The Experience, Emeryville: Saturday Farmers’ Market

The Experience:

Fresh local produce for Emeryville!

 Saturday Farmers’ Market Suspended. It’s coming back soon. The Emery needs to procure a temporary permit which can happen quickly – probably within a week. Stay Tuned!

Brought to us by the Regional Farmers’ Market Association, The Emery Farmers’ Market is located at 45th and Hubbard St between two of the buildings comprising The Emery. RFMA is dedicated to creating a sustainable platform for small farmers, independent food producers and artisans to sell their products directly to us. And there’s nothing like a melon picked fresh just this morning!

“I am very excited to welcome a farmer’s market into Emeryville,” comments Mayor Courtney Welch (pictured here with RFMA Manager, Greg Pursley). “Not only is it something many residents have inquired about and asked for, it is an opportunity to increase food access, support our local agricultural system and build community.

“It is a gathering place for the city of Emeryville and a space for us all to connect over fresh, healthy foods and conversation. I look forward to frequenting my fellow residents and enjoying the bounty brought forth by the Farmers Market.”

The Farmers’ Market opens at 11am on Saturdays and closes at 3pm.  Grab your bags, head on down to Hubbard & 45th and enjoy shopping outdoors for fresh berries, vegetables, melons and more.
