    Fish get there before 8am squid todays special. Every week different
    Doug C.

    Fish market: This market has a fish market at the end every sunday opening at 7am before the farmer's market opens. Cash only. They take ebt. Many local older seniors on limited budget shopping in line. According to the seller: Anchovy is the best tasting fish. 2 types of rockfish, not including the blue fleshed ling cod. One with a sharp mouth and more of a streamlined shape and one with a red pigment which makes it look like snapper. Seller says the snapper looking one tastes better but I found the opposite to be true when steamed with ginger and onion. No SS needed. Local pomfret for Indian tuna and bluefin tuna when in season. The tuna makes excellent sushi. They leave Wed to fish and return Sun morning directly to the market Legal with permits caught north of santa cruz. Easily the freshest and most reasonably priced freshly caught local fish in the bay area. Family run operation from 80s. Can see the degradation in the selection, size and amount of fish over the decades. Many independent boats have stopped fishing because of degraded fisheries. Salmon is no longer available directly from the boats in HMB, now mostly crab and black cod.

    We stopped by on a Sunday afternoon around 12:15 pm. It's a smaller scaled Farmer's Market located on the outskirts of The Great Mall. Typical fruit stands, vegetable stands, flowers, bakery stands, seafood stands, and hot food stands. Sweet samples of Cara Cara oranges and navel oranges.

    Visited around 11am this past Sunday, and they had Iimited offerings compared to other farmers' markets (such as Sunnyvale or Mountain View)... but from the few things we did get, the products and service were phenomenal. Yummy pastries and sandwiches (ie. jalapeno & cheese croissant) from Adorable French Bakery, coffee beverages from Buggy's Brew, oyster mushrooms and grapes from the veggie food stands, delicious filipino snacks (bbq pork, lumpia, and spring rolls) from Mekeni's Abe, and some tasty braised beef steamed buns from one of the other hot food stands. This is a small and simple farmers' market, just fruits, veggies, a few desserts and hot food stands, and several flower vendors. No decor, live music, or any kind of entertainment. And parking isn't easy in the Great Mall parking lot during the holidays, but that's expected.

    Pricey like most Farmers Markets. But you go here for the fresh local vegetables, fresh local fish, and the small community vibe. (You don't really get the small community vibe here, but there is fresh produce!) A Farmers Market unlocks many other varieties of produce or fish that you must try. It's hard to explain which, but ask the sellers how they recommend prepping the stuff. It's fun talking to the merchants to ask where they're from, how they grow / catch their fish, haggle, etc. That's not something you get at a Safeway or Whole Foods or Trader Joe. Unfortunately this farmers market is on the tiny side, not a lot of variety beyond produce. I wish there were small artist stalls, meats, cheese, etc. Parking is a breeze since it's at Great Mall. It does get hot though because there's absolutely no shade!

    Live music today ... go to BenJames.net ... or come to the farmers market!

    First impression... Live music is always a winner. Smell of fresh popped popcorn ... yum! A lot of fruit this time of year. They say cherries should arrive around July. Feels like there are more food establishments than fresh produce ... LOL. Certainly worth a stop if you haven't been. Get a little sun and enjoy life!

    This farmers' market is small and has limited choices. The stands offer similar items. Nevertheless, I still appreciate it being there consistently on Sundays to offer fresh produce especially vegetables that you don't often see at the major grocery stores. Sometimes, there's even music playing. Parking is convenient since it's at the Great Mall. Go early or there won't be much left to pick from.

    Bought a crate of strawberries.... Never taste any strawberries that gross in the BayArea! Those strawberries tasted like previously soaked in dirty smelly water. Gross!! I will (and should) stick with buying from the trusted Campbell's farmers market instead as my regular go-to place for "trusted" real farmers (even though it's a bit far). (One star is for the ample parking spaces around GrealMall)

    What a great little farmers market! It was a bit of a drive for us but it was worth it. Located at the Great Mall, this medium size farmers market has a ton of variety. If you are looking for Asian produce (Burdock, lemongrass etc) this one is a must stop. It also has all of the typical wares one would expect. The prices were pretty good as well There is ample parking and the market is well laid out.

    Tumeric flowers ($5 bundle).

