA

What used to be called the Bank of America Farmers' Market is now Bunker Hill Farmers Market, still set up in the courtyard at 333 South Hope Street every Tuesday, 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. California Certified Farmers Markets (CCFM) runs it as part of a network that's been operating for 25 years, drawing the downtown office lunch crowd rather than weekend shoppers.

Barrio Food Hub

San Diego, CA

A food hub listing in San Diego, California, active on Instagram under the handle @barriofoodhub. No further verified details on growers, products, or hours turned up in current research.

Bass Lake Farmers' Market

Bass Lake, CA

Bass Lake's farmers market sets up at Pines Village on Road 432, part of the small resort strip anchoring this Sierra reservoir near Yosemite's south entrance. Detailed hours and current vendor information weren't available in independent research beyond the market's listing — a seasonal, resort-town market worth calling Pines Village ahead to confirm before the drive up.

Bay Street Farmers' Market

Emeryville, CA

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.

Belmont Farmers' Market

Belmont, CA

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. Like the association's other Peninsula markets, stalls sell California-grown produce and accept CalFresh and WIC, with Market Match stretching food-assistance dollars further on fresh fruit and vegetables. Shoppers can check pcfma.org for the current week's vendor roster before heading over.

Benicia Certified Farmers Market

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.

Big Bear Farmers' Market

Big Bear City, CA

Big Bear's Tuesday market runs 8:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., April through September, at the Big Bear Lake Convention Center on Big Bear Boulevard — the more traditional half of the town's two weekly markets, focused on fresh produce, bread, and local goods rather than the Friday evening market's food-truck-and-live-music scene at Meadows Park. Parking is easier here too, and dogs on leash are welcome.

Bishop Farmers' Market

Bishop, CA

Bishop's certified farmers market — part of the Eastern Sierra Certified Farmers Market circuit — sets up behind City Hall on Church Street. Current hours and vendor details weren't confirmed in independent research; Inyo County's short growing season and Highway 395 location make it a smaller seasonal stop rather than a year-round fixture. Best to call the city or check locally before visiting.

Bonsall Certified Farmer's Market and Open Air Fair

The Bonsall Certified Farmer's Market and Open Air Fair sets up every Sunday from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at Bonsall Elementary School. The Bonsall Education Foundation runs it as a fundraiser for the Bonsall Union School District, so vendor fees circle back to local classrooms. Stalls carry fresh vegetables, fruit, seafood, meat, nuts, honey, cheese, cut flowers, herbs, plants, and soap, alongside baked goods, prepared foods, and handmade crafts.

Boonville Farmers' Market

Boonville, CA

Boonville Farmers' Market runs Saturday mornings from May through October in the Boonville Hotel parking lot on Highway 128, deep in Mendocino County wine country. Anderson Valley growers and craftspeople sell fruit, vegetables, cheese, bread, olive oil, plant starts, and skin care products, with live music most weeks. It's a small-town market, heavy on what Anderson Valley actually grows.

Brea Certified Farmers' Market

This certified farmers' market operates under California's direct-marketing program for growers, meaning everything on the tables was grown or made by the vendor selling it, not resold from a distributor. Beyond that, public listings for its current Brea schedule are thin; the certification paperwork on file traces to an administrative address in Los Angeles rather than a Brea storefront, so hours and exact location are best confirmed with the City of Brea.

Brea Farmers' Market

Brea, CA

Brea Farmers' Market sets up Thursdays from 4 to 8 p.m. year-round at 145 S. State College Blvd., sponsored by the Orange County Farm Bureau. Vendors bring fresh fruit and vegetables, nuts, honey, spices, baked goods, and handmade soap. Because the Farm Bureau runs it, the growers here are vetted by the same organization that represents actual Orange County agriculture.

Brimhall Farmers' Market

Bakersfield, CA

Brimhall Farmers' Market runs spring through fall at 9500 Brimhall Road in northwest Bakersfield. Tables hold fresh, locally grown produce alongside baked goods, cut flowers, and artisan goods from Kern County vendors. It's a neighborhood-scale market rather than a downtown destination, smaller footprint, easier parking, regulars who know the vendors by name.

Brisbane Community Farmers' Market

Brisbane, CA

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.

Brownsville Farmers Market

Brownsville Farmers Market sets up Friday afternoons from 4 p.m. until dusk, May through October, at 16900 Willow Glen Road in the Sierra foothills of Yuba County. Every vendor sells only what they grew or made themselves, no resale, no middlemen, which means the sourdough, mushrooms, tallow products, and produce on the tables came from someone's own land. The market accepts CalFresh/EBT.

Buena Park Farmers' Market

Buena Park, CA

Buena Park Farmers' Market runs Saturdays from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. in the parking lot at La Palma and Stanton avenues, near the old Sears at Buena Park Downtown Mall.

Burlingame Fresh Market

Burlingame, CA

Burlingame Fresh Market opens every Sunday from May through December, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., along Park Road at Burlingame Avenue. The Burlingame Chamber of Commerce runs it, and beyond produce and flowers the food stalls lean international, Chinese, Japanese, Mexican, and American vendors sit side by side. Live music and a balloon artist round it out for families.

