My favorite farmers market in SF
I came for the flea market, which I think is tomorrow but today is the farmers market and let me tell you if you’re from here you knew all about it. If you’re not from here make sure you get over here to check out this farmers market the most amazing fruits I’ve ever seen from peaches to pomegranates to plums to the biggest assortment of tomatoes I’ve ever seen in my life… everything is so sweet and so fresh and the people are so nice and there’s lots of samples to try out before you buy
My wife and I have been shopping at the Alemany Farmers Market nearly every weekend since 1999. As the oldest farmers market in San Francisco, it’s also our favorite for its unbeatable quality, friendly service, and great value. The best vendors here rival high-end grocery stores like Whole Foods in quality while offering better prices than upscale markets like the Ferry Building. Here are our top recommendations. Tomatero Farms (near the entrance): Outstanding organic produce, including strawberries (early summer to fall), dry-farmed Early Girl tomatoes (late summer to fall), and organic greens year-round. Twin Girls Farm (a third down on the left): Robert and his team offer amazing seasonal fruit—summer peaches, pluots, plums, winter citrus, pomegranates, and persimmons. The City Fish Company (at the far right): Retired fisherman Allan and his cousin Sean sell the freshest fish at competitive prices. Highlights include crab in winter, black cod year-round, halibut, rock cod, and fish heads for soups. McGinnis Ranch (halfway down on the left): The go-to spot for tender organic carrots, Blue Lake beans, and summer strawberries. Far West Fungi (near McGinnis Ranch): A gourmet selection of organic mushrooms. Panorama Bakery (prepared-food stalls near Alemany Blvd): A wide variety of breads—sourdough, sandwich loaves, focaccia—and pastries like croissants, scones, and cookies. Ferrari Farms (near the entrance): Delicious organic apples year-round, plus summer peaches, plums, cherries, and nuts like almonds and walnuts. Hooverville Orchards (far left, opposite the entrance): Chris Hoover and his daughter specialize in apples (many varieties year-round), pears, Asian pears, and persimmons. Cipponeri Family Farms (near Hooverville): Nick Cipponeri offers exceptional summer peaches, plums, and year-round almonds and nuts. Gloria Martinez’s Stand (near the entrance to the right): Great value on sweet peppers, eggplants, red onions, chilies, limes, and fall persimmons. This market is a gem—don’t miss it!
