Danville Farmers' Market

Danville Farmers' Market is part of PCFMA, a nonprofit founded in 1988 with a mission to support California farmers and communities by providing farmers' markets across the Bay Area. That mission gives this market a clear frame: direct access to farm-grown produce, prepared items rooted in agricultural products, and food access programs that keep fresh ingredients in reach. In Danville, the market brings that model to the Railroad and Prospect setting, pairing a year-round schedule with vendors that range from a Half Moon Bay produce farm to a Cambria creamery.

Why it matters locally

PCFMA runs Danville Farmers' Market as part of a broader effort to support California farmers and communities, which ties the market directly to working farms rather than a general retail mix. The vendors highlighted here show that link clearly: Andreotti Farms has cultivated produce in Half Moon Bay for nearly 100 years, while Stepladder Ranch & Creamery is a family farm in Cambria producing cheese, growing citrus, and raising heritage pigs.

Food access is another local function built into the market. PCFMA markets accept CalFresh/EBT, and the organization promotes Market Match to help shoppers put more fresh fruits and vegetables on the table with additional funds tied to CalFresh/EBT purchases. That combination keeps the market oriented toward farm sales and everyday grocery use at the same time.

What you'll find there

The mix highlighted for Danville leans toward farm products with a clear producer identity rather than anonymous stalls. Expect a small but distinctive lineup in the market materials, including fresh produce, dairy, and a prepared slaw built around microgreens.

• -Andreotti Farms brings fresh, sustainable produce grown in Half Moon Bay by the Andreotti family.
• -Stepladder Ranch & Creamery offers goat and cow's milk cheeses, plus citrus and heritage pork from its family farm in Cambria.
• -Oliver's Microgreens Slaw features a slaw made with microgreens.

The market also points shoppers to a seasonal product guide through its “What's In Season?” feature, which can help shape a produce-first visit. Market Match is another active program here, adding support for fruit-and-vegetable shopping with CalFresh/EBT purchases at PCFMA markets.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed at Danville Farmers' Market, a rule that may change plans before you leave home. The market is located at Railroad and Prospect in Danville and runs year-round, which makes it a steady option rather than a short seasonal market. Restrooms are not available on site, another practical detail to factor into your stop, especially if you're planning a longer morning errand loop.

Payment options are clearly identified, and SNAP/EBT is accepted through the PCFMA system. The vendor roster highlighted in market materials is rooted in California producers, so this is a useful stop if you're shopping specifically for produce, cheese, and other farm-based foods rather than crafts or nonfood goods.

Payments & SNAP

Danville Farmers' Market accepts SNAP/EBT through PCFMA's market system. PCFMA also offers Market Match, a program that adds funds when shoppers use a CalFresh/EBT card at a PCFMA farmers' market, with the goal of making fresh fruits and vegetables more affordable. Payment methods are presented clearly for visitors planning purchases.
