So many vendors! Lots of great food, music and parking in the area…read more I love this farmers market. Missing today was "Here and there", a yummy sandwich truck with adorable guys. I did find a delicious crispy pork skin sandwich that I love at another booth. The vibe is great. When in Oakland, check it out!

This is a large farmers market. It has its good points and some bad…read more First the parking is limited. They have a small parking lot and street parking which is not nearby. The market has an even mix of fresh produce and prepared food. I picked up some large yellow peaches. The actual layout is not set-up well. Some rows are wide ,some are spaced to close making it hard to get through. It was a nice atmosphere, music playing, familys walking around. People sitting around eating.

One of my favorites in the Bay, and I've been to several. Held in the DMV parking lot this is one…read moreof the easier farmers markets to navigate and to find parking around. With a couple food trucks in addition to vendors, I've found this to have the most hot food dining options for those who go to the market to do more than shop. This market also has pretty much anything you'd need for a meal. One note, it is so popular that I've seen a tent and a food truck sell out before they close for the day so you may want to go early. There are a few benches that provide good seating, which can allow for taking this market at a bit of a slower pace than you might others. Only note, it can get extremely congested, as I feel this is one of the most popular markets in the Bay, if you want something more sprawling I'd suggest Old Oakland, but otherwise no complaints. Temescal is soundly in my faves!

I was able to get kale at $1/bunch. The red amaranth and the fuzzy melon was by the pound. The bok choy and yi choy was $2 each. Fruit was $3.50/pound. Street parking only. I tend to go between 8:00 and 9:00 am for better parking and more inventory. There's also fresh fish and stalls with donuts and cooked foods. There's also market it 2 blocks x 2 blocks. Support this wonderful market!!

Old Oakland Farmer's Market, Oakland…read more This famer's market seems small but there are plenty of vendors here. They often have fresh caught fishes, fresh produce, fresh flowers, fresh local honey and this place has naturally made ingredients cream and lotion for your face and body. One thing I love the most about this farmer's market is that there is always a live band or live music! Parking is street parking in Chinatown which is tough. You can come locally by bus or get off the BART on 12th Street City Center and walk towards Jack London. Some vendors take credit cards but cash is gold here! I love coming back on sunny days and always look forward every Friday mornings!!

If you are a vendor trying to sell at a farmers market, do not apply with this farmers market…read more I submitted an application to sell with this farmers market, and they had my credit card on file (to pay an application fee). A few days after applying, I got an automated email saying my application was approved and was immediately charged $235 (annual membership fee and a stall fee) before I could say anything. They charged me this without saying anything or asking me for legal paperwork, certificates, or a product sample. I followed up over several phone calls and emails asking for clarification on what they require to actually be a seller. I never received a reply (even to this day). They just took my money and said nothing. Luckily I was able to dispute the charge and get my money back. For a farmers market that claims to care about "social impact," this behavior was unacceptable. My advice to any vendors would be to find farmers markets that are not quick to take your money and will actually communicate normally.

The Jack London Square farmers market is available every Sunday from 11am - 4pm. It's located on…read moreWater St next to Plank. Look for an area with a row of tents. This farmers market was small. There were probably less than 10 vendors when I got here at 2pm. I'm not sure if I went on a slow day or if there were other vendors that had already sold out and left. If you were looking for some fresh fruits and vegetables, the options here were very limited. One vendor was selling only strawberries and another was selling nuts and citrus fruits. Other vendors that I saw sold honey and hummus. There were people walking around Jack London Square but they didn't seem interested in the farmers market. I felt bad for the vendors because the ones left looked like they still had a lot left to sell. I thought the vendors that were selling cooked food were doing much better since Plank was right next door and was packed with people watching the NFL playoffs. I would say the positives about coming here were the waterfront views. The other thing that caught my eye was how clean the floor was like there was no trash or squashed fruit on the ground that you had to avoid. This was not a farmers market I would want to go back to. It might be worth checking out if you were already in the area. You were better off saving your gas and time by going to the Old Oakland farmers market that opens every Friday on 9th street near Chinatown.

Other options are the shawarma salad or rice plate, Filipino food (chicken adobo, pancit, lumpia, and Turon.) Once noon hits, the lines are pretty long! Afterwards, purchase some fresh sweet strawberries, peaches, veggies, pastries or whatever tickles your fancy. There is also a shrimp and fish taco tent, Indian food, bolanis and dips, sometimes nuts. I love going here on Wednesdays!

West Oakland Farmers Market is open every Sunday 10am-2pm…read more It is right next to the Prescott Market. They have a nice variety of produce, hot food, flowers and beverages. We purchased strawberries, blueberries and apples. We came towards the end of the market and the bakery vendor was selling their baked goods two for the price of one! This is a sweet market and I look forward to stopping by the next time in the area on a Sunday morning!

Currently my favorite spot to shop outside of actually going to a farmer's market…read more Reasonable prices - similar to farmer's market and less than the Marketplace. They also seem to have more turnover than the Marketplace, so it's fresher. Their organic Granny Smiths are some of the best I have had - crisp, slightly sour and super juicy. They also carry a variety of microgreens. Interesting small producers in the pantry section. The service is always friendly and efficient. Request: carry maitakes! Then I don't need to make multiple stops around the island. Easy to park around the Central/Oak area. I neglected you for a few a years but I am back!

Overview: small farmers' market, cute vibe, a decent variety of vendors…read more ---- This is a pretty small farmers' market compared to the ones I'm used to in San Diego, but they had a semi-wide selection of vendors from fresh fruit and veg, to tamales, to hummus and baked good. They also had some craft vendors like ceramic artists, and info booths. There was also live music playing which was pretty neat! Parking was slim but we were lucky to find a spot a few blocks away and walk over easily. For how small this market is, it was quite busy around 11:30am ish! The market opens from 9am-1pm and is open on Tuesdays and Saturdays with slightly different vendors during for each day. I really liked the hummus, thought the tamales were okay (I got the cheeseburger tamales), and would love to try out some baked food the next time I'm here (the line was quite long but it looked delicious!) ---- Overall: for our small town of Alameda, it was cute place to walk around, I wish it was a little bigger (since I'm used to the ones that span for multiple blocks in sd) but they still had a selection of vendors to shop from.

We walked in the parking lot where there's many tents up and selling things. We walked around for a little bit, then realized we weren't even in the flea market yet? The entrance is where you pay. So we were walking around outside of the flea market? Idk it was confusing but once we got inside, we were able to look at better quality items? I guess? Lol it was kinda hilarious, Anyways, we had watermelon and pineapple drinks, bro it was SO DELICIOUS! 5$ for a regular size then large was like 7$ or something? My daughter got some squishes and keyboard thing that lights up.

ilove the laney college flea market but they should call it the laney college stolen bicycle…read moreexchange. Everytime i go there i see or hear someone fighting with a vendor claiming their stolen bikes back. Theres alot of that going on there, and i will say that more than once ive seen the rightful owner of a bike actually get his or her bike back! People are a trip! Sometimes they get their bike back untouched, sometimes alot of the parts had been swapped with a different bike (im guessing to try to disguise the bike from its owner), and they argue, threaten, intimidate and even literally go to blows over these bikes. Its like the cantina in star wars, bunch of freaks over there. It is very entertaining the same way that watching "cops" on tv is entertaining. Check it out! Wear latex gloves and be ready for anything.