    Small but affordable farmer's market. It does feel like sometimes a visit can be a hit or miss depending on what stands are present and what fares they bring. There's a limited number of stands. Most of them boast a similar variety of fresh fruits and vegetables. There were also 2 seafood stands, 1 honey stand, and a handful of prepared food stands during the September weekend I went. Fruits: Peaches, grapes, tomatoes, pluots, plums, cantaloupe, watermelon, apples, strawberries, blackberries, etc Vegetables: Herbs galore (mint, basil, thai basil, etc), yam leaves, Asian veggies, eggplants, carrots, kale, cabbage, peppers, etc Many of the stone fruits are $2.50/lb or 5lbs for $10. There was an herb stand with 75¢ to $1 bunches and a 4 bunches for $3 deal. Fun market to get weekly groceries. It'd be nice if there were more variety available, but I'd still come back anyway for the price points. **NOTE: please select your produce carefully! One of the herb bunches I bought contained a LIVE hornet/wasp/idkitwasyellowwithwingsomg. That cost me a few hours of freaking out and trying to get it out of my kitchen. So I guess produce may be fresh from outside, but I hope they take more care not to bundle in live bugs like that!

Everything is made fresh to order, and you can really taste the quality in every dish. I especially loved the grilled meats -- they had that perfect smoky char flavor straight from the grill. The staff were incredibly friendly and took the time to explain the different dishes and the best way to enjoy them. Beef, Kofta & Chicken: Super flavorful and packed with spices, with an amazing grilled/charred flavor. I loved being able to build my own wrap with all the different veggies and sauces! Hawawshi Traditional (Egyptian Meat Pie): Similar to arayes, but even more flavorful and juicy. It comes generously stuffed, and the arugula paired perfectly with it. Chicken Breast Bowl: OMG, the fries were so good! The chicken and fries combo worked perfectly together. The chicken had subtle hints of lime and was served over a creamy mayo-style sauce that tied everything together. Salad: Light, refreshing, and topped with onions, pickled veggies, fruit, and vinaigrette. Overall, it's such a fun and casual place to hang out.

During that time, the staff never acknowledged us, and we had to make several attempts to get someone's attention just to ask about our order. The food ended up being good but not enough to justify the long wait. The dining area was also a letdown. The enclosed patio with its clear plastic covering trapped the heat, making it feel like we were sitting inside a greenhouse. It was uncomfortably warm and made the meal much less enjoyable. Overall, the food was fine, but the combination of the long wait, lack of communication, and uncomfortable dining area made for a disappointing experience.

They accept EBT and I believe they have student discount on Sundays as well. The place is generally clean and organized and the aisles have enough space for people to go by each other without being squeezed too much. I overall like shopping here especially because there's lots of food and drinks in the same plaza and it's nice to have a lot of businesses gathered in the same place. I feel like the large majority of the older people working here whether as cashiers at the main checkout or at the food or bakery are pretty nice and friendly, maybe some of them are more brusque but I don't mind it. The only people I feel like are rude are the majority of the young people who work here?? I don't really get why but there's frequently a young person working at the main checkout who seems like they're in an awful mood and takes it out on the customers in petty ways. So weird! Otherwise, this is a great, inexpensive place to shop at, and I love the Chinese snacks, fruits, and everything else that I wouldn't otherwise get so easily at other stores. Parking in the afternoons can be somewhat difficult but I always find a spot.

I didn't see it from the street until I got close up. So I walked around and I got a few things. When I went to the register, the gentleman at the register seemed kind of fun and snarky. I told him that this is nice, I'm glad to see it. I didn't know it was here. He said, 'Too bad there's not a big sign on the street to show where it is.' I said, right and smiled. I guess the next shift person traded places right then. She was very sweet. I finished and walked to my bus stop. That's when I noticed the sign he was talking about. I couldn't see it from the side of the street I entered in. I felt pretty stupid. I probably won't go back to this store. I work in customer service and get the snark. Customer service is not easy. I'm new to the area and he made me feel stupid. I would get it more if I had approached him with snark but I didn't. I was genuinely delighted to see the store there. It's a nice location and well stocked. I've always loved the produce. 4 out of 5 is a good score. It's a nice store but I will not be back.

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.
