Downtown Berkeley Farmers' Market

San Francisco and the Bay Area’s 12 Best Farmers Markets | Eater

"Berkeley’s reputation as a liberal-minded, organic-loving enclave comes to life in its excellent farmers markets. Three weekly markets are operated by the nonprofit Ecology Center, which spearheads the Market Match Program, giving dollar-to-dollar matches for shoppers using SNAP that allow their funds to go that much further. Each market spotlights independent farmers like Annabelle Lenderink of La Tercera, selling lesser-known vegetables like the edible green shrub agretti and unfamiliar squashes; Efren Avalos of Avalos Farm who grows berries and vegetables; and Churchill-Brenneis Orchard who has unusual citrus and avocados. Don’t miss the prepared foods, either, like Nazifa Sidiq’s vegan Afghan flatbreads at Bolani." - Vox Creative
