Farmer's Markets Around the Bay Area

Nothing says summer like a good farmer’s market. Feeling the warm sunshine, smelling freshly baked goods, and seeing the brightly colored fruit and vegetables—it is truly a feast for all senses.

Many farmers’ markets also have crafts, wine booths, live music and activities for kids. Although there are hundreds to choose from throughout the bay area and wine country, here are just a few of our favorites.

The Healdsburg Tuesday Market has live bands each week, and a popular central square. St. Helena’s Farmer’s Market has great picnic spots and a wonderful playground for the kids. Napa Chef’s Market has live music, wine booths and lots of activities for kids. San Francisco Ferry Plaza is a bustling market with a cool indoor-outdoor atmosphere, and you can grab a bite and eat it out on the pier.