Palo Alto, CA

The California Avenue Farmers' Market in Palo Alto runs Sundays from 9 AM to 1 PM year-round, rain or shine, on California Avenue at El Camino.

Canyon Lake, CA

Canyon Lake Certified Farmers' Market has run every Sunday for more than 17 years at Canyon Lake Towne Center, 9 a.m. to 1:30 p.m., rain or shine. It's a certified market, meaning the growers selling produce actually grew it themselves rather than reselling from a wholesaler. Vendors also bring fresh groceries, prepared goods, and specialty items like mushrooms.

Capitol Mall Farmers' Market

Sacramento, CA

Capitol Mall Farmers' Market runs Wednesdays, 8:30 a.m. to 2 p.m., from spring through October along Capitol Mall in downtown Sacramento. Organizers bill it as downtown's largest certified farmers market, and the lineup backs that up, rows of seasonal produce from Central Valley growers plus hot food vendors and baked goods for the office lunch crowd.

Carlsbad Village Farmers' Market

Carlsbad Village Farmers' Market runs twice a week year-round, Wednesdays 1 to 5 p.m. and Saturdays 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., in the public lot on Roosevelt Street.

Carmel Certified Farmers' Market

Carmel, CA

Monterey Bay Certified Farmers Markets organizes it and rotates in a free booth for a local nonprofit each week. Vendors bring fresh produce, nuts, flowers, live plants, and baked goods.

Carmel Valley Certified Farmers Market

Carmel Valley Certified Farmers Market, the San Diego neighborhood, not the Central Coast town, takes over the Canyon Crest Academy parking lot every Thursday from 2:30 to 7 p.m., rain or shine. Beyond the produce tables, flowers, sauces, local goat cheese, handcrafted chocolate, organic pastries, and specialty coffee round out a lineup that leans more food-hall than typical produce stand.

Carson Farmers' Market

Carson, CA

Carson Farmers' Market operates Thursdays, 9 a.m. to 3 p.m., in the parking lot at South Bay Pavilion on Avalon Boulevard. It's a single-day, one-stop market, seasonal fruit and vegetables, baked goods, and handmade crafts from local growers and makers, without the multi-day sprawl of bigger LA County markets.

Castro Valley Farmers' Market

Castro Valley, CA

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.

Cayucos Farmers' Market

Cayucos, CA

Cayucos Farmers' Market runs Friday mornings, 10 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., from Memorial Day through Labor Day, on the empty lot beside the Old Cayucos Tavern at the corner of D and Ocean.

CCC Martinez Farmers' Market

Martinez, CA

The Martinez farmers' market sets up Sundays, 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., at 2500 Alhambra Avenue under the Contra Costa Certified Farmers Market program. Tables carry fresh produce, meat, and dairy from local farms alongside goods from area artisans. It draws a loyal following, the market's Facebook page has grown to nearly 4,700 followers.

Cedros Avenue Farmers' Market

Solana Beach, CA

Cedros Avenue Farmers' Market opens every Sunday from noon to 4 p.m., skipping only Easter, July Fourth, and Christmas. San Diego Magazine has rated it among the region's best, and the lineup explains why, organic vegetables and cut flowers sit next to artisan smoked salmon, hearth-baked bread, hand-crafted chocolate, and fresh juice blends in the Cedros Design District.

Central Park Farmers Market

Central Park Farmers Market sets up at 19th and Q streets in downtown Bakersfield, a few blocks from the Kern County courthouse. Vendors sell local produce, baked goods, and crafts; exact market days have shifted over the years, so it's worth a call ahead to confirm the current schedule.

Century City Farmers' Market

Century City, CA

Century City Farmers' Market sets up at 1800 Avenue of the Stars, with parking available at the Century City mall and a pedestrian bridge over to the stalls. Along with the produce tables, the food vendors lean international, empanadas, Greek food, barbecue, and soup are regular fixtures. As a certified market it's food-safety regulated, so pets aren't allowed inside.

Ceres Farmers' Market

Ceres, CA

Ceres Farmers' Market sets up at Ceres-Whitmore Park, on 3rd and North streets in this Stanislaus County city. Vendors bring vegetables, fruit, local specialty foods, and crafts. Some listings put the season at June and July on Tuesday evenings, though that schedule may have changed, call ahead to confirm before visiting.

Cesar Chavez Plaza Farmers' Market

Sacramento, CA

Cesar Chavez Plaza Farmers' Market runs Thursdays through the summer season in downtown Sacramento, a few blocks from the Capitol. Growers bring farm-fresh produce direct from regional farms, and the lineup includes freshly baked bread and locally made gifts alongside the standard produce tables.

Channel Islands Harbor Farmers' Market

Oxnard, CA

Cloverdale Certified Farmers' Market

Cloverdale, CA

Since 2022 it's been managed by the Santa Rosa Original Certified Farmers Market association, which has run certified markets in Sonoma County since 1967.

Coalinga Farmer's Market (CHRPD)

Coalinga's weekly market sets up at Keck Park every Wednesday starting at 5:30 p.m., run by the Coalinga Huron Recreation and Park District.

Corning Farmers' Market

Coronado-Loews Bay Resort Farmers' Market
