I love how the grapes are layed out on the table. We get pastries from Star Bakery, and tea is great at Chafolio. We also like the dumplings at the dumpling stall. The market is also pretty clean, with plenty of walking space. Not overaly crowded (atlest as we have seen) compared to some I have been to. There are plenty other stalls here, please check it out if you are in the area.

We were in town early,so we decided to try the local farmers market…read more It's street parking only. Not knowing the area,we had to park a few blocks away. There was a nice variety of food, vegetables, meats,and other local makers. I think that the weather had a affect on the vibe of the market. It was really quiet and subdued. It was also only 50 degrees out. Most of the vendors were bundled up trying to stay warm. So not a lot of communication or interaction. I don't blame them as it was pretty cold. A nice surprise was Starter Bakery. One of my favorite East Bay bakerys. Ended up getting croissants,and kougam. Will have to come back again when it warmer

This was actually my FIRST time at Pleasanton's farmers market. When I tell you, I'll be back every…read moreweekend! I came around 1220 (they close at 1) and fully regret that. Next time I'll be there when they open. There were still a good amount of vendors and music out at that time. But a lot of them were closing up and had all the samples gone. I got the juiciest Cara Cara oranges, fresh flowers, and a crotchet kit for my daughter from Saltwater Books & Gifts. The walking space is a little narrow and it was annoying (on my part) to drag my wagon through the aisle. So if you plan on bringing that, or a stroller, just be prepared. I truly can't wait to go back.

Would totally be a regular if I lived in the area.

Some thing to know before you buy these delicious flatbreads: 1) These are not your chewy wrap style flatbreads. So if that's what you expect, you may be disappointed (but I am not at all!) 2) You MUST heat them in a hot oven or toaster oven!!! If not, they'll be too soft and seem soggy! I go 12 minutes at 450F, and flip half way thru. If you reheat them the right way, you get a super flaky crust! You should be able cut it into quarters and hold each piece up nice and firm where it doesn't bend or fall apart. I think people may end up heating them the wrong way and then being disappointed with a mushy flatbread. These take patience! The vendors are always super nice and willing to let you try whatever you like. Check em out!

I have never tried their other products before, but im sure they are just as delicious.

It will be 5/5 stars if there was added salt on top of the bread after baking, but I touch of salt after baking and its perfect. Its always nice seeing them here at both locations on the weekends! Hope you sell to other chain stores soon!

In my opinion, Newark Farmers' Market (at Newpark Mall) slightly triumphs Irvington Farmers' Market…read moredue to: - number of vendors - variety of vendors - larger food selection This market presumably "stops" at 2pm with discounts presumably starting at 1250pm (or sooner). I feel the service is fairly standard across the board (of what you would expect at farmer markets and festivals). But is largely more dependent on EBT and cash. You can park at the post office, there's a small lot at the bay fair, street parking, and some folks park at the huge plaza...

Honestly it's a bare minimum type deal but covers its bases, to be honest I'm not sure if they rotate vendors , probably will figure this out when I try and stop by next year. Anyways, the stalls are the farmer's market info, 1 bakery, 1 berry mainly strawberries that I saw this year, a Mediterranean/filipino food stall, a hummus stall and a vegetable stall. Next time or eventually I might get some fruit or veggies if it catches my eye and the prices seem to be decent overall but since there's no competition, I'll admit to think their prices can be a tad high here or there. As for the shawarma and filipino stall, the prices for their meals was pretty good when compared to other food stalls in general. The girls at the stall were very friendly and the food itself was very good overall. The bread stall was pretty good too, I did enjoy their loaf of jalapeño cheese loaf a lot, forgot to mention they sliced it for me and most of their baked goods looked very appetizing and delicious albeit alittle expensive. Overall, being a tad off the beaten path and in a somewhat busy hospital parking lot/main entrance, the open air market is a very nice place to stop by on a Tuesday morning and to walk around and stretch your legs if you want to do something that's a tad different.

I have a certain love for farms, and whenever the opportunity comes along to visit a local farm I…read moretry my best to take on that opportunity. I had the honor of visiting with Kristyn Leach and the Namu Gaji Farm several months ago. In case you're wondering about the name the Namu Gaji Farm provides fresh organic vegetables exclusively to the San Francisco restaurant Namu Gaji, but there's more to this story than that. Kristyn Leach is a native South Korean who as in infant was adopted by an Irish American family in New York. She was introduced to farming when she got involved in an urban community garden while attending college. Her interest grew and upon relocating to Washington state she began planting her own perilla. Perilla more commonly known as Japanese shiso is an essential herb in Korean cooking. When Kristyn moved to California she took on the task of managing a lettuce farm where she continued to grow her own perilla. She found work as a cook at Oakland's Camino Restaurant, and it was there where the chef introduced her to the Lee brothers of Namu Gaji. One of the brothers, David, was actively seeking a supplier of organic Korean perilla for their restaurant. Kristyn told us she had never met anyone who was so passionate about the herb. Their collaboration began there as Kristyn agreed to farm Asian vegetables for the Lee brothers. The Sunol AgPark located in Alameda County is a collaborative farm community owned by the San Francisco Public Utilities Commission managed by a third party (SAGE) and shared by several farms who lease the land on an annual basis. It was there where Kristyn found an acre of available farmland to start the Namu Gaji Farm. Through her own studies she learned of traditional techniques of Korean peasant farming as well as New Age holistic farming. She combines ancient techniques as well as new ones on her farm. Unlike other farms she welcomes wildlife creating a natural habitat for birds and fosters specific insects and micro-organisms to provide nutrients in her soil. Bad insects are warded off by natural means as well. Sustainability is key on the Namu Gaji Farm. Kristyn does not till her soil and does all of her farming by hand. Her soil contains twice the organic matter as required by organic standards. She has even concocted her own fertilizer using kelp. Her annual water use is 50,000 gallons which is half of what the other farms on the Sunol AgPark use (between 100,000 to 140,000 according to a SAGE representative on our tour). Upon taking a walk through her farm everything just looked wild unlike any farm I've toured before. Because it was pouring rain on the day of our visit I kept the photo-taking to a minimum. On the farm she grows two types of peppers for Namu Gaji in addition to Korean melons, Kabocha squash, several types of radishes, burdock, Napa cabbage for kimchi and Korean soybeans. Today she grows more vegetables than the restaurant can use so she has created a CSA specifically for domestic abuse victims through the organization KACEDA (Korean American Coalition to End Domestic Abuse). She harvests her crops 3 times a week (twice for Namu Gaji and once for the CSA). At the conclusion of our tour we were treated to a delicious lunch (http://bit.ly/2bf2mVZ) cooked by Namu Gaji and incorporating perilla, soybeans, cabbage, daikon and leafy greens all grown on the farm. Interested individuals were also offered seedlings to start their own vegetable gardens.

But what it lacks in space or having a seemingly small area, it makes up for in density. Walking through once I got in, I was pleasantly surprised with just how much beautiful produce was everywhere. There's also a section for prepared foods and products. There's also some live music. This place is a truly fun place to visit. I was here with fam and we were picking up ingredients to use all in the dinner that evening. We ended up getting lamb chops, eggplant for baba ganoush, some potatoes, and some ingredients for a light salad. Luckily, I had family to help because I'm not the best at being able to cook and use all the ingredients that I pick up from the market that day and the dinner was really delicious. I also picked up some tamales, which were really amazing when I had them for next week (I froze them). For an early day snack we also picked up some food from the yakitori stand, which is run by a chef who actually has a restaurant at the city center. All in all, just really good selection, delicious food, great vendors, and just a general great time with great vibes
