Evergreen Farmers' Market

Evergreen Farmers' Market is part of PCFMA, the nonprofit founded in 1988 with a mission to support California farmers and communities through farmers' markets serving the Bay Area’s diverse communities. In San Jose’s Evergreen Village Square, that mission shows up in a market that runs twice a week, year-round, giving shoppers regular access to farm produce, prepared foods, baked goods, plants, honey, and specialty products in one stop. The vendor roster stretches from long-established farm names to ready-to-eat stalls, which makes this market feel designed for both weekly grocery runs and midweek pickups.

Why it matters locally

PCFMA’s stated mission is to support California farmers and communities, and Evergreen is one of the places where that support becomes a routine neighborhood service in San Jose. The market operates on both Sundays and Wednesdays throughout the year, creating repeated buying opportunities rather than a short seasonal window.

The market’s farm connections are concrete. The Andreotti family has cultivated produce in Half Moon Bay for nearly 100 years, and Stepladder Ranch & Creamery brings products from its family farm in Cambria, including goat and cow’s milk cheeses, citrus, and heritage pigs. Alongside those producers, PCFMA also emphasizes nutrition access through CalFresh and Market Match, tying local farm sales to food affordability programs that help more households bring fresh fruits and vegetables home.

What you'll find there

Evergreen’s lineup reads broad rather than narrow: produce farms, orchards, nurseries, bakers, hot-food vendors, seafood, flowers, honey, and specialty pantry makers all appear on the roster. That mix supports practical shopping first, with enough prepared food and specialty stalls to turn a produce stop into lunch or a longer browse.

Know before you go

No dogs are allowed, which is the clearest visit rule to factor in before heading to Evergreen Village Square. The market is located at 4055 Evergreen Village Square in San Jose and runs during a morning-to-early-afternoon window on both Sundays and Wednesdays, so it fits either a weekend stock-up or a weekday produce stop. Restrooms are not listed as available on site, another practical detail to plan around. Because the market operates year-round and payment methods are clearly supported, it works well as a regular grocery routine rather than a one-off seasonal outing.

Payments & SNAP

Evergreen Farmers' Market accepts SNAP/EBT, and PCFMA also promotes Market Match to help shoppers put more fresh fruits and vegetables on the table. PCFMA materials also note WIC-FMNP alongside EBT and Market Match as part of its fresh-food affordability programs. With payment methods clearly supported at the market, this is a practical stop for shoppers using food assistance benefits.
