Kaiser Redwood City Certified Farmers' Market

Kaiser Redwood City Certified Farmers' Market sits within a network run by PCFMA, a nonprofit founded in 1988 with a mission to support California farmers and communities through farmers' markets across the Bay Area. That mission gives this Redwood City market a clear frame: direct farm sales, seasonal produce, and food access programs all in one stop. The market’s certified format and its PCFMA connection point toward a produce-first shopping trip, with named farm vendors and SNAP-friendly support already built into the experience.

Why it matters locally

PCFMA’s stated mission is to support California farmers and communities, and that mission is the clearest reason this Redwood City market matters in local life. The farmers named for this market tie shoppers to specific California producers rather than anonymous inventory: the Andreotti family has cultivated produce in Half Moon Bay for nearly 100 years, and Stepladder Ranch & Creamery operates a family farm in Cambria producing cheese, citrus, and heritage pigs.

Food access is part of the local role here too. PCFMA markets accept CalFresh and run Market Match, a program designed to stretch shoppers’ budgets for fresh fruits and vegetables. PCFMA has also highlighted advocacy around CalFresh nutrition access and the California Nutrition Incentive Program, showing that affordability is tied to the market’s purpose, not treated as an add-on.

What you'll find there

The mix highlighted for this market stays close to farm production and specialty food rather than a long catalog of prepared goods. The named lineup points to produce, dairy, and a distinctive ready-to-eat slaw, with products tied to individual growers and makers.

• -Shop Andreotti Farms for fresh, sustainable produce grown by a long-running family farm in Half Moon Bay.
• -Pick up Stepladder Ranch & Creamery goat and cow's milk cheeses from its family farm operation in Cambria.
• -Look for Oliver's Microgreens Slaw, described as a light, fresh, and piquant slaw recipe.

PCFMA also features Market Match across its farmers' markets, making fresh fruits and vegetables a visible part of the shopping focus here.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is the detail most likely to change your plan before heading to Veterans Blvd. and Maple St.. Restrooms are also not available, so this is a market where short, purposeful shopping makes more sense than lingering without a backup plan. The market operates seasonally from April through October rather than year-round, another useful distinction if you are building it into a regular routine.

The setting is at Veterans Blvd. and Maple St. in Redwood City, a straightforward intersection location rather than a large destination campus. Payment methods are clearly identified through PCFMA, which helps if you are planning to use benefits or mixed payment types at the booth level.

Payments & SNAP

SNAP/EBT is accepted here through PCFMA’s farmers' market system, and Market Match is part of that setup for fresh fruits and vegetables. PCFMA also notes WIC-FMNP acceptance across its markets and has shared updates related to eWIC, Senior FMNP, and CalFresh timing, reinforcing that benefit use is an established part of shopping rather than a one-off accommodation.
