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!!

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!

The West Oakland Farmers Market is my Sunday go to! It's conveniently placed next to and organized…read moreby the Prescott Market's owner, Harvey. This Farmers Market is slightly tucked away from major roads which makes it a great location to walk to with your whole family. Despite only being 1 block long, you'll find all sorts of vendors here. From classic seasonal produce, Asian produce, apple cider, new product start ups, bakeries, florists, and even Diamond Dog Bakery (a bakery just for pets!). Whenever I'm here I always grab a coffee and some tamales to start. $5 per tamale and they're huge and have plenty of filling. For coffee, you could even wander into the Prescott Market, or you can visit one of the several coffee vendors. Everyone has great deals as well! A few weeks ago, there was a live jazz band which I adored. Today, they had a group playing music inside the Prescott Market patio instead. It still radiated throughout the whole block and brought the vibes up even more.

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!

The Tamiscal farmers market is bubbling over with food trucks, pastries, fresh fruits and veggies, even handmade soap. It's next to frog park, so a phenomenal place for kids to park and play. Families often sit along the creek and eat breakfast. It is frequently crowded, particularly in spring and summer months, so come early and bring a lot of bags. Cash only!!

Aside from the usual produce you'd expect - a plethora of fruits and vegetables - there is also meat, milk, cheese and flowers. I love getting something to eat and drink from one of several top-notch vendors and sitting near the creek to watch the children play while listening to music. My favorite place to go on a Sunday morning!

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.

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.

Sometime we will get imperfect produce out of convenience but nothing is ever going to beat local…read moreproduce! If you have time to ride a bike over here like we did for the first time you can make a morning slash brunch out of it! Lots of sweet and savory dishes ready to eat when you arrive! And ingredients you can buy for cooking later. Local vendors have stalls in the back parking lot and surround the ferry building that house more permanent shops. These inside shops were curated by the likes of Alice Waters (chez panisse chef in Berkeley) and are nothing short of beautiful. Be warned there are inflated prices for most things. But you can still find a deal when looking for produce with the farmers.

The Ferry Plaza Farmer's Market is a San Fransisco staple. Whether you're looking for a quick bite…read moreor some groceries for the week, this farmers market has a little bit of everything. The coffee, baked goods, fruit, and dessert selection is especially exceptional. The market itself is not dog friendly however, people still seem to bring their furry friends along. Honorable mentions: * Brown sugar latte from Painted Leopard (oatmilk) - incredibly creamy and sweet. Coffee taste was mild and well balanced. * Apricot kefir from Achadinha Cheese Company - Creamy, tangy, and pairs so well with fruit. * Thousand layer cake from NUSA - not a typically easy to find dessert. The layers are soft and delicious while not being too sweet. * Pain epi from Acme - the perfect vessel for cheeses and spreads. Light, crispy, and easy to pair with anything whether sweet or savory. This market is such a fun way to experience the local vendors in the area with your taste buds. Come early before 11/12 pm so its not too crowded.

Service was superb to the point ice was provided to keep hummus fresh till it arrived home. Offering (Greek): hummus, garlic spread, salad, olives, yogurt, grape leaves, pita bread/chips.. Licks: hummus was what I desired. Didn't want to accept whatever samples offered. Wanted to self-choose. -no sugar nor salt added. All flavas natural. 20+varietals. New flavas weekly. Not all "Greek". -seems all have base ingredients: chickpeas, spices, sesame tahini, olive oil, lemon juice, roasted garlic. Cactus Hummus (7) 8 oz. -...radish, Serrano (peppers), tomato, onions. -base taste in background with nuanced notes of tomato, onions and sharp hotness in foreground. Crunchiness of onions & radish felt. Artichoke & Spinach Hummus (7) 8oz. ...artichoke, spinach+ base. -greenish coloured. Flava earthy with subtle notes from artichoke, spinach. *doubt I will buy hummus again. Like any well known snacks/food. The base is the same. Flavas are variable. Other offerings are possible eats.. Didn't buy any pita chips cuz they are addictive. Eating too much messes with my yin yang-too much fried goodness. 4 stars for hummus, 5th star for service.

Specific vendors will overcharge if they feel like you'll pay it so stay sharp! Most accept cash, tap to pay, ebt, and Zelle. Some only take cash.

They didn't have any hot food vendors though, so I was a bit bummed by that. Parking is available on the street via meters.
