There are more than 60 Farmers' Markets located in various cities and communities throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. These Markets offer the finest farm-fresh fruits and vegetables as well as just-picked flowers, artisan breads and other baked goods, locally-produced cheeses and sometimes even freshly caught fish. The Pacific Coast Farmers' Market Association (PCFMA) is the largest Farmers' Market organization in California; a non-profit corporation operating 17 Certified  Markets in the greater Bay Area. Each of our Markets operates under the regulations of the Department of Food & Agriculture, as well as any other regulations specific to the individual Market's locale.

A Certified Farmers' Market is a location approved by the County Agricultural Commissioner where certified growers from all over California gather to sell only those fruits, nuts and vegetables they have grown themselves.  At a Certified Farmers' Market only California-grown products may be sold; and no one  is allowed  to buy products and re-sell them.  In short, Certified Farmers' Markets are THE REAL THING...places where genuine farmers sell their own crops directly to the public.

Our mission is to establish and maintain successful, viable Certified Farmers' Markets for our members and provide the community with access to farm-fresh produce while helping create a neighborhood atmosphere in the communities we serve.
