Serious EatsOctober 8, 2013The Alemany Farmers' Market is known as "the people's market' for its abundant produce at affordable prices. If you're shopping for Asian vegetables, this is your scene.
Get cash before arriving to the Farmers Market. Small bills are best for most stalls although the pre-made food booths add up. Most vendors accept cash only. There are no stores or ATMs nearby.
Best thing about this market is that every stand will let you generously sample its wares. Not all of what's being sold is great but you can just eat your way to whatever's best that week
Best farmers market in the city. So many amazing farms come each week with fresh local produce.- Pay attention to the traffic directors. They'll let you know if there are parking spaces in the middle section. Drive super slow because people are distracted and walking everywhere.
Rachel BerkowitzJune 24, 2012Come on Sundays, when it becomes the Alemany Flea Market. Tons of great loot and a nice Panorama Bakery stand for fresh loaves, foccacias and pastries.
Eric M.August 16, 2014Get here early for the best selections. Wonderful, seasonal fruit and vegetables, as well as eggs and fresh bread.- Lots of great, cheap groceries! Open from dawn till dusk but seems to thin out quite a bit by noon.
They’ve got the best fruits here which vary seasonally. Try many stalls week by week until you find the ones you like.
Arrive early...easier parking and better fresher selection of produce! Always remember the early bird catchs the worm!!
Good produce without the crazy prices. Make sure you walk around to find the best priced stalls as some farmers just seem overpriced.
Do not miss the perpared food vendors: tons of great Mexican food, BBQ, crepes, pizza and the all important Afghani bread-and-spread with free samples galore served by a beautiful hustler.
Try oysters from Pt. Reyes Oyster Farm. $10 for a dozen! So fresh you could smell the ocean. Best of all they're local :)
Jacob StillmanFebruary 9, 2013prepared food vendors and produce at great prices. what's not to like?
Good prices. Great produce. Bad parking. Just be patient.- Amber DubyaSeptember 3, 2009Visit for all your produce needs but most importantly, stop by the naan & chutney food booth and let the guy who operates it feed you full of his delicious warez
Maia BittnerJuly 5, 2012Forget to bring cash? There's no ATM, but the Bolanis will give you cash back if you buy something with your debit card!
Christina SmithSeptember 4, 2011Stop by bryants booth in space 106....great prices...then ask him where his mom is....they both give some great deals.
Be sure to reward yourself with a trip to pick up some Hummus, Tamales or Brick Oven Pizza.
- Go visit the Hummus Guy, hands down best vendor there. He'll make your morning.
James YuJuly 12, 2009Come here to get all sorts of fresh produce. Very friendly vendors. Much better than the crowded and touristy Ferry Building farmer's market. Cheaper too.
Get Pomelos for $0.50 each. They aren't the biggest ones but still worth it!
ScoutmobNovember 28, 2011Bernal Heights' Alemany Farmers' Market is home to the oldest extant farmers' markets in the US, operating every Saturday since August 4, 1947.
Aki KotoFebruary 7, 2010Awesome place to buy fresh organic vegis and fruits. Summer is much better because they have plenty different kinds.
Mister ArcherFebruary 25, 2010Give back to the community and volunteer at Alemany. When you give, you also receive... much good will, along with a bountiful harvest of fresh produce. Philanthropy never tasted so good. Read more
Seenu UpadhyaApril 3, 2010Be sure to see the pretty Afghan girl at her dips+spreads+breads stand - tons of samples and great food
avoid the traffic at the entrance of the Alemany Farmer's Market by going up Putnam and turning right at Tompkin's to enter parking lot through the back.
Johanna EvansApril 2, 2011Get the ugly shitake mushrooms. Only slightly blemished for a fraction of the price.
The first one... And still the best... Summer fruit is SO sweet...
Try Good Food Caters "New BLT" if you are a pork belly fan
Great deals on fresh produce. Come here early before they run out!
Same great produce as the ferry building at a fraction of the cost.
- Get a pulled pork sandwich from Dante at good food catering. It will blow your mind.
