Millbrae Farmers’ Market

Small farmers market. Difficult to find parking, but the vendors have good produce. Mix of organic /​«no pesticides» /​pesticide produce. I usually come here after I’ve had dim sum at a nearby location.

My new go to for fresh fruits and veggies brought in from Central California. What I love about this FM is that it is down to earth and for the community. It certainly menans something to see all the local chinese grandmas come to the same place to shop. Most veggies are only $ 1 for an entire bunch. I easily get up early on Saturday to load up on veggies for the week.

This is a great place to come for cheap produce as well as a few booths that have specialty items. If you come last minute, stands will drop their prices and you can get really good deals. The only trade off is that the selection is limited at this point and there are booths trying to convince you that certain produce are organic when it’s clear that they aren’t!

We go there almost every Saturday when it’s good weather. Small place but you get your essentials done. Veggies, fruits, and some pastry! Some items are priced lower than Lucky or Safeway (cherry tomatoes at $ 1/​lb! very sweet too!), some the same but better quality ($ 2/​lb grapes that are literally sweet like honey!).
Check it out if you are in the neighborhood.

Erhm I stumbled upon the Millbrae Farmer’s Market on a Saturday afternoon, but was pretty disappointed to find that the quality of the fruits were underwhelming. Most of the stands had fruit that looked overripe and inedible due to the mold. Specifically, there’s a stand closer to the exit that has deals such as 3lbs/​$ 5 and 80% of the fruit had mold on it. The vegetables, on the other hand, looked great and they had a lot to choose from. Would I come back? Probably not.

Maybe the best small farmers’ market in the Bay Area. You can find a wide range of both typical and unusual range of produce, especially Asian and Latin American varieties. Vendors are humble family farmers, and their kids are on hand to help out. Very authentic and honest place to buy produce.

Simply amazing! I’m not local in the slightest but this farmers market truly impressed me. Great selection of produce (the peaches are amazing). Vendors are friendly and prices are fair. There are also good places to get bread and pastries! Overall, really great market and huge perk for Millbrae residents.

I love Farmers Markets mainly for supporting the local vendors and getting fresh produce and baked goods that are not readily available in your large franchise grocery stores. The Millbrae Farmers Market is small enough to walk through in 5 minutes, and the vendors are super friendly, and offer top notch quality goods.
My favorite vendors are: Made out of Dough Scones (different flavors every week– sweet and savory like sundried tomatoes and artichoke, blueberry apricot, strawberry and sour cream, cheddar and bacon!), also Cuneo Bakery offers great fresh focaccia breads (rosemary garlic, white onion and black pepper, green olive tomato to name a few).
Open every weekend in the mornings til Noon… Check not out if you are in the area.

Great place to buy groceries for the week! How do I know? Because that’s what my wife and I have been doing for the last several months. It also motivates us to get up early on Saturday morning.
Fresh fruits and vegetables for cheap! Way cheaper than what we could buy at Lucky’s, Safeway, or even Trader Joe’s. The vendors typically remain the same, but the vegetables sometimes changes a bit. Usually $ 1.00 for a bundle of veggies.
Most fruits have been $ 1.00 — $ 1.50 a pound and most vendors let you mix and match. They also provide samples before you buy! Strawberries and other berries are $ 2.50 for a small basket or $ 5.00 for three small baskets.
There are fresh eggs, but we’ve never bought… too expensive…
There’s a honey vendor. Bought once and tastes good, but a bit expensive.
There’s a vendor that sells breads. Bought once or twice. Tastes good. Not something we regularly buy because of price.

I come here with my mom every week for grocery shopping! I love it here! In fact, the size of the market isn’t that big, but there are varieties of Asian veggies available! The veggies here are fresh and my mommy told me that the price is cheaper than the famer’s market at Serramonte! =) Awww… and I discovered they sell fresh sugar cane here… yum yum yum… fresh, sweet and juicy!!! =)

I am a Farmers market junky. I love the SF farmers market — even if that place is so expensive! I found Millbrae FM and they have great fruits and Veggies. small family type atmosphere! I wish they had some of the «Taco truck type» places to eat… or maybe I need to go back to the SF FM near the Ferry Building…

Cinnamon swirl bread.
edith’s bakery.
friends & i finished it in a day

Came down here to have brunch today and noticed the Farmer’s Mkt so i stopped by after brunch. A bit small, as all the others already mentioned. I did notice that the prices seem lower than most Farmer’s Mkt, at least the ones in SF! And i noticed alot of Chinese shoppers here…
I bought a lb of cherry tomatoes for $ 1.50 /​lb. I also bought raisin bread. I got 2 bunches of orchids as well. I wanted to buy more but there wasn’t much here. I saw a vendor selling sugar cane but my teeth are so bad i can’t really work them. If they juiced them, I’d definitely have some!
I’d come back next time when I come back for lunch. I should explore the other Farmer Mkts around.

