50 Fremont Plaza Farmers Market

Amazing ripe strawberries. Peaches, Plums, Pluots. Nectarines. Delicious for lunch :)
Also some tasty hummus and about 30 types of flavored, roasted pistashios and almonds.
A half flat of strawberries (6 pints) is $ 12. Split a flat with a friend for $ 10 each.

This place is so small. There are only 3 tents and they only sell fruit. Maybe I went there at a bad time but the strawberries from there were really good. The farmer said that they were freshly picked that morning and they are super cheap!!! Check it out if you want good fruits

They say that there’s no such thing as a bad Farmer’s Market. I hit one once in Denver, but other than that one heroine-​fueled den of iniquity, Farmer’s Markets are usually pretty darn great. This place is solid. And they have good fresh food. And that’s what it’s all about.
I was not immediately warm to this Farmer’s Market. It’s small. There is not variety week-​to-​week. They only have about 4 regulars stands and I believe it was up to 5 – 6 today. As of the Summer of 2015, you got: The place with lots of good nuts, The Hummus Guys™, the place with really sweet Strawberries, and the fruit place with tons of samples. Couldn’t tell you what the new stands were today.
There are the cafes in the 50 Fremont Plaza complex. So, you can check those out too. I believe the food truck spot operates on Mondays too. So, you can make a whole lunch break out of it. But really, it’s another great spot in SF and there is plenty of competition. This ain’t the sexiest Farmer’s Market in SF, but it is A-​Ok in Adam S.‘s book.

It’s a tiny-​ass farmer’s market, one of few that’s open on Monday. I’d like to see more variety.

It’s hard to find mediocre farmer’s markets in the City, but this one is close to sub-​par. Today there was only one produce stand and it was only fruits, no veggies. No organic produce today at all.
The last time I was here, the organic veggie stand prices were extremely high, even for SF standards. The whole point of a farmer’s market is direct to consumer, right? Prices and quality shouldn’t be better at Whole Foods.

super small farmers market in the fremont plaza filled with quick food takeout and restaurants. theres probably only about 5 – 6 stands selling fruits and pies during my visit.
right next to the food truck stop, which is cool to get in some fresh fruits while waiting for your order.

Cute little outdoor market with the nut guys — tons of almonds, pistachios, etc., fruit stands, kettle corn, gluten free breads, cookies, and cakes, a pita man with hummus, pie man, nice little stop for lunch.

The Farmer’s Market is busier again, after a winter break. Stopped by today to get some fresh parsley for tonight’s dinner and almost impulse bought several of the orchids — all under $ 10! Hoping more produce vendors will be coming back next week.

nasty i went to this farmers market this morning as they were setting up i seen one person being rude knocking on people car window to move there car, i seen some one drop some fruit on the ground then picked it up to sale it, that’s nasty there was a women smoking and setting up fruit at the same time if you go to this framers market make sure you clean you food off well

Got there just as stands were being packed up and there was still a lot to choose from! I got a lot of fresh veggies for only 9 $! Great prices for artichokes, green beans, etc.
I love that the farmer’s market is open on a Monday! Fresh food every day of the week!!!

The selection is weak to be honest. I know it’s a farmers market and the selection is seasonal but the farmers all have the same limited stuff. The past 2 months all I’ve really seen in terms of veggies/​fruits has been strawberries and a few peppers. There a few other random fruits/​veggies that change from time to time but I’m just not satisfied with it. Perhaps my rating is based upon what I’m actually interested in rather than the market overall but that’s what matters to me.
There’s someone selling cheesecake, kettle-​corn, hummus, nuts, soaps and some other stuff that I’m not that interested in. I’ll try to go more regularly just so I can see how the selection changes with the seasons and I’ll update my rating at that point.

I love that there is now a Monday farmer’s market.
To cure the Monday morning blues — just head on over to 50 Fremont and stock up on some mood lifting veggies and fruits. Despite giving up dairy I was tempted to try an enticing slab of cheesecake from Divine Slice.
Make sure to grab some lemon herb pita chips as well as some Black Bean Chipotle Harissa hummus from Hummus Heaven and some cinnamon bread from the Bread Project and you’ll be all set.
Trust.

I love this Farmer’s Market! It’s so convenient to my office and the selection of vendors is great. It was a nice treat to find the Divine Slice Cheesecake too! You can’t find really good Cheesecake in SF unless you venture to the Cheesecake Factory and I’m not a big fan of their long lines and exaggerated prices. All I can say is yum! Her cheesecake was so moist, rich and creamy! I recommend the banana to anyone.

It’s NOT a toursity attraction, like the Ferry bldg farmers market.
but it’s a GREAT place for people who live/​work close to SOMA.
It’s not as pricey as the Ferry building farmer’s market on Sunday, and it has most of the essentials. It doesn’t have a lot of fancy items.
HOURS: Starting July 11, there hours will be 11am — 3pm. Closed July 4
Some items that I saw today June 27 (at least what I remember):
— $ 2/​lb (vs $ 3 at Ferry): white nectarines, white peaches, pluots (forgot the name, but super juicy), yellow peaches, yellow nectarines, aprictos
— $ 1/​lb SWEET juicy oranges
— Cherries, strawberries, veggies (vine ripe tomatoes, kale, etc)
— Cupcakes, kettle corn, tamales, hummus, olive oil, soap, flowers.
— my favorite: the tofu stand. Super healthy and reasonably priced lunch.

Great prices!
Convenient location.
Friendly vendors.
Free samples.
Monday!

This is a very nicely orchestrated market with a great variety of produce and prepared foods. The fruits and vegetables are extremely great quality. You can find a plethora of certified organic produce or pesticide free produce at even lesser prices. I often am not around on weekends to go grocery shopping, and find this Monday Market perfect to stock up on my healthy fruits and vegetables to last me the rest of the week. I even buy my eggs and pasta, and now have little reason to visit a big grocery store conglomerate anymore.

Organizer: Island Earth Farmers Market Association
Season: open all year
Schedule: Mondays noon-​3pm
Those who miss the Metreon’s FM (closed in 2009), will be glad to know that it has found a new home. No longer indoors, it’s located in the open plaza across the street from Jack in the Box (First st.). In other words, the patio area next to Julie’s Kitchen, Subway, and Baja Fresh (closed).
Similar to the previous concept, expect to see mostly organic prepared foods, pastries, including a few vegan items. It’s a small space so manage your expectations. Many vendors are looking for venues like this to showcase their products. So it has the potential to have more variety in the future, and be popular with the office lunch crowd.
**Update 1: Added more vendors, and revised scheduled hours (previously noon-5:30pm), now 11am-​3pm.
**Update 2: For 2012, revised hours are noon-​3pm. And new contact phone is (415) 410‑6595.
