Sunny Saturday: pick up your pastured eggs and craft ferments, then settle in on the splash pad with a Roli Roti and watch the Bicycle Coffee bros pack up and ride away. No frmrs mkt in SF competes.

Great for the whole family. Bounce houses for the kids, and very good produce and meat selections. Excellent location. If there is a knock against it: the food stalls are just okay save for Roli Roti

Best farmers market in the East Bay: Shoppers can browse fruits, vegetables, baked goods, meats and fish, flowers, and much more. Parking can be brutal but it’s so worth it. Read more

Parking is tough so get there early or walk over. Tons of organic produce to choose from. Lots of different food trucks and carts.

Best farmers market in the Bay Area, both in terms of selection of pesticide-free produce and entertainment.

If you're not an early riser, this place is very much alive until closing (unlike most farmers markets that are picked-over and dead by noon).

Straus organic milk straight from the Straus people. In glass bottles. So good. But they sell out by 12 or 1.

The kettle pop is so so today. Not crispy and fresh. They do have free samples but saw so many people bee line to it and get a handful and leave. Probably not good for business.

Try the smoked cheddar black bean tamale at Donna's Tamales. All organic and yummy

Avoid the Breakfast Burrito at Donna's Tamales - the vegetables feel mushy, can't really distinguish anything... Underwhelming :-/