I’m used to bustling and packed Farmer Markets with an abundance of vendors to browse from but i’m in Millbrae so I guess as Farmer Markets go, this is A-​OK!
I walked through all the stands and bought a bunch of zuchinnis and veggies for two bucks! Actually, it was just supposed to be 2 zuchinnis and 1 veggie (chinese gua) but the seller through in 3 more zuchinnis for free!
Another two vendors down, the voice calling out «free smoked salmon samples» lured me to his stand like a siren lures unsuspecting men at sea. At least 8 different varieties of smoked salmon flavors ranging from lemon pepper, garlic, to your regular plain old smoked salmon for sale. The «brick» type smoked salmon this vendor had definitely had the smokey flavor infused into the salmon. The other smoked salmon (non brick style) was a little bit fishier but makes better for a lox & bagel. If my intentions were to buy this salmon for a salad, I would have definitely bought the «brick». However, I was in the mood for a lox & bagel so I bought the other style salmon in the lemon pepper flavor.
I’m sitting now at home writing this review and enjoying my lox & bagel that I made with the delicious smoked salmon I got at the market. I love that I live in Millbrae and that a quaint, little Farmer Market is so close to me.
Friendly vendors, cheap and fresh produce… what more can you ask for? Come on down and support your local businesses! I know I’ll be back for sure!

A small Farmer’s Market right in the heart of downtown Millbrae. Prices are fabulous and we always go there to get the Foccacia breads and the Grapefruits, along with the usual weekly fruits and veggies. Definately worth a trip and a lovely walk on a beautiful sunny day!

A farmers market on two parking lots. how interesting and very smart.
Its not very big, and they dont have a wide selection of things. But we did get some nice blood oranges and a big juicy pomelo~
they had a hummus tent and one with flowers but mainly I was just happy about the blood oranges.

Hehe, the college kid working at that «The Hummus Guy» stand was so cute and nice. Their artichoke hummus and ‘Pure Baba’ baba ganoush are truly outstanding. He offered me their ‘Super Bowl special’ pricing, even though he said I didn’t seem like the Super Bowl type. (He was right, of course, but the assumption made me feel even gayer than usual… what tipped him off??)
The farmer’s market itself is rather small, with limited selection, but what there is is generally of high quality. I’ve gotten delicious fresh grapes and citrus here, and the stand closest to Broadway has great bell peppers.

right next to «The Kitchen».
the parking lot as people said is awfully small. you must find parking elsewhere in order to get out and walk around. the food such as vegetables and fruits are really fresh.
We usually come here to visit this guy who sells orchids. then we go right across from him to the farmers to buy fruits.
i’m not really sure if these guys sell pure organic or they have pesticides used.
this place is definitely a great visit on a nice and sunny day when your free in millbrae. i think it takes place on saturdays

I’ve been to this Farmers Market on and off for the last three or four years. It appears to have gotten smaller, if that’s possible.
I was there yesterday and there were about 10 vendors total. The majority of the vendors carried Asian veggies, there were 2 strawberry vendors, 2 or 3 flower/​plant vendors and I think that’s it. Cuneo’s bakery was a mainstay back in the day, but apparently no more.
I picked up some bittermelon and daikon radish from a quite surly woman. I don’t know why it is that Asian vendors treat me so badly… I suppose it’s might be because I don’t speak the language.
Hello…not my fault!!! My father’s Asian, my mother’s Polynesian. We were raised speaking English. Not my choice. My parents shared a common tongue and that was English. Again, not my choice… I wish they would have taught me their indigenous languages, but they didn’t.

Huh? A farmer’s market in Millbrae? That’s right folks. This is held on Saturdays in the early morning till about 1 pm or so. Look for the parking lot adjacent to The Kitchen (formerly Seafood Harbor RIP) dim sum seafood restaurant.
Pitifully small, but this particular market appeals to those into Chinese groceries. Here’s a breakdown of what to expect here:
First stall nearest the El Camino side is a stall that sells only fruit. Almost always navel oranges, with some grapes. Today there were large dark plums, persimmons, something that looked like satsuma mandarins but more bitter and strong flavor. The oranges are usually nice here. A 10 lb bag of baby navels will set you back $ 4 to $ 6 depending on season, but today they were $ 4, or 60 cents a lb for self pick, bigger kind. Great for juicing too.
Stall next to it sells mostly Chinese veggies, generally for $ 1 a small bundle, but practically fresher than any 99 Ranch or Marina market (as well as SF Chinatown). At least I don’t taste that nasty pesticide and sewage from these farmers. Stall next to that a bit further down is a Mexican farmer who sells things from tomatoes, various fruits, few kinds of melon/​squash. Across the stall from him is another Chinese farmer family that sells also fairly good variety of Chinese veg/​produce (and also nice quality). And right across from them is Cuneo Bakery and their killer lineup of focaccia’s (see review below).
Next to the bakery stall is a stall that sells bottled honey… not terribly interesting. Next or across from them is a guy selling flowers from his van. The remaining two stalls nearby are one person selling only strawberries, and the last stall is a Mexican farmer who sells some of the best grapes. Last week he had persimmons (tasty too).
Offerings are always seasonal, but the Chinese veggies look like they are offered practically all year round.
