There’s no better way to experience the true spirit of San Francisco than by wandering through its farmers markets. Picture this: the smell of just-picked herbs and fresh-baked bread in the air, the sounds of local musicians playing under sunny skies, and tables overflowing with colorful produce, handmade goods, and regional treats. Whether you’re visiting for the first time or rediscovering your city through a local lens, San Francisco’s markets invite you to slow down, savor the moment, and taste the best the Bay Area has to offer—one stall at a time.
Thanks to Northern California’s mild climate and fertile growing regions, San Francisco’s farmers markets are open year-round, with new flavors emerging each season. You’ll find an incredible variety of California-grown fruits and vegetables, farm-fresh eggs, artisanal cheeses, pasture-raised meats, sustainably caught seafood, local honey, small-batch baked goods, fresh flowers, and more—often brought in that very morning by local farmers and producers.
From iconic destinations like the Ferry Plaza to neighborhood favorites tucked into corners of the city, here’s your complete guide to exploring San Francisco’s farmers markets—where to go, when to visit, and what makes each one worth the trip.
