Good fresh fruits and vegetables. Parking can be a little tough but there are several free parking lots near this place.

One of, if not the, best farmers markets in the Bay Area! Fantastic produce and food stalls. Plus, there is always fun events and live music. This weekend there was a zucchini race - adorable!

Oh my! This place is amazing! The freshness and variety of produce is off the charts. So many free samples. And then there are all the prepared foods. We tried Mando buns (like a grilled bag bun), country sourdough bread, dumplings, cardamom croissants, iced nitro coffee, and pluots. Parking is tricky, but worth the walk. Fun outing for all ages!

We’ve been to 3 farmers market in the nearby area and this is by far our favorite. It’s pretty big, lots of vendors, nice produce. Lots of vendors give out free taste, anything free is awesome. Not in picture were the corn on the cob that we got. It’s tasty, fresh, sweet, just perfect. ❤️ come on over and support local farmers.

Ridiculously overpriced goods that makes Whole Foods' prices a bargain in comparison! Although still better than other farmer markets in the Bay which really says a lot!

There's live music and very crowded, there is no personal space and easy to bump into others. Merchants start packing up and run out of produce around noon so make sure to get there early. There's even a mobile van that offers knife sharpening services, kind of weird around families and kids but ok whatever. It's next to the Caltrain stop so parking is difficult and be prepared to have your ears attacked by loud train horns.

The fruit is usually sour. The dumplings were really bland and the Laundromat Bagels lady is always rude, she hates her job and makes sure you know it!

Indeed on every Sunday its pleasure to come here for shopping farm fresh Vegetables, Fruits and lot more, directly sold by farmers themselves.
I am from India and every week the farmers bring fresh vegetables to near by market in a small town. Every town has a different day of the week .
The vegetables were very fresh and you were allowed to taste the fruits and other things.
Open air market but they arrange portable open tents for shadow.
Nice Concept, Love it.

I love farmer markets in general, and this one is my favorite down in the general San Jose area. Second only to the San Francisco Farmers market at the Pier 1 terminal building.

They have plenty of options to choose from, excellent French pastries, great Russian food choices such as blintzes and peroshki, fresh pastas, wine, olives and nuts, cheeses, tons of great produce, and one of my favorite chocolate suppliers - Bisous Chocolates.

Make sure you taste the free samples of fruit that you will find, with blood orange as a great treat. The thick hot chocolate that Bisous sells is always a treat, as are their dark chocolate coated lemon and orange peels.

There is an excellent choice of pastries to choose from the French pastry booth, you can grab one and bring it to a nearby coffee shop, such as Red Rock Coffee - just a couple of blocks away.

They almost always have musicians playing, most of the good ones with CDs to sell, usually located right next to the wine tasting booth - perfect to grab a glass of wine and listen to the music.

I've only touched on the highlights, there is plenty to choose from and I recommend you go and see for yourself...

This is my favorite market in the area, and probably the largest. Huge variety of fresh produce, ready to eat food, baked goods, flowers, meats and fish and many more! Great place to come with kids. Don't forget to bring cash and bags. Parking may be tough because it's very popular. With the live music this place always has holiday vibes!

P.S. They don't allow pets.
