I love this farmer's market! I'm glad it's such a short drive from my place. The vendors are so…read morewonderful and friendly, and there's plenty of parking. It's a bit smaller than some other markets I've visited, but they have everything you need here. Some of my favorite vendors include: Orange Elaichi: This is my go-to spot when I'm at the market. The owner, Janki, is so kind and always remembers me, which I really appreciate. Every vegan option they have is delicious, but my favorites are the Tadka Focaccia, Rose Pistachio and Saffron Orange bundt cakes, and Orange Cranberry Muffins. Hernandez Nursery: They always have the most beautiful plants at great prices. I've bought so many plants from them, and their son has even helped me load them into my car. I highly recommend stopping by their booth. Brother's products S.F. has the best hummus. I always make sure to stop by for the Habanero Hummus, but I've been trying more flavors lately. Their garlic sauces and olive tapenade are also really good. Although I can't eat the flavored labneh, my mom has tried it and loves it. Dumpling King: I love that they have vegan dim sum options clearly labeled. My favorite items are the Green Veggie Bun. I also like the Vegan Siu Mai and Scallion Pancake. I love the organic raspberries at Gomez Berry Farm and organic strawberries at Gonzalez Farm. I tried the tea at Chafolio today because the young man working the booth was super kind. I ended up buying rose hibiscus, and I'm excited to brew it. I can't remember the name of the vendor with the musubi and smoothies, but their Tofu Musubi is so delish, the tofu is very flavorful, and the rice is the perfect texture. Plus, the fruit smoothies are all fruit, so there's no need to worry about dairy or fillers. I'm sure I'm missing someone, but overall, there are so many wonderful produce options and other great vendors. I highly recommend spending part of your Sunday here!

By far my favorite farmers market, I have tried the ones in Campbell, Sunnyvale and Saratoga and…read morehighly prefer this one due to the extensive Asian produce choice available. Prices are reasonable compared to other cities as well. In warmer days, this is my Sunday morning haunting ground! I buy fresh organic strawberries here, they are sweeter compared to the ones from the grocery stores and uber fresh. I also make it a point to get red sorrel when in season. Called "gongura" in my native language, we use it for everything from lentils to meat based dishes and even biryani. My other favorite is drumstick leaves, it's known for its medicinal properties and makes lentil based dishes more delicious.

Prices are fair and the convenience of getting fresh and delicious goodies when you're at the hospital are priceless. There's a newer food stand (Papa's Dumpling) which took over spot of the popular Thai Food stand. The vendors are very friendly and pleasant especially at the strawberry tent where they're always giving free samples of their sweet ripe fruit. Since the market is located in the courtyard there are lots of places to sit and enjoy the goodies or just relax.

I really love going to the Santa Clara Farmers Market as it's the closest one to my house and…read morehonestly it's become my little Saturday ritual. It runs from 9 AM to 1 PM and I make sure I'm there almost every week. First stop is always the Beckmann's stall. Their chocolate chip cookies are my favorite especially the double chocolate one. I also love their breads the cheddar jalapeno, seeded sourdough (all time favorite) and sun-dried tomato focaccia and roasted bell pepper ones are amazing too! There's a kombucha stall and the guava flavor is my go-to. And there's this older man who sells honey including actual honeycomb and it tastes so fresh and real. He is really sweet and hardworking and I always end up getting some honey. There's always pleasant live music playing and the whole vibe is just happy. Also, there's a stall that only has apples of all kinds and they have fresh apple juice and that's so refreshing! There's an Indian food stall that I still haven't tried yet. And there's a bakery with lots of croissants and pastries, they're good but I don't usually get them because they're cold and when I reheat them at home they get soft. I do like their cheesecake though. Last time I picked up some handmade soaps from one of the stalls, eucalyptus poppy and lemongrass ones. The smell really lingers in the best way. I also got a body butter and it's nice. There's an Asian guy who sells vegetables and I always buy sweet potatoes from him. They're smaller than the ones at regular stores but they're incredibly sweet! I get like a kilo every single time. And there's a big fruit stall where I try whatever seasonal fruits they have and they give you a lot of samples to try. It's not huge yet so much to explore and it's perfect if you wanna support small businesses and have some yummy food, produce and it's worth going every Saturday!

Continuing my tour of local Farmers Markets, this week I visited the one at Santana Row. One of the…read moremain reasons I'm giving it only 3 stars is the parking situation as it's always atrocious at Santana Row. Right now, their employee lot in the back is completely closed for construction, which makes things even worse for visitors trying to shop or dine. The market itself is set up near the movie theater, but the layout feels messy. Vendors are scattered in between the outdoor dining areas, so you get a stretch of stands, then a big gap of people eating dinner, then more stands, and then more diners. It doesn't flow well and feels disorganized. As for vendors, it's the usual mix: fruits and vegetables, flowers, and some assorted foods. Nothing in particular stood out to me, and honestly there isn't much that would make me choose this market over any of the others I've been to or any vendor here that I haven't seen before at a different market. It was nice to finally check it off the list, but I wouldn't go back.

Every Wednesday, the food truck opens up for its weekly farmers market, and the line is always long. I decided to give it a chance and purchase a whole chicken. One positive aspect I noticed is that once you purchase a chicken, it is carefully packed in a paper bag instead of plastic, like Costco and several grocery supermarket delis. On a personal note, I found the chicken to be delicious. I am pleased to have tasted such a high-quality.

But I visited this one at West Valley College because a friend wanted to go, and I have to say, it wasn't bad at all. The biggest plus for me was the parking. It's on a college campus, so it's spacious and incredibly easy to access--which is usually the main reason I avoid these things. The market itself is a decent size; it's lively without being suffocating, and the produce actually looked pretty good. If you enjoy farmers markets, you'll probably love it. If you're like me and usually prefer the efficiency of a grocery store, this is one of the few places where the experience doesn't feel like a chore. Given the ease of access and the quality of the atmosphere, I'm giving it a solid 5 stars. Surprisingly, it was a pleasant morning.

Many of the fruit and vegetable stands were huge, tables and table of produce. A good amount of vendors were giving out samples, anything from fruits, juices, salsas, and more! There were plenty of baked good options, almost too many to choose from. The only area that it really lacked was there weren't a ton of hot to order and eat now food vendors, but they still did have a few. The market is in the parking lot at West Valley, it was easy to find a spot a little further way from the market, while still being in the same lot. There is only one entrance/exit for the parking in that area so it can be a little hectic trying to get in and out, but actual parking was a breeze.

I sampled the olive bread from Little Sky during the summer and became addicted. 43 & Company is a new booth and everything looks delicious! All of the vendors are very friendly and you will definitely be offered a few samples as you walk through. I remember seeing something about the winter hours being 1-5pm, but I could be wrong.

The huge container of fresh lemonade is amazing- but perhaps ask for "half the sugar" or your head will be spinning for the rest of the day.
